Very disappointed with my experience. The room I booked was under construction and I was not informed until I arrived. I was not giving the option to cancel and would never have chosen this hotel based on the room I stayed in. I felt like my concerns were completely dismissed. I would not recommend visiting this hotel based on how I was treated. read more

We were walking by the Marrero Mansion and stopped to admire it. We walked up the stairs to the porch and the owner came out to welcome us. We had a lovely chat with her about Key West and she invited us in for a tour. We were beyond excited to see the beautiful and elegant historic mansion that had been converted into a Bed and Breakfast that was built in 1890-91 by Frederico Marrero, a cigar maker in Key West. They have a heated pool that is open 24/7 for their guests and are just a half block from the popular Duval Street. They offer a sumptious breakfast from 8:30-10:00am and a Happy Hour from 3:30-4:30 pm. The bedrooms are so clean and exquisitely decorated with furniture to match the late 1800s. I fell in love with it and want to stay here on our next trip to Key West! It's fantastic! read more

Booked this B&B in the center of old city Key West for 3 nights. On Fleming at Duval St. Built by a cigar maker in the gilded age, circa 1889. The place is reputed to be haunted we were not aware of any spirits nor did we meet any. Our second floor room has a king bed and private bath with a porch overlooking the street. Plenty of room for the two of us. There is a heated salt water pool at the back of the house surrounded by palms and other trees. Extremely private and open 24 hrs. Sun lotion towels and other beach amenities are available gratis. A continental breakfast is on offer each morning and many non alcoholic drinks and munchies are complementary. You can purchase beer & wine for a nominal fee. There is no proper bar. It was perfect for a three day parachute drop into Key West. We did not rent a car as we were perfectly located within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. The house assistant manager Laura, was delightful and was on duty from 730am-5pm every day. After hours access was with a front door keypad lock or with a key via the back door. Before sunrise each morning we were roused from sleep by a crowing rooster. They are protected creatures here. Rate was $450/night. We say lodging "b", ambiance "a", service "a", value"b". Nancy & Mark. read more

I don't stay in bed and breakfasts very often but it was my first time in Key West and I wanted to stay near Duval street so it seemed appropriate. Many of the larger resorts were on the other side of the town. Marrero's is literally a 30 second walk from Duval street. Close enough to all the action and fun but far/quiet enough that you get a good night's sleep. Overall, I'm very glad I stayed here. Upon arrival, Cassidy was so sweet and welcoming. I felt very comfortable here and had such a great time in the Keys. read more

Great place to stay Walking distance to everything Room super clean and pool was perfect read more

Marrero's is a Key West ICON. From the tastefully flamboyant decor, to the rumors of a ghost haunting a few of the rooms, this place is full of wonder and charm. It being an Adults-only BNB is a major plus. While not explicitly a "lifestyle" stay, we definitely encountered some flirty couples and it was nice to know that we could be skimpy poolside without concern of underage eyes. "Help Yourself" Bar & porch swings were super charming, not to mention it's in walking distance of downtown. Can't wait to return!!! read more

I could not be more impressed & in love with this unique place! From the decor and amenities to the OUTSTANDING guest service, Marrero's will far exceed your expectations and enhance your Key West experience! I can't wait to come back! read more

Very cool hotel! Great location to walk to everything! Bars, shopping, restaurants, and sites. Management was very helpful in answering all our questions. Very clean! Breakfast every morning from 8:30-10:30 with a wide variety of food from fruit, pastries, quiches, and coffee options. Be prepared, parking is expensive, $50 a night (this is $10 off what the city will charge). The pool needed to be cleaned, but it was a great temperature and the deck has lots of shade options. This is an adult-only house. Honor bars at the pool and front desk. Happy hour daily with free wine, beer (I think, I just got wine), and light snacks. If you can't climb stairs with your luggage, book a room on the first floor. There are also 2 rooms detached by the pool. Ice machine by the pool. Easy check-in process, even if after 5 p.m. Be prepared for roosters crowing each morning at 3 a.m. (they are everywhere). Room 6 has a balcony on the front of the house, and room 9 is a balcony off the back of the house. read more

