would give a zero star if there was!!! the room is shabby; a/c is quite noisy; and got bite by bed bugs! never go there again

My husband and stayed at this motel and were so very disappointed...the bed had springs sticking up and because all the other places on Key West were full we had no choice to stay...we had to put our jackets and their towels on the bed so we could sleep on this bed. The tv cable keep going out and of... More

I stayed here when I had just moved to KW. I think its fantastic that it exists for young travelers on a small budget, in such an expensive paradise. If you are familiar with Hostels, you'll be good...if you've never stayed in a hostel, research what ur getting. Thank you, Sea Shell!!!!!!!

I stayed at the Seashell Motel with two family members in August 2011. It is a combination hostel and hotel. I booked this room for two reasons - it's the cheapest place to stay in all of Key West and it's in a good location only a few blocks from downtown and the beaches. My quoted rate was $84.00 a... More
