Key West, FL motel market

The Key West lodging market, by the numbers

According to the US Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (2022), Monroe County — which contains Key West — has 173 accommodation establishments employing 7,309 people. Of those, 159 are traveler-accommodation businesses and 131 are hotels and motels specifically. Most are small, owner-operated properties competing for the same calls — independents like Seaport Inn, The IsLAnd House, and Duval Gardens sit on the same booking searches as the national chains, but without a 24/7 front desk behind them. OpenStreetMap currently maps 118 named lodging properties in and around Key West (110 hotels, 2 motels), of which at least 81% are independent — exactly the operators who lose peak-season calls to voicemail because the owner is the entire staff.
