It is everything you need. Clean rooms, hot showers, two pools, ice and washer and dryer. Small breakfast and on the quiet end of the adventures. Grocery store across the street, ice cream and bar/restaurant on site. Excellent pricing and friendly staff. Thank you for an incredible girls trip. We will see you soon.

Great location. Good value, small rooms because they have updated a motel from a past era. Friendly helpful staff. Laundry room was a plus.

This property is amazing. Two pools, one heated. Free laundry (with detergent!). Front desk did magic and got me my room for a second night. Coupon for free umbrella and towels at the beach around the corner. Go get a Classic Cuban from Ana’s Cafe right across the street. Right on the Duval Loop Trolley. Great value for money. Highly Recommend!

My room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was a little small for me but im a 6'4" big guy. Great bar right on the property. Close proximity to just about anywhere a tourist would want to go. Very nice pool. Every guest was very friendly. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I loved my stay. I recommend to anyone who wants to visit key west.

This is a wonderful little motel with a great location and very accommodating staff. The rooms are just as advertised and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is small but cute. We were pleasantly surprised and very happy with our stay. Both pools are amazing, close to so many key locations for site seeing and oh, the ice cream truck!

Disliked: Amenities
Location is excellent. Property needs updating especially if they are charging the same rates as fees as surrounding hotels. The check in lady was very rude. Looks like she wanted to go home and busy speaking to others instead of completing my check out. The AC unit in the room barely blew cold air and when we said something they brought us a fan.
