It was such a beautiful place to stay & although I didn’t use all the amenities offered; I was greatly pleased at everything Authors of Key West had to offer. Management and staff were amazing & provided such a seamless process and relaxing time. The rooms were clean and made sure to smell good. Walking onto the property every time felt like dream with how well-maintained and organized everything is/was.

Room was very clean. A/C was cold which was great since the real feel outside was 105. Staff was helpful with where to park. Breakfast was nice. It included fruit, danish, bagels, cereal, granola bars, coffee and tea. Enjoyed our stay and it was within walking distance to the Yankee Freedom that we took to Dry Tortugas National Park.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It did not disappoint. We actually stayed in the same room as before. They have added more outside seating. A nice selection of pastries and cereal and coffee and tea at the continental breakfast. We found parking on the residential street outside the property. We will stay again.

Quiet and safe property. Cole A/C in rooms. The ice and water station is at the outdoor patio and has the good ice!!! Front desk closes early so be sure to plan for that. Free breakfast has a good offering and serves the local and delicious Cuban Coffee Queen coffee. Room had a mini fridge but no microwave or way to heat up food after the lobby was closed. Would stay again!!

Gorgeous, outstanding room and bed. Wow we were amazed. Loved our stay. Unfortunately they cannot accommodate late check outs but did well on accommodating late check-ins. Easy process. Great continental breakfast with proteins. Beautiful beautiful. Little bit of a walk to attractions. Thankfully I carried an umbrella!!