Stayed here recently for long weekend. Overall great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean, king bed was very comfortable. location can't be beat. close enough to Duval that you're right in the action in under a 4 minnute walk. and far enough away, that it doesnt keep you up when you're ready to call it a night. my only knock on the stay has to do with Bathroom in room 7 in particular. its very small, which is forgivable given theyre doing what they can with space available. but shower really needs either a shief or shower caddy. It was fairly annoying to constantly bend down to switch between soap/shampoo/conditioner which could only be stored on ground. a $20 shower caddy would resolve this. If i was staying for more then 3 nights I honestly might have just bought one for trip. other then that minor issue/complaint rest of stay was very pleasent. I'd stay they again and recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to the action on Duval, without being right on top of it. read more

OMG!! Love this place. From the moment we walked in we fell in love with this bed and breakfast, and both Cassidy and Laura. You couldn't ask for 2 better hostesses. Both super friendly, courteous and helpful, 1 did the breakfast buffet and the other did the happy hour and both were amazing. Great location, walking distance to everything. Highly recommend Marrero's to everyone!! read more

Absolutely love this place and we will be staying here going forward for our trips to Key West. It's got a nice little pool if you just want to chill and be lazy for a little while and I love the rooms with balconies! PS, it's not haunted like the ghost tour mentions. You'll hear the roosters fighting or making noises in the trees outside but that's about it! read more

Stayed here over the weekend for a sisters trip. The place was lovely. Clean room, nice pool. Although there was construction going on the whole time, they compensated by having a free happy hour or any time you felt like a glass of wine or beer. There was a nice fresh continental breakfast in the morning. Kait was extremely pleasant. We had an issue with parking, after an extremely long day with one of our flights being messed up, we wound up getting in at 1:00am. We did not park in the correct lot and that was completely our fault. We were given a letter with perfectly written directions. Laura was on duty the day we almost got towed, once again our fault. Laura was completely condescending and spoke to us like we were 3 years old. Her attitude toward us was uncalled for. Otherwise a very nice place to stay and we had a great time. read more

We stayed in room 18. The house is incredible. Super clean and charming. The employees are friendly and truly made our stay so perfect. Happy hour each day was a nice touch with some free beer and wine as well as snacks. Our room was cleaned each day. The breakfast spread was just the perfect selection to get your day started. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again! They also have a great pool to help cool down on hot days read more

I highly recommend it here. It's eclectic and quaint. The staff are amazing and helpful with anything you need. Our shower head broke and it was fixed right away. The happy hour was great with free beer, wine, cheese & crackers. We met awesome people and hope to see them again when we return...Total Key West feel read more

I never stay anywhere else when I visit Key West. On one visit I left some earrings behind that I had purchased at the Truman house. Imagine my glee when I returned a few months later and they had found my earrings and kept them for me! The staff is top notch. We partied in the pool with the owners once. They are so cool! And out of the 4 times we've stayed there, we've had paranormal experiences 3 times. The location can't be beat. You can walk to Duval Street in like 30 seconds, but it's far enough away so that it's quiet at night. I agree with the other person who said the rooms are hot and you can't turn the AC lower than 74. But I cant say enough about Marrero's! Love it! read more

