The Best Place to stay in Key West, Florida

When planning a trip to Key West, the place you choose to stay can enhance your trip or make it more challenging.  I will give you the tips you will need, to choose the best place for you.  It all depends on what you plan to do while in town.

  If you want to take advantage of our downtown area including Mallory Square, Sloppy Joe's, Duval Street, The Southern Most Point, or any of our numerous museums, entertainment,  restaurants and bars, I highly recommend staying at a location in Old Town. This is not because you just want to be close, this is because you will want to be within walking distance. 

Parking is very challenging downtown.  It can be hard to find a space and if you do, it'll cost you.  I enjoy finding a place to stay in Old Town (within a few blocks of Duval), so I can leave my car at the hotel and walk to everywhere I want to go. The best way that I have found to narrow my search by proximity to Duval, is by simply Google searching "Hotels in Key West". The search results will include a map of Key West with price tags of all the hotels on the island. I zoom into the area around Duval St (left side of map) 

 and sift through my choices looking at price, ratings and proximity to my favorite attractions (Like Angelina's Pizza at Rick's).  

Even though staying downtown is clutch for parking and convenience reasons, if you find a great deal on a hotel on the other side of the island, or maybe you'd rather sleep further away from the nightlife, there's still hope for getting downtown. You can take your chances with parking, or you can rent bikes, mopeds or call an Uber, which are all great options too.  

I hope these tips help. This is my first post, so keep checking back for upcoming articles that will cover more topics and eventually narrow down choices to the best that Key West and the Florida Keys has to offer. Thank you!
