My husband, friends, and I had a lovely stay at Ridley House. Loved the historic charm and Key West vibe of the house. The A/C wasn’t working well in our room the first night of our stay, but they got it working the second day. The continental breakfast was fantastic, with lots of items to choose from. It’s also in a wonderful location… only two blocks from Duval and a short walk to Mallory Square. We would definitely stay here again and recommend Ridley House to others.

When you book with Expedia they charge you a fee. Then after you book the hotel sends you a email which states there is an amenity fee which they don’t tell you how much until you get there. It was $50 a night.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Things were very clean. We stayed in Room 6 that had a front balcony. Our first 30 minutes there we actually locked ourselves out on the balcony. 😜 Help was there swiftly. Be sure to use the lock latch to catch the door behind you. Otherwise it will lock you out. Bring ear plugs so the roosters don’t wake you at 4AM. Easy walk to anywhere on the island. We loved Fort Zachary Beach. Breakfast was served every morning as well.

The staff were AMAZING. Our room was beautifully decorated and clean with great air conditioning. The historic aspect of this house was architecturally stunning and was among others that lined to streets in Old Town, Key West. It was in walking distance to great restaurants, Mallory Square and an amazing sunset. My favorite part was the breakfast that was served each morning. It had five star quality buffet with several options to choose from. I would highly recommend staying at the Ridley House.

The location of the Ridley House is outstanding - a short walk to Duval Street and the city's best attractions. Unfortunately, that means roosters waking you up at 4 am after a night of fun downtown. The happy hour is a nice touch, and the breakfast spread is phenomenal. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are charming, and the beds are comfortable enough. But the bathrooms need redone and the grounds leave a lot to be desired. I stayed at a much more affordable property last year, equally close to Duval, and spent a lot of time relaxing by the pools because they were so inviting. Not so here. If this property were priced more reasonably, my expectations would've been less, but for the premium price we paid, we would've had a more relaxing experience staying in one of the larger hotels.

The Ridley is in a good location for access to all areas. We parked our car in a nearby parking lot for the 3 days we were there & walked everywhere. The best part about the Ridley was breakfast! Great options & the cook was a sweetheart. The room was okay but it needs attention. Both in upkeep & cleaning. The bathroom floors need a thorough bleaching! It was an okay stay. Probably would make accommodations elsewhere were we to return.

The location was great and the building was as old and charming on the outside, what I was looking for. We were on the top floor ( no elevator so don`t pack much!), the lower level rooms were likely quite noisy .
The AC did work and our room was cleaned well.
The overall upkeep of the building is not great, amenities are very limited ( as expedia VIP should get 25% off food and drinks, but there were only few bottle of sodas/ water available, no food).
The complimentary \"chef curated \" breakfast was definitely below expectations, this is a huge miss out for this size of an inn. The table not cleaned between guests etc.
Afternoon Sangria happy hour at the pool was a nice touch.

I acknowledge this is a historic building and it is limited to modern amenities which I knew when booking, I can even accept the rooms being small and even unleveled but the smell of mildew was unbearable. I tried spraying air purifiers but it did not help at all. The hotel should try to focus on that issue. Other than that the location was great and rooms were nice but the smell needs to be addressed.

Room was really nice, great location. But for the price? Not worth it. Very expensive. The breakfast is just okay if you like fruit, sliced meat and hard boiled eggs. Don’t expect any meats like bacon, or sausage etc. If you want an omelette it’s $16.00USD. The water filter station is only available when the kitchen is open, and don’t drink the bottled water in the room. It’s $5.00 each. The pool is very small, we didn’t even use it. We were in the top floor, and can hear everyone on the street, vehicles and airplanes all night. Parking is offsite at a community lot which is $40.00USD a day. Street parking is not overnight. For the price, I would look elsewhere.

This is a historic mansion so with that comes it's \"quirks\" - so going in I understood it's not going to be as maintained as a 4 or 5 star traditional hotel or resort. That said, it's beautiful and quaint, and the workers are so kind and helpful. For the price, it would have been nice to have at least 1 warm breakfast item included daily (eggs to order cost extra) but I did appreciate the breakfast bruchetta & salmon and all the fruit. The room was totally spacious and gorgeous. Overall we had a great stay.

We checked in and were given Room 14, and the condition was unacceptable from the start. The room was so humid that the bedding was damp, and there was a noticeable musty odor. After being out for the evening and returning later, the smell had intensified into a strong mold odor. It was so overwhelming that my husband couldn’t even sleep in the room and ended up sleeping outside by the pool.

The next morning, we reported the issue to staff and were told there were no other rooms available and that they “normally would offer an ionizer, but don’t have any.” That was already concerning, but things got worse. A quick online search showed multiple rooms available, so the claim that nothing else was open was simply not true. Later, when I sent a written message asking for confirmation that nothing would be done, a new room suddenly became “available.”

What made the situation even more troubling was what we found inside the room: multiple hidden odor-absorbing canisters tucked around the space. Clearly, the hotel knows this room has an ongoing mold problem but continues to rent it out for hundreds of dollars a night and then gaslights guests who raise concerns.

Between the uninhabitable room, the misleading information from staff, and the obvious attempts to mask a known issue, this was an extremely disappointing experience. Guests deserve honesty and safe accommodations, and sadly, that is not what we experienced here.

The location was very quiet and felt very safe. Walking distance to some great locations- The Bull on Duval 1 block, conch republic 2 blocks. They DID offer onsite moped parking in the employee parking spot. We had called ahead and were told there was no moped parking close. Also, the held our bags for us before check in. The breakfast staff was incredible. Front desk Craig was a bit inhospitable, especially when it came to the free sangria hour. My husband walked over to get a drink a few minutes before they stopped and Craig cut him off and said NO, and took the pictures. His character seemed very brass and un-relatable no matter how hard we tried.