So many things I despised about this place, I really was hopeful that my stay would be great by the number of positive reviews and after staying here, I really don't understand why this place has such good reviews. This is the worst place (out of 9 places) that I have ever stayed at Key West: First and foremost the major downside is the owner of this property. She has zero manners or professionalism, she is rude, should not be in the hospitality business and attributes to a negative vibe this place has. I simply reviewed how I was not happy about the fact they don't offer coffee all day nor in the room. Her solution is going across the street (or as she says "50 steps") to Starbucks which closes at 6pm by the way. As I checked out, she had the nerve in a hostile manner to approach me to say how "this is a 1890s Victorian building and if you don't like it you should leave and not come back" I was stunned. No saying thank you for staying 2 nights or anything, she just told me to leave the keys to the room and leave like I was dirt. I had already had a terrible experience at this place and that was the tip of the iceberg for this stay. I could not believe how terribly she treated me and I really do not think this is the first or last time she would talk to a guest like this. She needs to learn to take constructive criticism from her guests or should get out of the business. Unfortunately, the despicable mannerism of the owner and lack of coffee was not the only flaw of this place: The beds were uncomfortable. It seems like they are 20 year old mattresses with tons of padding on top. I did not sleep well my entire stay. The breakfast was terrible. Stale bagels, and limited selection and a bacteria-infested platter setup. I've had better breakfast at a motel and even in a hospital. The whole coffee situation is ridiculous. I guess it could've just been my room (18) without a coffee maker, but they should have at least tried to accommodate for their guests with a coffee maker in the common area. I asked the first day and they were very quick to dismiss it and direct me to Starbucks. I had to go out and buy one. Dare I say that without a bunch of excuses pertaining to the age of the building; there is a power outlet, there can be a coffee maker, it's not that hard to any other place but this one. But again, if you complain about it, you'll get a nasty lecture form the very unpleasant-brazen owner. They have the pool open 24 hours but they don't have pool clean pool towels available. Try complaining about that and you'll get an attitude or some excuse about how it's in keeping with being eco friendly, can't have someone there to refill the towels or some nonsense. Same goes with your room and towels. They are thin small towels. The WiFi does not work. You can try connecting to it and it doesn't connect. I've tried on 3 different devices-I'm sure that comes with an excuse as well. The walls are too thin. I get it's an old building but its probably due to poor renovations/preservation of the historic building. You can hear everything from the hallways to the neighbors all night. That wouldn't have bothered me as much if it weren't about everything else. The plumbing is terrible! You can't even flush urine without the toilet backing up. They do put a sign there reminding about the delicate plumbing, but it's unacceptable. Again, up to the owner who chooses not to make those upgrades and use the 1890s Victorian building as her scapegoat. The shower products were in a disgusting dispenser mixed with old and new lumpy product. Total cut costing measure which only added to the subpar experience. The private parking was a ripoff. Overall I would say that there are dozens of other better places to stay for the same or less price in the same vicinity. This place is an illusion of luxury and comfort and is not worth the price. Especially for being horribly treated by the brazen/pompous owner which has zero tolerance for feedback. This was a horrible stay, even though it has great reviews, I highly doubt I'm the only one to have had a problem with this place, perhaps no one else says anything because they fear retaliation from the owner for writing a bad review. If you are looking for a tranquil Key West stay, do not stay here! There are dozens of other places close by to stay which offer much more, cost less and appreciate their guests. read more

Our experience was not great but not horrible I guess. My friends and I (late 30's - mid 40's) arrived in the early afternoon. When we arrived to check in we waited for 20 mins b/c the person at the front desk apparently ran out for subway. Our room was small beyond small which we semi expected. The noise was hard at night but that is not their fault of course. The pool area is cute and charming - outdoor private shower was nice. They have beer and towels - "honor system" payment requested. Their "happy hour" leaves much to be desired but their homemade Sangria (which you have to pay for) was delicious. The apps are just blocks of cheese that they reuse for the breakfast in the morning. The breakfast is decent I will say. My friend went into the lobby one morning and said he felt very unwelcome and was made to feel like he didn't belong. As I was not there to witness it I cannot speak to why unless it had something to do with his sexuality. I would hope that would not be the case in 2019 but perhaps so. The day we were checking out we chatted with the other front desk person for a while then said we were going to head upstairs to pack up. Not even 60 seconds later a knock at our door - it's the same front desk person asking us if we were coming down now to check out. It really annoyed us bc literally we just said we were and secondly it wasn't even check our time. It was odd, again we felt like they didn't want us there or something. Lastly, as we were checking out a nice couple apparently with a child (whom I never saw) were having issues with checking in. They had booked thru booking.com and in their language it was not mentioned this place was 21 years and up so no kids allowed. The man was very calm when speaking to the front desk however the front desk person told him that "I am sorry this isn't what you want to hear but we will have to still charge you for a nights stay bc this is considered a no call no show" - of course this upset the man (and I have to say it bothered me too) - he and his wife were clearly from out of the country and to experience their first night in Key West this way was disappointing. I didn't feel like the House should have done that - at the very least given them a credit to use again in the future or only charge them half since it was not later in the day and they could have still booked that room to another guest. In my opinion and my friends who were with me - it was a bad customer service experience for that couple. Not only do they not have another hotel to stay at but now they have to pay for a room ($300 roughly) that they cannot stay in. Personally it's a cute (very old) home but I don't think I would return there. Mainly due to the customer service overall. read more

