Reservation Deposits
For most bookings, a deposit of one night’s room charge with tax, is required at booking.  Cancellations can be made up to 7 days before arrival, without penalty.  Cancellations made within 7 days of arrival will forfeit the reservation deposit.

During Fantasy Fest and New Years Eve, reservation policies are more restrictive.  Reservations for these dates require full prepayment upon booking.  Cancellations must be made 30 days in advance of arrival in order to receive a deposit refund.

Non-Smoking
For the comfort of all guests, and the preservation of our historic buildings, all guestrooms are non-smoking.  We do require strict compliance with our smoking policy in all rooms and interior spaces.  Guests are welcome to smoke on porches, patios, and outdoor areas.  Ashtrays are placed in those areas for convenience.

Families
Merlin Guesthouse and Budget Key West offer the best assortment of rooms that can accommodate more than two persons, including families.  Cribs can be provided with advance arrangement; however, roll-away beds are not available.  Be sure to note the existing bedding arrangement in rooms when booking.
