I don't know of anything under $50 per night, but I stayed in a very nice bed & breakfast in November of 1997 that was only $55 per night for the room I stayed in, which had a double bed, and that rate included a continental-style but very generous breakfast (fresh pastries, cereals, breads, bagels, fruits, juice, coffee. The place was written up in Frommers, and it's called the Southernmost Point Guest House. It's a historic house at the quiet end of the main street in town (Duval), across the street from a small beach and a short 10-15 minute walk to the area with most of the restaurants, shops, etc. There is a jacuzzi on-site but no pool. The rooms aren't fancy, but they are comfortable, spotless, and all have TVs, A/C, phones, small refrigerators and coffeemakers. It is run by a really nice woman named Mona Santiago. I'm sure the rates may have gone up somewhat since the last time I was there. Some of the pricier rooms upstairs have ocean views. There is free parking on-site, although you don't necessarily need a car there. Here is the website address which should have rate and contact information and may even show photos of some of the rooms: <BR> http://www.southernmostpoint.com/ <BR> Good luck, and if you stay there let me know how it was -- I'd be interested to know if it's changed. Key West is a ball! P.S. November is a great time to go -- it's still the low season so no crowds and lower rates than in December. |