This is a beautiful, well kept hotel that used to be a mansion. What I like most is the proximity to Duval St. and many of the activities such as sunset celebration and the famous restaurants such as Sloppy Joe's and Irish Kevin's. Another nice thing about Marrero's is, this is an adult only hotel. The pool is not very big, but well kept and great for a dip, the rooms are non smoking which is a plus, many places I have stayed in the Keys smell like smoke inside, this one is clean and the grounds are well maintained. There are quite a few different room choices and all vary in price because of their size, the only room I have stayed in was called Nautikos and has 2 beds, some of the rooms have a King bed and are very high-end. If you are staying beyond 2 days, it can get quite expensive, but all of Key West is this way, I don't think there is any cheap place to stay, especially during fantasy fest or any of the holiday months. I read some of the other reviews complaining about the rooters crowing early in the morning, that can happen yes, but it happens all over the entire island, I have stayed North to South and I am woken by roosters in all areas of the Keys, so trust me this is not the only street in Key West you will see or hear a rooster Lol. read more

Fantastic. Laura and the innkeepers are so wonderful. The pool is amazing, great location off Duval. Had an issue with room 12 (which was so cute!) but then moved to room 2- wow. Room 2 was perfect and I can't wait to return. Breakfast is more than sufficient with cereal, bagel, muffins, fruit, hand boiled eggs, yogurt. I love this place. read more

Great location, had a fun stay and it was quiet in our room. The room was a bit hot but you can adjust the AC on your own. We had a shared bathroom and it was never an issue (waiting or walking in on someone). The happy hour is a little weak- no cocktails, just bud light kinda beers and 1 type of red/white wine. The location is really what you pay for...you can walk ANYWHERE from here. It's a great spot for that. The cleaning service was on point. The other couples staying were fun and respectful. We were the youngest couple but felt comfortable with everyone there!! Heard some guests talk about the mansion being haunted...also that it used to be a nudist b&b not too long ago.. but I didn't experience either of those while staying. I would go back! read more

Marrero's Guest Mansion is the perfect place to stay in Key West if you're looking for a peaceful, unique B&B-type of experience. Every room is unique and the mansion is full of southern charm. The location couldn't be better. Duval Street is right around the corner and Marrero's is tucked away on Fleming Street, just far enough from the action to get a good night's sleep but close enough to walk to the bars in 5 minutes. The service here is unbelievably good. They have a nice breakfast in the morning and a complimentary happy hour in the evening, with snacks and mixed drinks of your choice. Steve goes out of his way to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The pool is clothing optional, and includes a refrigerator stocked with beer, soda and water in which you can enjoy as you wish as long as you sign out what you took on the clip board and pay for it when you check out. Excellent experience here, I won't stay anywhere else when I make it back down to Key West. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic stay at the Mansion. Arrived at 5:17, just in time for Happy Hour! Parking is $15 a day or you can park a block away for free. We like to support the local economy and have the ease of not searching for a spot if we decided to drive someplace. We had room 16, & room 15 was empty both nights...so we had the bathroom to ourselves. Breakfast was continental style...and the fresh fruit was great. Free internet. Adults only. Clothing optional pool. Nice front porch to relax, people watch, or chit chat with the other guests. Steve the manager was great. Beautiful salt water pool. 1/2 block from Duval. We will definately be back. read more

This guest house is quaint, clean, and comfortable. The amenities were lovely. I loved the nice front porch with ceiling fans and a view of the house across the street with a beautiful rooster. The pool was a tropical oasis getaway with comfortable lounge chairs and places to eat and relax. It was the perfect place to skinny dip. Happy hour was fun and a nice bonus. I had never stayed at a guest house or B&B before. It was nice getting to know the other guests while sipping on cocktails. The location was perfect, just a 1/2 block away from Duval St. Most of the attractions were a short walk away. It was just far enough away from Duval to be peaceful. Being a solo traveler, I felt safe and at home. I stayed in rm 16. The shared bathroom while clean, could use a little updating with a new mirror and the leaky faucet needed fixing. I did find it amusing that just before checking out (on time) I could hear the host conversing loudly with the housekeeper about whether I was going to leave in time. Guests had arrived early and the room needed to be cleaned before they could check in. Overall, I would recommend this place to others. It was a great value and had a charm that only Key West could offer. read more

