“Very Clean & Very Nice Place!”

Grand Guest House

JupiterFL

Jupiter, Florida

Nov 2, 2008

My wife and I found the Grand Guest House when we decided to come down for Fantasy Fest at the last minute and needed a place in old town Key West for Friday and Saturday nights. We were directed to the Grand by the Key West Innkeepers' clearinghouse telephone number. We virtualy immediately received an e-mail confirmation from the onsite onwer. Check-in was quick and easy and the onsite parking was perfect. Even though we had been to Key West before, the owner suggested several close restaurants and other stops. We were shown to our second story room which was a queen one bedroom suite which also had a foldout queen size futon/sleeper bed in the first room where the kitchenette with refrigerator, stove, and coffeemaker were located. The entire suite, and all of the Grand's grounds and common areas, were well-maintained. The suite, bedroom, and bahroom were very clean. The AC unit was strong and easy to operate in several different modes and settings. The breakfast was fairly standard but everything was fresh, kept stocked, and the garden seating area was full of beautiful tropical plants. Dirty dishes were promptly cleared and the staff was friendly as well. We did not hear any neighbors the entire time we were there, although we did meet some nice people who were staying at the Grand that weekend over breakfast and everyone was friendly and complimentary about the Grand and their experience there. The only negaives we can offer are the following. First, since we like to park the car when we arrive in Key West and then walk while we are there, the Grand definitely gave us some exercise getting to and from the seaport end of the island and the more active end of Duval Street. If you are driving or riding scooters or bikes, however, this will not be a problem. Second, although we did not miss it since we had a busy schedule, the Grand does not have a pool so if we were visiting during the hot months of July through September, we probably would have regretted not having a pool (the Grand, however, is close to the beach). Last, a relatively minor issue was that the TV was mounted in the bedroom as opposed to the larger common room in the suite where it would have been more convenient during the day and evening to watch-again, a minor point (people who would prefer to watch TV in bed would obvioulsy disagree). Despite these last couple points, we can nevertheless recommend without reservation the Grand Guest House since in the important points of comfort, cleanliness, maintenance, and overall quality, this B&B is well-run and was a real pleasure.

“A "Grand Experience" at the Grand Guest House”

Grand Guest House

Seabag2

Nov 1, 2008

We read about The Grand Guest House in our Frommers, gave a call and boy are we glad we did. Derek, the Property Manager,was delightful. He was couteous, detail oriented, answered a million questions. The raport I had with him on the phone making the reservations made me feel confident we were in for a treat. The Guest house is only 7 blocks from Duval,We were in walking distance to most everything, but far enough away for peace and quiet when we wanted it. The property is lush with foliage and SPOTLESS. The room was just as clean, and comfortable, had everything we needed, breakfast was put out promptly every morning with plenty of fresh coffee. We met the owners, Jeffrey & Jiim, they were truly concerned for our comfort and wanted to ensure we had everything we needed,we did ,Derek saw to that.
We are already planning on going back next year. This time we stayed in the standard room, next year we are going for the suite.
I highly reccomend The Grand Guest House to anyone looking to go to Key West.

“Grand Choice”

Grand Guest House

FloridaLady08

Cape Coral, Fl

Oct 27, 2008

We had never been to Key West, only a few hours drive from our Florida home, so we planned a little "get-away". I checked many web sites and settled on the Grand Guest House. We were completely satisfied with the Grand. It was all we expected. The Grand is a great value, professionally run and conveniently located to all Key West has to offer. We brought our own bikes (although they have bikes available to rent on site) and were just a short ride
(or walk) to all the places we wanted to go.
If you are looking for value, clealiness and a friendly efficiently run establishment this is where to stay.

“A Grand Time At The Grand”

Grand Guest House

This October my wife, my sister, her husband and I stayed at The Grand Guesthouse in Key West. We were treated like kings and queens. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the continental breakfast was more than we expected. The rooms were very well appointed and clean. We had researched B&B's online and their web site was easy to navigate and their pricing was very good. The Grand's proximity to Duval Street was great, we saved on taxi fares and got exercise walking. The neighborhood The Grand is in was very quiet and clean. When we go back to the Keys The Grand will be the only choice for our accommodations.

“Great quite location”

Grand Guest House

Florida

Oct 26, 2008

Decided at the last minute to go to Key West and most B&B were either sold out or had a minimum number of nights stay required.

Found the Grand on tripadvisor, checked out their website then called to get confirmed for 2 nights for Room #2.

The room was small but very clean and it has a nice private courtyard that was perfect for breakfast and catching up on some reading.

Since this was my first time to Key West the staff was very helpful with suggestions for sightseeing and dining. All of there recommendations were excellent!

I will definitely would stay there again
