The location is great and room was updated and clean. Hotel is VERY much under construction, so there will be saw noise throughout the day.

Peggy, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was recently redone and they are in the process of renovating the courtyard, but will likely be very nice when completed. Good value, about 2 blocks from the southern most point. The staff did come clean and replace towels on the second day, which was a pleasant surprise.

Youzhou, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This cute little motel was a perfect spot for a couple nights in Key West. It was walkable to the trolley line and even with some construction work on the new pool it was quiet. The room was darling and clean and front staff was helpful in helping us find things to do.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not a bad choice

Reasonably priced for someplace to just crash for the night, beds were a luttle hard, no bfast, no pool, so just a place to crash and shower. AC kept room cold, did have a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Close walk to Duval, I would go back.

Exactly what we needed, barebones but a perfect location. The rooms are clean, the water is hot! Beds extremely comfy. Make friends with your neighbors! It can enhance your trip! We all even booked another stay together. Walk around, there’s so much to do!

Best kept secret on Key West

This was my second time staying here over the last 2 years. The staff, location and accommodations are excellent. This is probably the most affordable lodging you will find on the island. The rooms have been recently upgraded and they were very clean and comfortable. I love the location and you can walk everywhere. No need to drive anywhere when you get here. Strongly recommend staying here!