Great Place to stay! Especially room Nr 12 (at the Pool) We fell in Love with this place, would be Great to live here!! ;) Staff is very VERY friendly! Greets Klaus Ps: and it's Part of the ghost Tour with a great story...! Uuuhhhhhh read more

My husband and I stayed at Marrero's during our first time to Key West earlier this month- and would highly recommend it to anyone! Steve runs the place and was a fantastic host- from the happy hour to the great breakfast (with fresh fruit!) in the morning, he was always there to answer any questions we had. We were in room 21 which was small (and had some issues with the air conditioner) but had a veranda with stairs leading to the pool. If we ever return to Key West, we will be staying at Marrero's!! read more

Jen went above and beyond to ensure we got the specific room we wanted. Thank you so much! We really do appreciate it!

Such a great way to experience Key West! Charming, quaint, and not like the other cookie cutter resorts. Sure, Margaritaville is nice, but the staff at Marrero's and the overall feel of the house is just perfect! They have a Happy Hour we took full advantage of, and were just so darn nice. Definitely going back :) read more

This is a lovely place to stay while visiting Key West. It's 1/2 block from Duval and all the action, but once you enter it has a nice homey feel to it. To be completely honest, the room only merits 4 stars, but the overall ambiance, prime location, pleasant manager, complementary cocktail hour, and pool, all serve to bring it up in my opinion. The other guests I met at cocktail hour were from England, Sweden, Germany and somewhere else in Europe, as well as a few others. Delightful people. I thought this place was a good value and would certainly recommend it and stay there again. read more

I love coming to Key West for its history and fun. Marrero's Guest Mansion was awesome! I loved the historic building and we had the cutest room, with a loft. We went to Key West for my friend's 5K. The ladies who work in the parlor and help out with delicious breakfast are a wealth of information. Jen had the fresh croissants, banana bread, and Cuban cafe ready. She also relayed the history of the mansion, helped us with a map, and recommended WeCycle. We practically saw everything in Key West! We could not have been more pleased. Every time I go to Key West, I will now stay here. I feel at home, here. :) read more

Marrero's Guest Mansion - Guest Houses Near Me - Key West, Florida

We live in Florida and get to Key West just often enough to be in the know so I was a little surprised we had never heard of this place. All that changed one day on another beach up the coast with an issue of Southern Living - I loved the article about haunted hotels. That's how the plan to stay at Marrero's was hatched. PLUS - NO KIDS ALLOWED! YAY! (In fact no one under 21 is allowed - at all. I suppose this has to do with the honor bar by the pool - more about that later). We arrived with no difficulty but check-in was bizarre. A little like a job interview. Steve does not make a very good first impression - I felt we were bothering him. He warmed up as the days passed though and actually hugged me at check-out! Anyway, he took care of the business efficiently then gave me a placard for the car so we could park. He then told me this HAD to be returned to him at check-out or the attorney who owns the lot will charge us for a month's rental. It was a colorful sheet of paper that had been Xeroxed not some precious metal. Weird but OK... hey it IS Key West - you have to have some weird. Next up was a tour of the property. It was late afternoon and there were several people already at the pool which is clothing optional and no one seemed interested in opting in that day - or that week! There's a refrigerator stocked with beer, water, and soda. It's an honor system and you just put your room number on a sheet of paper. The pool quickly became our hang out in the mid day heat. Several trees overhang for great shade! When the clothes come off people seem more interested in talking and interacting. I always felt completely safe and respected but if nudity makes you uncomfortable this is not the place for you. Our room was huge, very comfortable, mini fridge, but nothing super special. This place is really more about the location. We were within walking distance of anything we wanted to do. I was surprised not to hear a single thing about the guest house's reported haunted past except for a "warning" about the ghost tour stopping out front each night. The morning breakfast is fruit, yogurt, varied pastries, and really good coffee. We used it as fuel for walking to Pepe's for an amazing breakfast. The highlight of this spot was really the other guests. Everyone had different backgrounds and experiences and it was great fun just talking and sharing. The evening happy hour is a good time to do this while relaxing before heading out for some pretty great nightlife. read more

