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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! From being greeted by Tisha to our clean and comfortable room! We stayed in the Huckley room and we were so content and happy! We loved the suggestions for restaurants and activities! We used the bikes for two days to get around town which was so much fun! We can’t wait to come back and visit!

We had a brilliant stay here. It is walking distance from everywhere on the island, but also far enough away from the liveliness of Duval St. The room was spotless, has recently been renovated also so is modern. On street parking right beside the property also. Jeff is a very helpful and communicative host, and has great recommendations for places to eat and what to do. Really delighted with our stay here and hope to return one day soon.

Great stay!

We had a lovely stay at the Porch. Communication was excellent. Rider was great to work with and met us upon arrival to help us find a parking spot. She helped with our bags and took us to our room along with an explanation of how things work. She provided some excellent dining options (Cafe Sole and the Thirsty Mermaid). Our room was quiet and comfortable, and loved our porch. Easy walking distance to Duval and the ferry terminal. Highly recommend as they made us feel welcome.

Back to the Future

I have stayed at the Inn many times over the years, but it was called The Bottle Inn then. I arrived pretty late, but the new owner was there to greet me, check me in, and give me a tour of the place. Clean, comfortable room. Parking was a challenge, as it always is in Old Town. A bit of a walk to Duval Street, but there is a great restaurant across the street, and another two blocks down. I will definitely stay here again.

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.

This is an incredible property… gives you a true Key West experience… the host/owners are super nice and accommodating but not over bearing… the facility is up to date and super clean… not some rubber stamped hotel… it’s unique and quaint… A++++++ If you don’t like this place then you’re not going to like Key West either…

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.

This is a lovely old building converted into about 8 units. Ours was on second floor (no elevator but didn't bother us) and it had a lovely, large covered balcony with comfortable furniture. Our room was large, with nice furniture. There was no built in closet but there were wall hooks and a corner rod. The bath was modern with a large walk-in shower. Towels and linens were plush. Coffee supplies were provided in the room, with a private ice-maker and small fridge. Coffee was also available downstairs in the office. We are planning to go back later this year.

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.
