Old Town Manor

When I was planning for this three day trip to Key West, I was looking for a hotel that’s not just pet-​friendly, but also close to all the actions on Duval Street. So I started doing some reach and found this bed & breakfast place. I like this location because it’s only one block away from Duval Street, and they are extremely pet-​friendly. Some hotels requires a large amount of pet deposits, which could cost as much as the room. Some places do not allow you to leave your pets in the hotel room alone. And even if some places allow you to leave your pets in the rooms alone, you have to leave your pets in crates. Of course we are not willing to do that. But this place is very flexible. Not only we can leave our dogs in the rooms alone, which we probably wouldn’t do anyway, but we don’t have to put them in crates. Since the prices of their rooms are still competitive with the surrounding hotels, I booked it immediately.
When I first pull my car in front of the hotel, I was immediately impressive of this place. I love the building because it has a lot of history, but inside the hotel it has been completely remodeled. The reception area looked stunning. I love the color of the walls in the lobby, a very light and refreshing green. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. He showed me to our room and also gave me a little guide on the surrounding area.
When we walked the room, we were really pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and clean. It’s got two large queen beds with pretty modern bathroom. We have a nice patio with some a table and chairs outside our room which looks very nice too. Too bad the weather was pretty hot and steamy when we were there, otherwise I see ourselves sitting in the patio enjoying a couple of adult beverages.
And our doggies loved the room. When they got off the stroller, they started running around the room and exploring the new home for the next two days. They seems to enjoy the bed because once we placed them on the bed, they didn’t seem wanted to be taken down… LOL!
Overall, our two nights stay was very enjoyable. The room was very comfortable and clean. It’s only one block off Duval so all the bars and restaurants are within walking distances. We’ll definitely come back here again the next time we’re in the Keys.

We had a wonderful time here. The B&B is quiet but just a half-​block off Duval Street. The bed was comfortable and the room cosy. Breakfast is in a beautiful enclosed garden and was delicious. The people were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We couldn’t ask for more!

Loved this place! We were in the «Lime Tree Room» which you find aptly named once you walk into the bathroom (I won’t spoil the surprise here).
Right off Duval so it was walking distance to everything. Loved sitting on the porch on the rocking chairs people watching.
Bed was comfy, and breakfast was really yummy. Bath products (soap, shampoos, etc) smelled amazing.
Was a great price for a last-​minute booking too (we booked a few hours before our arrival). Definitely would stay again.
Bonus (or not, depending on how you feel about this sort of thing): My fiancé says he felt like something jabbed/​punched him in the back when he was sleeping. It woke him up. It wasn’t me – I was way over on the other side of the king bed. Turns out others have reported haunting type experiences in this house, especially in the «Examining Room» (this used to be the home of a doctor).

Lovely retreat with extremely kind staff and perfect location!
See you soon HAYTHAM!

Our stay at Old Town Manor was great. The location is unbeatable, the staff was as friendly and helpful as one could hope, the property is beautiful, the included breakfast was a perfect way to start each day, and our room (the Saratoga Room) was perfect for our needs and quite spacious by Key West standards.
We have been visiting Key West 2−3x/year for the past several years and Old Town Manor is the best place we have stayed. The fact that they’re pet-​friendly is icing on the cake.

Loved our stay at Old Town Manor. Great location, great breakfast, and nice & clean place!

This place was amazing! It was so cute and close to all the entertainment. The staff was courteous and really nice. We arrived after they closed so they left everything for us with instructions in the mailbox on the porch. The only complaints we had was the a/​c in our room never seemed to get colder and then we had to park on the street. However, since we were told we’d have parking before we got there and then didn’t once we arrived, they upgraded our room for us. All in all it was a nice stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Had a great time at Old Time Manor! They were welcoming and helpful for recommendations for restaurants/​things to do. The accommodations were perfect. It was nice to have a balcony to sit on at the beginning and end of the day. The location cannot be beat for accessibility to Duval street. The only thing that wasn’t desirable was the windows did not open but that was minor. It was very quiet and the bed was great. The environmental practices are great. It was nice to always have cucumber infused water coming in from a hot day. Also, the easy parking that you can pay for by day in their driveway for $ 25 per day.