The location is great, right where you want to be to walk to all of the best bars and places to visit on and around Duval St. Rooms were nice enough, hopefully in KW you are not spending too much time in your room! Steve and Cary(?) who cleaned up the rooms were awesome, they were very helpful. The place could use some updates: beds were uncomfortable, but overall nice enough. The front porch is a nice place to have a coffee or afternoon beer. Breakfast is weak... Store bought pre-packaged junk, a few bagels or yogurt. Never saw any fresh fruit others speak about in there reviews, other than bananas. Coffee was ok but there is a Starbucks on the corner and even better coffee at Cuban Coffee Queen right down the street. Go visit there - awesome breakfast sandwiches and Cuban coffee. The pool...hmmmm well, where to begin.... maybe we were there when it was senior citizens week but did I mention that it's clothing optional? At times it felt like we were in the locker room at the men's YMCA away too many older dudes without pants on.... We couldn't care less what people do especially in KW just know what you are getting into. Keep the kids at home just saying.... Location - 8 Cleanliness - 7 Breakfast - 2 Pool - 3 read more

Marrero's Guest Mansion - Breakfast time on the front porch - Guest Houses Near Me - Key West, Florida

For an affordable visit to Key West I'm glad I chose to stay at Marrero's rather than some air b&b. It was a little more expensive (especially after paying for the parking), but was worth it for the great location, nice breakfast, relaxing happy hour, neat building and hotel-like amenities. In my experience the service was nice and helpful. They gave excellent advice, prepared strong drinks, and got me an iron & board upon request. The no kids policy was also welcome. My favorite thing was was probably Marrero's location, right in the heart of Key West just a block from Duval Street and mere feet from Mile Marker 0. My least favorite thing may be that the shared mini fridge (located in our room's shared bathroom) didn't work very well. Because of that, a couple of minor things, and the higher price, I can't give it a full five star rating. However, I would stay at Marrero's on my next trip to Key West, and will recommend it to friends. read more

A great ADULTS ONLY guesthouse in the heart of Key West, at mile marker 0. Great continental breakfast and daily happy hour on the front porch. The pool is a clothing optional oasis with chaises, honor bar, pool floats, and an outdoor shower. The other guests certainly add to the ambiance of this guesthouse as does Steve the manager, barkeep, butler, and bellhop. Bear in mind this is a guesthouse, don't expect cookie cutter Hilton or Marriott style accommodations, each room unique, clean and comfortable. Can't wait to return! read more

This bed n breakfast was top notch. Not only is it close to Duval, but you're far enough to cancel out any noise, especially if you play some sleep noise app from your phone. I recommend doing that because the roosters do start crowing at around 3 am. But we did have a room facing Fleming St. So we're not sure if the other rooms heard them too. The pool is really nice and quiet, I only wish we had one more day to stay so we could enjoy it. We were only here for 2 nights. The staff was most accommodating, and the continental breakfast was excellent! We will definitely come back! read more

Had a really good experience here would definitely stay again. Stopped in for an impromptu visit to the city. Stayed in room 16; wouldn't recommend this room if you are a light sleeper as it is under the stairs. Shared a bathroom with another room next store--not a huge fan of this concept. AC was very nice and temp controlled with fan. Lovely breakfast with strong coffee, fresh fruit and amazing fresh pastries from a nearby bakery. We had the coconut one--so yummy! Nice secluded pool area in the back. read more

Marrero's Guest Mansion - Room 16--quaint and cute - Guest Houses Near Me - Key West, Florida

