I recently enjoyed my stay at Chelsea House Hotel and found it to be a charming hotel with lush landscaping and a beautifully inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and responsive, making my experience more enjoyable overall. However, I did face some challenges with noise from the nearby area and a few maintenance concerns that detracted from my stay.

While the pools were nice and not overly crowded, I found them to be on the smaller side. The bar had a cute setup but could have benefited from staying open later.

The complimentary breakfast was a nice way to start my day, though a wish for cold creamer instead of the individual packets is all I have to say. With so many great restaurants nearby, it was easy to find plenty of dining options.

I loved the well-maintained pools and lush gardens that created a serene environment. The hotel also had an established relationship with a bike rental shop, which made getting around easier and more fun. It felt like a great little oasis.

My stay at Chelsea House Hotel had its ups and downs. The beautiful hotel and multiple pools were highlights, but my assigned room left much to be desired due to its cramped size and limited storage. Although the staff was attentive and the grounds were stunning, it felt like a letdown compared to other couples’ experiences in larger rooms.
Rooms

I was given Bungalow 53, which was incredibly small with almost no storage space. There were no closets, and I struggled to fit my items as the bathroom was even tighter, lacking adequate space for toiletries. It was disappointing, especially since other couples had more spacious rooms.

The hotel featured three beautiful pools, with the heated one near the main reception being my favorite. The lush landscaping created a lovely atmosphere to relax by the pool.

I really loved my stay at Chelsea House Hotel - Key West, mainly for its awesome staff and prime location. The room was a bit small and lacked a closet and safe, which made things a little cramped. Also, the breakfast service could definitely use a revamp—waiting in line for coffee wasn't ideal. Still, I'd consider coming back for the great service and charm that this place offers.
