We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ella's Cottages. The location was great, walkable to everything but quiet at night. The breakfast basket delivered each morning was wonderful, with the best overnight oats. The room was spacious and very clean. It had everything we needed. We can't wait to Ella's Cottages on our next visit.

Great place to stay. Location is perfect. Rooms & Beds were lovely. Lovely breakfast basket delivered to the room each morning. Own table & chairs to sit & have breakfast under the veranda. Staff super friendly & helpful. Will stay again if we’re lucky enough to return to Key West.

Great place to stay for people who are coming to Key West to endorse Old Town Key West. Nice rooms that are well appointed and clean. Very historic design that has been modernized for easy stay. One word of caution… make sure to understand the extra charges that are applied for room stays - they are not fully transparent so you may feel like they are nickel and diming you which can be frustrating from a customer service point of view. The pool is a nice amenity with towel service at no charge. Easy walk to Duval street. The bus stop is near the front of the inn so that makes it easy if you don’t want to walk. Parking for our golf cart was $30 per day so be aware of that fee. Breakfast is brought to room each day at a charge. It’s a nice breakfast and one basket can easily last 2 days. The hotel staff is very nice and we found them to bed helpful in planning dinners and excursions. We will stay at Ella’s again the charm and friendly staff out weighs the hidden charges.

If you saw this listing on Airbnb and the host is "Florida Stays", do yourself a favor and stay away from their listings. They have 5 different locations in Key West. I initially booked the location at 1030 Eaton Street. If you arrive past 5 pm, you will have to call/text the number on their door and wait for someone to come and check you in. The nightmare started during check in when the desk person told us we had to pay an extra $50 for hotel amenities fee that was not listed on the original Airbnb listing. I of course didn't agree because I felt they were not transparent and should have mentioned that in the listing. The reservation was cancelled and I was left scrambling to find another stay for the night. Eventually found another Airbnb listing "Ellas Cottages" and walked in to find out that it is owned by the same owner "Florida Stays". At this point, I was exhausted from the travels and bit the bullet to stay. Of course, there is an extra hotel amenities fee that I had to pay and there is ANOTHER fee for just parking at the hotel as a guest of $40, not $30 like is listed on the Airbnb site to this day. The room is small, no fridge, and the bathroom is tiny. When you sit on the toilet your face is a foot away from the wall. The breakfast is brought to you in a basket and includes little snacks and a choice of bagel or croissant. There is no breakfast room/buffet. I will say that the pool area is nice if you plan on spending your vacation at hotel. PLEASE save your money and find another hotel/Airbnb that is transparent and honest with their fees.
