This is a very nice motel. Friendly staff, very clean and remodeled rooms.
I do have a couple negatives:
1) the pool: it is still being remodeled and that should have been advertised! Apparently they just filled it with water the last couple days, but there is still construction. And with the beaches not being swim beaches that much, that was a big disappointment.
2) “Night life”: some fellow neighbors decided to have some loud conversations and smoking weed. We could smell it through the windows that are still the very old tilt glass windows.
They did lower their voices after asking them. But later there were more doing the same two things.
3) The coffee creamer is old or simply got hard due to the humidity?!? Never had that in any other motel so far.
4) the lights at night being on in front of the rooms. That is definitely great for people being outside when it’s dark. But if you like sleeping in the dark, that is not happening. Even with the blinds down as they are only paper blinds.
Other than that, it was a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend this motel to others!

My mother and I stayed for a night and it was pleasant. Staff was friendly when I checked in and checked out of the room we were staying at and very quick, happy to help. The motel itself seemed to be undergoing renovations during my stay, but everything was still very clean, quiet, and peaceful. Their parking lot is very small, but there’s parking in the area that is still close by and they give you a little slip to put on your dash if you can’t park in their designated area. There are also quite a few things to do in the area that are walking distance. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the keys just for a short weekend.

Loved the close proximity to walk to the popular Duvall street for shopping and dining. The bathroom was huge!! Upgraded bathroom fixtures and tile. Great water pressure. Adjustable temperature A/C unit which was cold that I chose to turn up. Comfortable plush mattress, though the bed squeaked a little bit getting in and out. The hotel is putting in a small pool in their courtyard which will improve the look of the hotel. I traveled far from West Palm to Key West so I ended up staying 2 nights at Seashell. On my first day I went to Fort Zachary and loved the location of the park grounds and beautiful beach cove. Had fun swimming in the clear warm water! Popular for snorkeling and there are rock clusters in the water to climb on.which is a short swim.
Make sure you walk around the fort on your visit which is adjacent to the beach. What great history it holds. I actually googled the purpose of this fort which is super interesting. After leaving Fort Zachary, I decided to drive by Smathers and Higgs beaches to compare. For me, there’s no question….if you want to have a great beach day with family in a beautiful setting, go to Fort Zachary. The 2 other beaches are not scenic and are right off the main street. Water is murky and for me (kind of a beach snob) I would not go to these beaches. A great visit to Key West. Next time, I’d like to take more time on visiting the beaches & state parks along the way to KW. Enjoy!

Amazingly nice woman from Ohio checked us in and really set a wonderful tone. The room was updated and perfectly comfortable. Bathroom was updated and fantastic esoecially the shower. Nice beds and pillows as well. Would absolutely stay here again. Don't judge it by its cover since the outside is under renovation. Walkable to all of the things you want to do. Also free parking. 5 stars.

Unexpectedly cute little place, perfect for us that travel on motorcycles. Freshly renovated rooms that are like brand new. Very chill vibe with table and chairs throughout to relax outside. The only downside is the maid service and other patrons were up and about making quite a bit of noise starting at 7 am, often right outside our door. A little annoyance after a late night but not the end of the world it is after all paradise. Just chill out and roll on.

The room looked recently remodeled and was very clean. The bed was very comfortable with many pillows and comfy linen. The refrigerator was very cold and the AC kept the room very cold and was a nice reprieve from the heat. The outside is very deceptive because it looks a little run down but the room was very nice. It was also very close to the shops and beaches. I would definitely stay here again.

I booked this hotel as a budget for one night. We got there early thinking we would relax by the pool in the cute little courtyard. No pool no courtyard. Not even a place to sit outside. No chairs in the room. Way to loud. Have to say the staff was nice. I would have gladly paid more for a pool or even just table and chairs outside. Don't be fooled by the pictures

Location! Location! Location!
Seashell was a best-kept secret. It was a great deal for being so walkably close to downtown Key West and, to be honest, it looked a bit sketch from the street (faded paint and sign, construction company sign on a building, signs of construction) but the guy checking us in was cool and our hidden-away was unexpectedly absolutely amazing! Spacious, very comfortable and recently completely renovated. It was an oasis, and the shower was terrific! Such a pleasant surprise. Manager ensured we had a parking spot and we just left car there for the duration of our stay.
Super walkable neighborhood, with a beach, snack bars, convenience store within 3-4 blocks and swanky restaurants just beyond.
Negatives: No ice available; had to buy a full bag at said convenience store. Bikes outside are not a hotel amenity and must be rented from a vendor.
All in all, though, loved this place!

