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!

Definitely going back. Perfect home away from home
I loved my stay at Ella's. I was solo and stayed in the City King. The room would be tight for two people, but for one, it's perfect. No dresser, no desk, but a chair and a bench and a hanging rack. Breakfast each day was lovely, enjoyed poolside, or in the dining room. Fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, lox. Tea time was also a nice touch. Pool area was great, plenty of shade. A/C and fans made the room comfortable. Robe was lightweight. Nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion--no need to back those. An easy one block walk off of Duval.

Wonderful Oasis
Everything about our stay was fabulous! The property is charming and welcoming. Our room was spacious and stayed blessedly cool the whole time. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was lovely and the afternoon tea was a perfect midday break from the heat. The location was perfect-central to everything and just a block from Duval, but somehow still felt quiet and secluded. We hated to leave after 4 wonderful nights. We will absolutely stay here again when we return to Key West!
