Our Review

The Key Lodge Inn made our list of lodgings to avoid, and it is quite a shame. At the time of interview, the owner had recently passed.

The assistant manager was the only person manning the property, and despite many years of faithful service, did not feel herself qualified to be interviewed.

This makes the Key Lodge Inn an unknown, and we will not recommend a property without solid first hand information.

Unlike all the other sites about Key West lodging, we do not try to make every property look good. It is not truthful, and it does nothing to help readers make informed decisions... but we at least need to be able to write from a position of authority. No info, no recommendations.

To be fair, there is probably nothing at all wrong with the Key Lodge Inn, it looks from the outside like a well-restored, well-maintained motel with a great retro motif.

It is not the 'lush tropical garden' they as try to portray themselves in their literature. It is confusing that they felt compelled to take that tact. They did not need to, an accurate description would do just fine, the Key Lodge Inn looked good as it was.

Another cause for pause is the lack of customer reviews.

An excellent alternative (literally within throwing distance) is the Almond Tree Inn (link).
