What Happened to Key West Hotel After The Hotel Inspector? (Newquay, UK)

Part 1 — Season 2, Episode 3 Aired July 20, 2006

Key West Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, appeared in series 2 of The Hotel Inspector, in an episode aired 2006-07-20. Wikipedia's list of The Hotel Inspector episodes (read 2026-10-19) describes a small hotel run by retired owners and hurt by rowdy stag and hen party bookings. The same list shows a follow-up episode, "Key West Hotel (Revisited)", dated 1 November 2007, in series 3, in which Ruth Watson checked on the hotel's progress.

No source read gives the hotel's street address, any later name or its owners' later plans. Web searches on the hotel name returned TV guide pages and Newquay hotel directories rather than a page for this hotel. A Google Maps lookup returned the Great Western Hotel on Cliff Road, Newquay, but nothing read connects that hotel to the Key West. The summary here therefore rests on the two episode listings, and no dated source on the property after 2007 was found.

A Google Maps search for Key West Hotel in Newquay, checked 2026-10-20, returned no listing for the business, open or closed, and no website or recent online review for it was found that day.

Part 2 — Season 3, Episode 9 Aired December 13, 2007

Key West, a guest house in Newquay, returned to The Hotel Inspector in a revisit episode that ShowsPlus lists as airing on Channel 5 on 2007-12-13, the ninth episode of series 3. ShowsPlus titles it "Key West Guest House, Newquay (Revisited)", while Wikipedia's list of The Hotel Inspector episodes names it "Key West Hotel (Revisited)" and describes it as Ruth Watson revisiting Newquay to see how the business is doing since her visit. According to ShowsPlus's description, she went back to find out whether the owners had followed the advice she gave a year earlier. The sources read for this appearance do not report the result of the revisit, and no later information on the property was gathered for this episode.
