Key West is a very small island, but it is a big tourist destination so the amount of places to stay at is truly endless. We do not have a hotel block and a lot of our family members are staying at timeshares or houses they rented on Airbnb or VRBO. I recommend searching a few travel sites to get a feel for what you would like. If you stay in old town or near southernmost point, your prices will likely be higher but those areas are more walkable to stores, restaurants and bars. If you stay in new town or in the front of the island by the bridge, your rates could be less but there is not as much in walking distance and you’ll need to taxi, uber or rent a golf cart or moped to get around the island. Alternatively you could drive your car around the island but I will say that parking lots can become costly. Plus you don’t want to drink and drive in Key West, this is why we rented the conch trolley train to transport everyone to the wedding and reception, so you can drink and have no worries. On this page I will post some of the places I’ve come across or have stayed at but a quick google search will open you up to more options.
Zack and I recently stayed here in December and loved how close it was to everything!! This is very close to our wedding reception site as well and probably just a few blocks from where the meeting spot will be to get on the trolley train for the wedding.

We have not stayed here yet but I always look at staying at it. It is so pretty and now recently a 21+ resort. It’s closer to the front of the island so a moped or golf cart could be rented to get down to the Duval street fun. Or you can always drive your own car (remember parking is expensive and who wants to drink and drive in key west), or of course take a cab or uber! They have very affordable rates!

This hotel is right in the middle of the action, very walkable to all the things! It is old and historic and has great ghost stories. It has recently been renovated. I had family friends stay here previously and they enjoyed it very much. The pricing seems very fair if you book early.