Beautiful little hotel, nice clean rooms, professional helpful staff, and a nice breakfast on the patio. Great location as well. Would stay there again.

Dem Alltag entfliehen, der Hecktick und all dem Stress entkommen, das kann man hier! Die wunderbare Atmosphäre und die freundlichen Besitzer bieten jedem, der hier verweilt einen ganz besonderen Moment der Entspannung!
Das sehr gepflegte und liebevoll eingerichtete Haus, der schattige Garten, die kleinen Blickfänge– all dies zaubert dir ein Lächeln ins Gesicht.
Mitten in der Altstadt von Key West, im Zentrum aller Sehenswürdigkeiten und dem berühmten Sonnenuntergang so nah, ist hier die Oase der Ruhe.

Charming historic home in a perfect location in Old Town Key West. The stafff was friendly and helpful. At least three dogs are part of the «staff,» which made us feel right at home and a part of the family. Our room was spacious and nicely furnished with lovely antiques. The balconies and courtyard offer restful spots for reading, writing and soaking in the Key West morning.
The only reason I’m giving four instead of five stars is that Old Town Manor kinda forgot about the breakfast part of «Bed and Breakfast.» Yes, there was food, but the offerings were limited to bagels, pastries, some fruit, and hard-​boiled eggs (served cold). The morning grub may have left much to be desired (I could smell bacon and pancakes cooking at other nearby houses), but the breakfast staff (Sam and her canine greeter, Chance) could not have been more charming,
Even without a real breakfast, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again at Old Town Manor on our next trip to Key West.

We recently stayed at this Bed & Breakfast for 3 nights and came away impressed. The building is an old Key West style home that has been converted to a B&B. It is located one block off of Duval street on Eaton so you can pretty much walk to any restaurant or bar on Duval.
The rooms are a little dated but it fits the décor of the venue. I will say definitely stay on the second floor if you have a choice — our friends stayed on the first and they heard their neighbors above «having a dance party»
Since this is a B&B they served complimentary breakfast each morning in the patio. It was not a full-​on breakfast buffet but I would say it was several steps up from a continental breakfast. It was definitely nice to have this set up every AM.
There is a pool available at one of the sister properties just a couple of blocks away. Since it was kind of cold we didn’t check it out.
What really sets this place apart is the service. From a couple of weeks out we started receiving emails from the friendly staff offering to help set up tours, etc. Once we arrived we were blown away by how friendly and attentive the staff was. Al carried our luggage to our room and even arranged for us to rent bikes that were delivered to the B&B. Sam from Australia was one of the nicest people I have met and she was happy to provide advice and engage in friendly conversation. She also hooked us up with beach towels to take to the pool party at Dante’s.
Overall this was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about going to Key West.

Old Town Manor was the perfect setting for our wedding. We rented the entire building and used the grounds for two nights worth of events.
The staff was amazing. All of our guests needs were met in a friendly and efficient way. Even the furry staff members were friendly.
Nicole the events planner was wonderful. She was able to help me from 3,000 miles away.
Old town manor feels like home. I can’t wait to return.

Reviews are not only about the property itself and the visit, it’s about how you are treated prior to your visit. I reserved a room more than 3 months out — canceled more than 60 days out. First, they said they would not refund the over $ 100 deposit at all but after checking their site and seeing (small print) that they cancelation fees even for those done 60 days ($ 50) before I was pretty stunned. They agreed to revise to $ 50. I requested a full refund but no reply. I travel a LOT … I’ve never had this happen. I know they will rebook that room (November … Sunday)… I think their choice of customer service is a bad one and has certainly given me a bad taste … which I can easily will pass along. So for $ 50 they choose to loose business, mine and everyone I tell. Bad choice, makes you wonder where else they are scrimping and what kind of people run this place? Watch out for these guys… with this attitude I’d presume that they nickel and dime you to death while you’re there.

