10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was fabulous. Probably one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. Thank you. If I had to say anything negative at all, it would be about the parking. We did find parking with a block or two, but realized we needed to walk when we could. I realize this is not "The Inns" fault, but some designated parking would have been convenient. All in all our stay was delightful and yes we would definitely choose the Inn on Frances again. Loved the Keys and Key West.

Very clean. Good location. Overpriced though I understand the business model. Once reservations have been made, no changes allowed so be careful about that.

Great place to stay in Key West. Would definitely book again.
Marius, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was nicely furnished, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Very peaceful. Prooerty is about .6 miles from the center of old Key West and the nightlife. It's an easy walk from the property, and we appreciated being able to have a quiet place to rest and sleep.

Good location

The Porch is a well taken care of property and the location is good. It was easy to get around Old Key West for the location. The room was small and the bathroom was small but everything was updated and very clean. The person running the Porch was very nice and very helpful.

Steep stairs

The second level requires climbing steep stairs with suitcases. The hotel is very clean and manager saved parking place for me. Friendly staff.

Very friendly and helpful host Louise. Perfect advance infos how to get into the house. Nice and very clean and spacious room (we had #3). All in all we where very happy with our choice. Only negative point would be the noise from the street. House lies direct on a street crossing.
