Superb breakfast team and a lovely stay

A delightful stay at Ridley House. The rooms were well appointed with a steamer instead of an iron which was helpful. The breakfast team were superb. Making hot items to order, and a daily special for guests to enjoy. Freshly baked muffins were superb too. The only down side was the windows could do with a good clean. But an easy job to fix and it didn’t impact on the stay. We would stay here again and the location was perfect.

Friendly but needs attention

Staff at Ridley were continuously, friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were excellent, beyond that expected. A chef was engaging and friendly. Unfortunately the room we received had the strong odor of mold. That is unacceptable and something must be done to eradicate the odor.

Beautiful guest house, large rooms, beautiful pool area. Best feature is a chef who makes breakfast to order daily. The breakfast is beautifully presented, and includes fresh seasonal fruit and berries, overnight oats, juices, freshly made muffins and biscuits, Colombian coffee, and eggs, pancakes, burritos, and more served in the garden. Close to Duval, close to the Harbor. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved staying here. Staff was so incredibly friendly, everything is so clean, building itself is gorgeous and the rooms are so classy and cute! It’s so close to Duval Street where there are lots of things to do, but just enough off the block to still be very quiet and peaceful! Would recommend to anyone staying in key west! If I come back I will be staying here again!

The staff was accommodating, updating us with texts at each step of the way. The breakfast was the best we’ve had in a long time, prepared by a talented chef.Our room was on the third floor, and was clean and quiet . The Inn is just far enough from Duval street to be quiet but easily walkable.

Another fine stay, tho pool could be warmer

Another nice time at the Ridley (our 7th stay over about 10 years). Much, much improved breakfast! Happy hour sangria! Pleasant staff. Grounds look nice. Room was comfy, bed included. No kids at all. Our only notable disappointment was that the pool was just not warm enough. Please fix that and we’ll be back soon.
