after a long but beautiful drive from Miami we were warmly greeted by the hostess who was very informative without being intrusive. our room was spacious and clean with air con, fan and well equipped (fridge, wardrobe, commode, ... ). A chilled (with hot option) filtered water dispenser and a ice machine are free to use in the common area.... More

Only stayed one night. Accomodations were ok but nothing special. Place looks a little run down from what I could see. Off the beaten path but fairly close to the wharf. Nothing around so you have to walk or drive several blocks for everything. Although the hostess/receptionist was extremely nice and helpful, most likely would not stay here in the... More

Stayed 2 nights in The Artists Room in this B&B, liked it. The welcome of the hostess was very friendly and informative. We where shown to a nice room with sufficient space, a tv, aircon and a small but good bathroom. The decoration of the room really brought it alive and we felt right at home. Complimentary breakfast is simple... More

We spent 3 nights at Authors and could not have been more pleased. Room was clean and comfortable and the gardens and deck were wonderful for a quiet time sitting and sipping a glass of wine. The hot tub was great too! Breakfast was simple but adequate. We walked to all of the Key West attractions such as Mallory Square... More

Nice property, far from the bustle of Duval. We stayed a total of 3 nights, and enjoyed our stay. The family style courtyard was a nice way to interact with the other guests. Breakfast in the morning was more than adequate to us consisting of bagels, yogurt, fruit, coffee, juice. The property is very comfortable and quiet (especially at night... More

We stayed at Author's of Key West for only 1 short night of my 40th birthday. It was great, just what you would expect for Key West. Quiet placement away from Duval street, but across the street from a great little cuban restaurant.

Clean, comfortable, super cute room (tempurpedic bed!), nice staff. And the price was certainly right compared to other places I looked at. They serve a very light continental breakfast on the patio in the mornings, which is nice, and have a little pool. Well, really more of a lukewarm hot tub but great for a dip before bed. The downside... More

My wife and I stayed at Authors and were pleasantly surprised. Though about a twenty minute walk from Duvall Streeet, the location offers perks you wouldn't otherwise find, such as parking and convenience shops nearby. The rooms are pleasant and clean, and the staff helpful. The pool, though tiny, was very nice and also clean. The only (slight) negative: Breakfast,... More

Spend 4 nights here in February 2013 and had a great stay. We were welcomed by a friendly lady that showed us around and gave us information about Key West and its attractions and restaurants. It's a bit of a walk to Duval Street (15 minutes) but we had fun walking different routes through nice streets and across the impressive... More
