“Seashell Motel acknowledges the challenge of Key West prices, yet it counters them with a location immersed in Old Town and access to both Higgs Beach and the Duval Bus loop. While some may find the courtyard's smoking policy a drawback, the motel's commitment to cleanliness and ongoing renovations ultimately make it a practical base for exploring.”
