Winslow's Bungalows - Key West Historic Inns

Winslow's Bungalows is one of the Key West Historic Inns, set on Truman Avenue about 600 m from Duval Street. The Truman Little White House is also 600 m away, the Hemingway Home 700 m and Mallory Square 900 m, so most of Old Town is walkable. Some 2,100 guests give it 8.6 out of 10, and the gardens and atmosphere get as much praise as the staff.

The grounds have three outdoor pools, landscaped gardens, a sun terrace, hammocks and swings, plus a bar. Pets are welcome, with water bowls provided, and there's private parking.

Worth knowing

Rooms are smaller than many guests expect, some reviewers report cleanliness issues, and a few feel the price is high for what you get. Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. It suits couples and dog owners who like a relaxed, tropical-garden feel over a big hotel.
