Key West lodging includes both luxury and cheap places for you, along with a selection of places in between those two ends of the spectrum. Key West is a tourist destination and all rooms are priced accordingly. The most expensive time is from Christmas to Easter.

You'll find a few Key West hotels and resorts with one hundred rooms or more. These large (by Key West standards) properties have beach front properties, fine swimming pools and spas, and restaurants onsite. The biggest is the Casa Marina Resort, with about 300 suites and rooms. National names such as Westin, Sheraton, Hyatt and Doubletree are available.

You will find a few hotels with under one hundred rooms. They provide several but not all of the things you would see at the larger properties. With two such properties, Hyatt is number one in that department.

There are some wonderful Key West hotels with fewer than fifty guest rooms. These are such places as the Marquesa Hotel, the Gardens Hotel, the Sunset Key Guest Cottages and the Santa Maria Suites. You should find one worth a visit.

Key West has most national hotel brand names present and some of them are not as pricey as the luxury brands. You will find Courtyard, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Best Western, Days Inn, Travelodge and others.

Key West has a few small independent hotels and motels without a national brand affiliation. These places set and maintain their own standards, which may be below yours. They may be satisfactory. I've never been in one, so I can't recommend any. You may be able to find good value.

There are many Key West bed and breakfast houses. Your room rate includes a breakfast, either continental or full. The place has fewer rooms than a hotel. You may get a private bath or you might share a bathroom with other guests. An owner or manager will live onsite for personal service.

The Key West Youth Hostel is alone in its category. You'll find the cheapest rates in town. You will receive a bed in a large room and access to a common bathroom and kitchen. If it matters, be advised that no alcoholic beverages are allowed.