We had our wedding reception at OTM. I can’t say enough about how fantastic it was.
Here are a few key points :)
*We rented out the entire property and got a great deal.
*Nicole was superb! Seriously– whatever she’s paid it isn’t enough. Very attentive, kind, funny, helpful,… the list goes on… we love her!
*One block off Duval, so our guest walked to the bars after our reception. (and its NOT noisy)
*Nice breakfast, very homey and a good money saver
*Parking was close and easy
Highly recommend staying here! They made our wedding dreams come true.

The Old Town Manor (OTM) is such an awesome place to stay. The hotel is less than a half block from all the action on Duval. I had friends staying here for the first time– and they now see why I’m in love with the OTM! Hatham was so helpful and couldn’t have been nicer. The breakfast was amazing!!! The room was perfect, and I LOVED my welcome gift!!!
My friends and I have already booked for next years Fantasy Fest. Cant wait till next year!!!

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and loved it. It is half a block to Duval Street, but in general, was very quiet. Our room (#3) was very clean and nice. We enjoyed the courtyard area in back frequently — its a great place to sit, chat, read, etc. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful with everything we asked of them.
The only reason that I didn’t give a 5 star rating is the breakfast. It is a continental style, with breads, cold quiche, hardboiled eggs, etc. The breakfast was not managed well, and frequently, they would be out coffee, or yogurt, etc. I would have preferred an option for a heartier, and warm, breakfast.

Looked up a lot of different hotels, B & B in Key West, and for price, location, this seemed the best. We weren’t disappointed. We stayed in Key West for 4 nights. One of the main things we wanted to do was dive while we were down there. The dive shop we were going to use recommended this place because it was nice and close by. I booked late though, and was able to find rooms with old Town Manor all 4 nights in different rooms. When we got down, i asked if any other rooms were available longer, and they moved us into Villa Grande. This was the 1^st floor of a 2 floor condo/​unit with 1 bedroom, full kitchen, living area and 2 porches. We were able to stay in this room for 1^st three nights without moving. This was a relief, especially since it includes a parking space. Room was really nice, only ½ block off Duval (still quiet), and had direct access to small pool. 4^th night was in Old Town Manor, which is the B&B that owns the other property. We were originally booked for a small queen sized room, but I asked if there were any other rooms avaiable. Again, they were able to move us, thus time to the «Sunset» room. Great room with private entrance and 2 private balconies. Again, close to Duval, Mallory square and harbor. Good sized breakfast included. All in all, great rooms, great location, great staff for pretty good rates.

We were in town for a wedding and had a very nice stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful when we needed it.
The first couple nights we stayed in the Sunset room and it was fun. A really different room than we were used to but we were barely in the room so it was fine. The last night we stayed in the Carrige house and it was just as nice.
The breakfast was a good start to the day. Nothing heavy or too filling which is nice when you are eating out every other meal typically.
If we come back we will be staying here again.

I know that Key West has a ‘shabby chic’ vibe, and expect that fact whenever I visit. However, the Old Town Manor gave me much more shabby than chic. Normally, I stay at Alexander’s, and perhaps have become spoiled by the level of attention to interior design, overall cleanliness, and setting there. Here’s the bottom line:
— You’re close to Duval. Very close! Convenient and NOISY!
— There is no ‘cocktail hour’ at the property, so you never meet anyone at the inn with you. In the past, I’ve found this to be a nice way to make new friends and get an evening started.
— Breakfast was ok. Just ok. Mainly cakes, breads, and some fruit.
— Our room (The Lime Tree) needs a real refresh. No desk. No chair. Rugs in the bathroom were grungy. The lime tree in the bathroom sounds better than it is, as it makes navigating the toilet a challenge and the bathroom feel a bit dirty. Plus, why are there two sinks so close together leaving no room on the vanity? The space isn’t big enough for two people to work simultaneously. The private porch backs up to the parking lot of Wendy’s on Duval, and is a hang out for drunks. Charming.
Yes, we should have known that being so close to Duval would be a problem. However, the website pics and reviews led us to believe we had found a perfect place. We’ll keep looking, and were tempted to move. However, we weren’t there for the accommodations, but rather to be with friends in Key West. We stuck it out. Next time, we’ll know better.

This time I had to stay at the old town manor’s other property called te rose lane villas and was a fabulous stay.
