“Rooster-roo”

Key Lime Inn

Save Review
2 of 5 stars
Cumbria, UK
12 May 2008

We had booked the hotel for 2 nights in a queen size 'country room'. The room was in a single storey 'cabin' in the grounds. Country-style is one description for the room. Don't expect a glamourous room. Historic meaning old, definitely. Rustic comes to mind. The room was small, not much bigger than the bed and the bathroom minute, it seemed be be 'tacked on' to the end of the room. The location is good, within easy walking distance of Duval St. However, there was one major problem. Chickens and roosters. These wandered loose in the grounds. Have you ever been woken by a rooster standing outside your door at 2 in the morning? And then at 3, and 4? Some might think it entertaining or an adventure, but it was a real pain. The owners who live in the main house said that they never notice the noise. Having been kept awake all night we decided to move out and find somewhere quiet.

“Just OK”

Key Lime Inn

9 May 2008

We stayed here in April 08. Were required to pay for our five nights accommodation when we checked in! The accommodations were just OK - clean but warn and dated. Won't stay there again; there are nicer places for the price.

“Relaxing stay & roosters too”

Key Lime Inn

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Atlanta, GA
3 May 2008

Key Lime Inn was relaxing, perfect for a getaway. It was clsoe enough to the action (few blocks to Duval), but not loud. The pool is the best part, large, plenty of room and shaded under a canopy of palms. I could have stayed there all day.

The rooms were smaller but similar to any beach hotel. Nice flat screen TV, toiletries were above average. They supplied beach towels. A/C worked well and was loud enough to drown out most of the crowing. Overall the Key Lime was quiet, roosters aside. They have a nice courtyard with swing. And there is free parking.

The continental breakfast was pleasant, that is all I need. Coffee may have been strong for vacation but that is OK. PLeny of places to walk to, and a CVS across the street for snacks.

The roosters & chickens..very entertaining to me. I do not recall that many roosters in KW before but they were hysterical. They crowed all day long, all night long and strutted around the pool. They appeared at my feet one AM. It really gave the inn a flavor. We named them and thought they were great.

Yes, we'd go back, have great memories.

“Great place to stay”

Key Lime Inn

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Green Bay
28 Apr 2008

We stayed at the Key Lime in the middle ot April and it is a great place to stay. Close to the action and still quiet. We meet very nice people who had been staying at Key Lime Inn for several years. The roosters crow day and night - rather funny, I thought. The breakfast is toast, yogurt, coffee and juice, but it was nice not to have to go out for every meal. Rooms are not big, but how much time to do spend in them? Would highly recommend staying here.

“The Worst Stay”

Key Lime Inn

22 Apr 2008

I love Key West. I have stayed at about 15 different guesthouses as well and B&B’s. This time around I decided to stay at the Key Lime Inn to my surprise it was the worst experience ever. The property was beautiful to say the least until 5:30 AM when about 8 roosters decided to crow their way in to my sleep until 11:30 that I checked out. Since the property is open the local rooters could walk in as they please. Even though I love animals I must say that this was a big problem. No other place that I have staid in has ever had this issue. To be honest with you I walked over to Dennis that morning and asked for country chicken fried steak. I will never stay in this location no matter how wonderful the actual property was. I believe part of a vacation is sleeping in and relaxing.
