"A Memorable Stay... Whether You Like It or Not"
Ah, Ambrosia Key West – where the past meets the present, and neither one seems to be working quite right.
Let’s start with the positives, because I’m a glass-half-full kind of person (even if the glass is cracked and leaking):
🏝️ The location? Perfect.
👩💼 The staff? Lovely, warm, and clearly doing their best to keep this historic house standing.
🏛️ The building? Unique and full of character – the kind of place where every creak tells a story, and every room has a ghost of functionality past.
🍳 Breakfast? Available early and every day, which was great because sleep wasn’t really an option (more on that later).
Now, for the charming quirks:
📺 The TV didn’t work, which was fine because the fan only worked with the light on – who needs Netflix when you can experience 1920s sweat lodge vibes?
🔌 Electrical outlets were a fun little scavenger hunt – like an escape room, but your reward is being able to charge one thing overnight.
🚿 The shower had a personality. It screamed in protest every time I used it, much like I did when I realized the bathroom A/C got weaker by the day.
🔥 And who could forget the fire alarm that went off at 1:30 AM on my birthday? Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like sprinting out of bed to the soothing shriek of impending doom. Bonus: they removed the alarm after that and never replaced it – apparently fire safety is optional once you've celebrated another year.
Would I stay here again? Maybe.