I wanted to stay at this hotel mainly because it was on a site for haunted places to stay at. From the photo it looked quite intriguing but after communicating with Steve (the manger) my curiosity about this place died out completely just as the ghosts did beforehand. I called in the morning and listened to their quaint little answering machine message with a friendly little old lady and man. They stated in the message we are open 8-5 if you call within normal business hours and don't get a hold of us we are helping other guests. So, I called at 8am . Knowing it is a busy season it being July in Key West and received that message. So I left a message and got no return call. So I called at 9am, and then 10am and still no one answered (Maybe, they are overslept or walked out?). No, that could not be further from the truth. There is no little old lady and little old man this inn is run by a cranky, RUDE, and uncultered man. FINALLY, after 6 hours I receive a EMAIL from STeve stating how my phone messages for reserving a room are doubling his work load. I couldn't believe it no cute grandma and grandpa running the inn but an angry, not socialized,passive- aggressive full grown man telling me how I am bothering him trying to reserve a room. He then proceeds to tell me that they only book for two days or if a guest booked the room the day before then I could book it. YES! I love booking rooms after someone already stayed in them to save the Inn money on housekeeping! Ummm, NO! Just as a reviewer stated before me it must NOT BE SANITARY. I wanted a personable and friendly place to stay and the ghost story behind this place drew me in but even if this place was on" Haunted America". I would run for the hills after meeting Steve! Keep your ghosts and your dirty sheets. Steve considers calling the Inn to make reservation as abusive as he stated it and barraging him with work. I consider this the rambling of a person who needs a job far far away from the people and all customer service. I just appreciate him being so outright himself and upfront and that saved me from a miserable stay at this place! read more

Good location but Very poor service. Staff was mean, they charged me $50 more that was offered on TripAdvisor. Refused to let the car parked after 11 am (after I paid $25 for the day...) "we need the parking space" and the entire parking lot was empty! The house is really shattered and very dirty. The rooms are semi-clean but the rest of the house is DIRTY! The green carpet on the stairs was brown out of dust. You lean against the veranda and it's so dirty your clothes get stained... the toilet was old and stained, not updated. I got mad I paid $300.00 for such a dirty place and was treated cheap! Breakfast was ugly and cheap, for the price... pls don't go there!!! read more

A great alternative to staying in a Hotel. The Marrero Mansion was nice and clean, the Manager was friendly and attentive, and the pool was awesome. Our room was haunted, but they told us about that when we checked in so we weren't too scared. Real paranormal activity in Room 18! The house is located 1/2 a block away from Duval street, so plan on bringing some ear plugs to block out the sound of restaurants emptying huge bins of bottles late at night and early in the morning. Other than that, we found Marrero's to be very relaxing, with very efficient air conditioning in our room, and a nice clean bathroom. Our room could stand a touch up, paint-wise, but this is expected in a pre-1900 mansion. The place is VERY central to everything. A 10 minute walk to the Hemingway House, and a 5 minute walk to the restaurants. The other guests at Marrero's were a super friendly mix of gay and straight. We liked that they had a complimentary cocktail hour (or two) every night, and of course a well stocked continental breakfast buffet. Marrero's is a great place to stay in Key West, and we highly recommend it to people who want something a little more personal than a hotel. read more

Once again, I regret not writing a review for the first time we visited Marrero's about 3 years ago. It was wonderful then, it was wonderful last week. The house is charming, has an interesting history, & is VERY well maintained. Super clean. The beds are comfortable, the pool area is beautiful, & even the water pressure in the shower is decent! Steve, the manager, is very accomodating, friendly, funny, & gracious. He's always ready to give you fun options for dinner that you probably wouldn't know about otherwise. I've read some reviews saying that Steve is rude, but that has never been an issue. It's quite simple: don't be a jerk, be considerate of others, & follow the very few rules. The man has a job to do, & people tend to think that just because they're on vacation, the rules don't apply to them. Steve's awesome. The big draw for us is the clothing optional pool. It's beautifully landscaped with plenty of shade. It has an honor bar, & the drinks are cheaper than anywhere else! Marrero's attracts many repeat visitors, & they're always happy to be back. We count ourselves in that group. Evening happy hour is a fun time to get to know Steve & the other guests. We're very glad that Marrero's does it, as well as the breakfast (admittedly, not quite as lively!). Skylie & the other woman that cleans (never got her name) are both gems. Both are very friendly & cheerful. You can't say that for a lot of hotels. They're also great resources for things to do in Key West that aren't on the beaten path, & we appreciate it! We're looking forward to planning our next trip to Key West in a couple of years, & we will be back to Marrero's! Room Tip: Make sure you look at each room online. Not all rooms have their own bathrooms or outdoor areas. read more
