I need some information on Key West...is there an off season? What is the cheapest I can get a hotel?

Where is the happening place on Key West??I need some information on Key West...is there an off season? What is the cheapest I can get a hotel?
go to sloppy joes...get yourself a big drink with an umbrella in it...call a friend or family member...tell them to log on to the sloppyjoes.com website and look at the live cams...and wave at them to rub in what a good time you're having on vacation...


and...you must go have key lime pie on a stick...from Kermit's Key Lime Shoppe (down by the harbor)


depending on how adventurous you are...you can pick a random bed and breakfast to stay in...much cheaper than most hotels...I've never had a problem with any I've stayed in, but I have heard lots of stories.


You definitely want to stay within a few blocks of duval st and no more than 8 block from the west end of old town.


oh...I'm getting jealous...I think I need to plan a trip


Good luck!I need some information on Key West...is there an off season? What is the cheapest I can get a hotel?
Off season is generally the summer, as it is pretty hot in Key West May - September. Also, this is hurricane season. The cheaper hotels are the hotels near the airport like the Days Inn, Ramada, and Best Western.





The happening place is Duval Street and Mallory Square at sunset. There are lots of bars on Duval Street like Sloppy Joe's, Irish Kevin's, the Bear Bottom, etc. Most of the bars have bands or musicians during the afternoon and evenings. The sunset festival in Mallory Square is something you should definitely see. There are all kinds of street performers and quite a crowd. Oh, and sunset is beautiful, too!
The 2 weeks after spring break. You also don't want to stay in a cheap hotel. You wouldn't want to sleep in the beds or even walk on the floors. Don't drive, parking is terrible, go to Miami and fly down. Learn to snorkel or scuba dive if you don't know how (but have waterproof sunscreen on on your back and the back of your arms and legs. Go to the library and look up info on restaurants and places to see in the resource and travel sections. Be careful of some of the bars, try to find the best hurricane. Make sure you see Hemingway's house and his cats. Enjoy the seafood, try the mahi-mahi (pronounced ma hee - ma hee) and the natives. Also the architecture is fantastic.
Summer is not too bad either for decent prices. Be sure to eat at Pepe's Cafe and try the steak omlette, filled with filet mignon!
