Concierge "A small historic hotel with big resort amenities, the Marquesa is steps from raucous Duval Street."
Fodor's "Elegant rooms surround a courtyard and have antique and reproduction furnishings, earthy tones with black-and-white accents, marble baths, and outdoor sitting areas." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"Refurbished from 1884 conch houses, the Marquesa Hotel is a compound of four buildings surrounding lovely interior gardens and two pools." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Two of the houses are restored Victorian homes filled with antiques, and the other two are opulent, with four-poster beds and floral spreads."
Star Service "This is a fine boutique-hotel with a long list of repeat clients that would never stay anywhere but here." Full review
Rough Guide "A grand guesthouse built in 1884 with a formal clientele and lush green surroundings including its own onsite waterfall and swimming pools."
Gayot "This property was once a collection of conch houses from 1884. Although it has been upgraded, it still has a classic seaside look. It is one block from Duval Street, the center of Key West action."
The Telegraph8.0
"A boutique hotel located in the heart of Key West’s charming Old Town district, Marquesa is amongst the most sophisticated options on the island." Full review
Travel + Leisure "1884 clapboard houses set back from busy Duval Street. A no-cell-phones-in-public-spaces policy helps to keep the peace." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "There are a total of 44 rooms between them (called Marquesa Hotel collectively) and three pools. You feel like you're in Key West and only Key West here. True sense of place, zero kitsch." Full review

There's quite a bit of variety between the different buildings so be sure to specify and ask questions when booking.

Recently renovated Oceanview rooms are the ones to request, with similar-looking though noticeably fresher fabrics.
Oyster Mid-Range
"Situated on the far side of the island away from Key West's main attractions but close to the airport and across the street from the beach, Best Western Key Ambassador is a mid-sized value hotel." Full review
Fodor's "You know what to expect from this chain hotel: well-maintained rooms, predictable service, and competitive prices." Full review
