We stayed at Ella’s Cottages over Thanksgiving. We enjoyed our stay here. Their daily breakfast brought to you in a basket was a great way to start the day. The staff was super friendly. The pool area was nice and relaxing. The rooms were clean, bathroom were a little small, could have used more shelf space for your toiletries. Ella’s is a great location for walking to all your favorite locations. We would definitely stay here again.

The location is perfect. The walls are a little thin and as others have said the pool is rather comical, but the breakfast baskets and friendliness of the staff more than make up!!!!! The pool -for adults- is actually perfect, a place to sit and cool off and also perfect for little wee ones, but may be disappointing for more active children. The room has a refrigerator, which is an added bonus for us, but really the breakfast basket with all its goodies will keep us coming back! What a marvelous way to start your day!

We have stayed at this property several other times when it was Kimpton. There were noticeable declines in the overall condition. The room smelled extremely heavily of carpet deodorizer upon entry to room 12. Condition and cleanliness were average. I must say that the gentleman at the desk was very polite and helpful. No complaints there. Overnight we had a very sizeable cockroach in the bathroom and another in the morning. We talked with the front desk. Long and short of it they comp’ed our parking/resort fee. But needless to say we won’t be returning to our once favored hotel. Period. Very disappointing stay.

Ella’s Cottages in Key West was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. Dwight and Mike, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable—they even provided us with a complimentary upgrade to our room once they learned it was a milestone celebration! Dwight’s warm smile truly brightened our day every time we saw him, adding such a positive and personal touch to our experience. The accommodations were simply lovely, beautifully decorated, cozy, and comfortable, providing a true island feel that was both relaxing and charming. Each morning, we looked forward to the wonderful continental breakfast delivered right to our door in an adorable basket. The selection was delicious, with a variety of baked goods, egg bites, yogurt, and fresh fruit—perfect for starting the day. The atmosphere around the pool was laid-back and chill, making it an ideal spot for our group of friends to gather, unwind, and soak up the beautiful weather. Merlin’s Tea at 3pm each day was a nice treat, as well! I couldn’t imagine a better place to spend this special occasion. Ella’s Cottages truly made our trip to Key West memorable!

We absolutely love Ella’s Cottages. Micheal at the front desk was very helpful before we arrived with great directions and convenient parking arrangements. That made our check in a simple breeze. The accommodations were beautiful. The bathroom was wonderful as was the spacious bedroom, comfortable bed and the relaxing living room. The breakfast area was terrific and full of health options and exactly what we had hoped for. Late afternoon tea was a joy including the scrumptious biscotti! Dwight and cottage staff were cordial and friendly and we will be back next year and even hope to visit again mid season for a weekend. Thank you!
