Hmm. Maybe it's just as well that I didn't go to Key West, Florida last year because of the pandemic. I visited there two years ago during a stopover while en route to Havana, Cuba on a cruise. I didn't do any hotel pricing when I was considering a trip to Key West.
According to Sun Port Charlotte, the Florida keys have the highest-priced hotel rooms in the country. Maybe it might be a better idea to take the motorhome there and stay at a campground or RV park instead.
They reported:
MIAMI — If you’re planning an overnight stay in Key West, prepare to dig deep to pay for a hotel room. In fact, it’ll cost you more than any other destination in the nation, a new survey says.
Key West leads the country when it comes to the most expensive hotel prices this spring, with an average nightly rate of $299 for the cheapest double room. That’s according to Cheaphotels.org, which recently released the report.
The highest rates don’t stop in the Southernmost City, where $299 a night is a relative bargain. Several places want more than $1,000 per night, according to booking websites.
It might be a good idea to go with friends to share the cost of the hotel room. Contrast those prices with the $500 it cost me for the 2019 cruise to Key West and Havana.
