After a lot of research, we booked the Chelsea House for our week long Key West vacation. We based our decision on other reviews and price. It didn't work out...the check-in process was easy and the staff was very friendly. Our room, however, was too, too, too, too small. There was barely enough room to walk around the queen size... more

We stayed at the Chelsea last year. Thought I would contribute about our stay. We were given the room directly in the front of the house ... off the porch. Seems to me it used to be a dining room?!? turned hotel room. Very basic accomodations, little run down and no frills. Bed a little old and creeky, hard. Nothing... more

I have read a lot of the reviews posted on this site and I wanted to tell about our experience. We found the staff to be very nice and helpful, too. We were shown our room before the purchase (we did not have reservations and we had our dog) and I was surprised at the size and cleanliness of the... more

We had written a negative review of the hotel! Fought with our credit card company to delete the charge to no avail. Visa/ AE will protect you! My discussions had been with the on site manager. Before going to the BBB called hotel one more time to resolve problem! Ended up with the General Manger of Historical Inns and he... more

Ideally located as it is very close to Duval street and the sunset pier being in walking distance (15-20 minutes). Parking is not a problem. Rooms however are rather small. Very friendly and helpful staff at reception. A special of this hotel: Breakfast is outdoor at the (small) pool! more

The Good: Clean, larger rooms in the main (historic) part of the house are nice. The Bad: The Inn has tried to capitalize on high demand during high season by expanding the historic part of the house with cheap, very small add-on rooms. If you get one of the larger, historic rooms they are very nice. But the newer rooms... more

It was ok for the money: everything was clean, the location is pretty good and our room had a nice little veranda. It needed it though because the room was small to say the least: when you weren't banging your knees getting out of bed you were being wedged between the vanity mirror and the toilet trying to turn around... more

I read some of the reviews here and was kind of reluctant to book a room here, but I'm glad I did. I picked it because they offer free on-site parking combined with its proximity to Duval Street and most of the island's attractions. Its also very easy to find because it's on U.S. 1. Though the price for a... more

We stayed at the Chelsea House on our honeymoon. They upgraded us to a larger room at no charge which was much appreciated as the initial room we booked was very small. We feel we got a very good value for our money and plan to return in the future. The grounds were very pretty, parking was more then adequate.... more
