My husband and I stayed at the Angelina for 6 nights at the beginning of June and just loved it. It feels totally authentic to Key West, with locals living nearby and tons of character and charm.
We rented bikes and did not move our car the whole time, which I would definitely recommend. Although the hotel is situated on a quieter street, it's easy to walk or bike anywhere on the island.
We booked one of the shared-bath rooms - it was small, but clean and cozy with lots of sunlight - and a steal at $69/night! The 2 bathrooms are only shared among 3 rooms, so we never had to wait, and there is a common room with a fridge and mini-kitchen where we stored snacks and drinks. Our room was on the upper level, which I would probably request again in order to avoid a bit of the street noise that is typical in Key West.
Breakfast is simple (aside from the delicious home-made cinnamon rolls) but will fill you up for a day of sightseeing. The staff is incredibly helpful, even booking a fishing trip for us, and our afternoon ritual became laying by the amazingly tranquil pool until dinner-time.
My only complaint is the sporadic water temps - my shower often switched between really hot and cool, but otherwise I can't imagine a better place to stay in Key West for the price!
