Location and Access

Seashell Motel is located in Old Town Key West, a neighborhood in Key West. It is 5 km from Key West International Airport. The motel is a 15-minute walk to Duval Street, three blocks away. It is just 7 minutes' walk from the Southernmost Point of the United States and walking distance to Key West's famous historic homes.

Services and Amenities

The property includes safety features such as a carbon monoxide detector, a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, and a first aid kit. Team members have their temperature checked.

“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.”