The room was very small but clean. It is a cutely remodeled room in a very old beat up motel. There are no amenities whatsoever, and there is a lot of traffic noise from the road. The walls are paper thin, so you will hear your neighbors all night. But it is also the cheapest place in Key West and within walking distance from everything you want to see. Bottom line: budget friendly but not very nice.

Nice big room. Great air conditioner... Great bed, sink, bathroom, and shower. And great location.

Some of the lamp outlets/ USB ports didn't work. Whatever, not really an issue.

Parking lot filled up quick but there was ample parking on the street (Sunday/Monday)

Friendly guy at check-in.

Excellent!

Check in was great and friendly. Walking distance to the beach. Air conditioning froze out my husband. Hotel was under construction but still very clean and kept. Would definitely stay again.

The room was nice and big. There were a living room and kitchen. It was very nice and clean. The staff is also great. I accidently forgot my earnings, they called and inform me and had it at the front desk for me when I went to pick it up. Would definitely recommend.

up against neighbors parking lot. the only truck there over night parks as close to the motel as possible. the bushes are overgrown and there is no room to get to your room. i broke my bike mirror squeezing through. if they trim the bushes way back it will be fine

Es un hotel que está en proceso de renovación, por fuera se ve no muy bien, pero las habitaciones y la limpieza que encuentras adentro es impresionante.

En mi próximo viaje lo volvería a reservar sin lugar a dudas

The location is great and room was updated and clean. Hotel is VERY much under construction, so there will be saw noise throughout the day.

The room was clean, looked good and was spacious. The door howevr was glass and had some kind of bamboo cover that did not cover anything and people could see straight inside if we had the lights on. The main entrance is under construction so we had to walk through gravel to get in which was okaybut someone who needs a flat ground would struggle. Check in experience was easy and staff was pleasant and helpful.

Don’t let the construction on the outside fool you, the rooms are nice. My room was recently redone to include a brand new tile bathroom that is nicer than mine at home. Fresh paint, new lg flat screen tv, comfy beds, new flooring, and plenty of space to move around.
The pool was under construction but I knew that ahead of time because it was posted online when I booked.
The family owners were very friendly and let me borrow some things I had forgotten to pack. Location is excellent, hotel is well lit on the exterior. The doors open to the outside but I never felt unsafe. I would definitely stay here again. It’s not fancy with expensive art work and water features, but the location can’t be beat and it’s spotless.

Room was clean but small, recently nicely updated. Windows were still the old jalousie type and did not close properly, entry door had big gaps all around, big enough for critters to get thru. Entire property was a construction site. Workers showed up at 8.00 am. Hotel location is good. Clarence Higgs beach is not far. Once the construction is finished we would consider booking here again.

The pics for the hotel definitely didn't reflect it truly. My room was lovely, large, lots of storage etc, but zero soundproofing, so when people were talking outside, it sounded like they were in the room. But the cleanliness was brilliant Sadly, my friends were in a different room, which we had requested near the car park for mobility reasons. Initially it looked lovely, but the fold down seat in the shower for a mobility aid was loose, causing my friend to slip off it, onto the shower floor. They also had problems with the noise levels, not entirely the hotels fault, but again, lack of soundproofing meant a sleepless night, as some other people, presumably guests, were outside at 4am having a big argument, they were asked to please be quiet, but just ignored my friend and carried on arguing, finally they went inside at 5am, promptly to turn the TV on full volume, which was so loud my friends may as well have been sharing that room with their neighbours. They are clearly in the process of renovating, with a half built poor and heaps of rubble on one side of the hotel. Overall, not the best experience, cleanliness great, rooms size wise not bad, but the damaged disability seat in the shower and the lack of any form of soundproofing ruined it. The reception guy who was on duty when we arrived was very helpful though, just a shame about the other stuff.

The room was clean and appeared to have been recently updated. Very nice. There was construction in the pool area, which would have neen nice to know prior to booking. They were renovating other rooms as early as 7am and worked on them as late as 10pm. A little annoying. Overall is was still a good deal.

The property is under construction and had some issues related to that. Rooms were recently remodeled but the windows were not and they leak air and allowed a lot of noise and light to enter the room. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Shower took a while to heat up and it was difficult to adjust.
