Key West Harbor Inn

Love this place and always stay with Tracy at the harbor house. Rooms are great, pool is fantastic, breakfast is stellar, the building is old and impressive, and it’s SO close to the bars!!! No complaints in 3 stays. No better way to stay!!!

Perfect stay last year between xmas and new year. Clean, quiet and close to everything. Great hostess and staff.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights for our 15^th anniversary. The place is beautiful! We stayed in the Antigua room in the pool house which was perfect for us. The pool area is gorgeous and is a great place for breakfast and the daily happy hour. Leonardo and the staff were amazing! Parking can be tricky but we lucked up and got a space right in front of the Inn and did not move it the whole time we were there. You can walk or bike anywhere. It’s 2 blocks from Duval and all the action but still quiet and relaxing. You get the best of both worlds! We enjoyed getting to know other couples during happy hour and found that most are return guests. We will follow suit and definitely stay again next time we are in Key West!

Check this place out on Trip Advisor. Quaint, private, spotlessly clean. Free breakfast. Free happy hour. Reasonable rates. Adults only. Have stayed here more times than I can count. I never stay anywhere else when I come here to dive…

OK, so my husband and I argue over the number of stars, so we’ll settle for 4.5 stars. I want to rate it 5 stars, but my husband points out that there were some cosmetic improvements that could be made to the grounds.
That being said, we loved this place. We had never been to Key West, and weren’t sure what to expect, but after a week of work in Miami, this was the perfect place to relax. We liked that it was not on Duval street, but a few blocks off. We were close enough to the madness to get there in just a few minutes, but it was also pleasantly quiet at night. I would not suggest staying here if you need to be right in the mix, because I suppose that walk back can be daunting to drunks – we passed a handful of them on the sidewalk, seemingly confused on where they were going. I don’t think they were staying at the Harbor Inn, but even if they were the passcode on the front gate would have completely stumped them anyway.
We got in late the first night, and it was no problem, they made arrangements to get us into the room. The room was clean and cool (the AC was actually very loud), although quite small. We had a normal room on the 2^nd floor, but there were other types of rooms and even suites that were larger.
The Inn has a private pool by which they serve both breakfast and happy hour. The breakfasts were typical continental, with pastries, fruit, hard-​boiled eggs, maybe yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, etc. It was a perfect start to the day, especially when it was so warm – who wants to be all logy from a heavy meal while snorkeling?
They also have a great little «happy hour» sometime in the afternoon, maybe 4pm? They have a mixed drink of the day (daiquiri, margarita, etc.) and snacks! It seems everyone at the Inn shows up for this, and it is nice to mingle with all the guests. Something we realized during the first happy hour was that the average age of the guests is older than what we expected. This is fine by me – no drunken idiots puking in the pool or making noise all night. However, I would not recommend staying here if you are looking for a Girls Gone Wild situation. I think the wildest it would get would be if someone was swimming topless at night, which apparently is acceptable to the staff. Hey, it’s Key West.
There is no official Harbor Inn parking lot, and the street parking is first-​come, first-​served. If you find a parking space near the Inn, don’t drive anywhere! Squat, squat in that parking space like it’s your job!
