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!

Decent stay. No pool

Stay was just fine. We got a clean room and straight forward and simple. Nothing fancy. What sucked was the pool was under construction and that was one of the reasons we also chose the motel so we felt from an advertising standpoint we should have been informed about that so as to not corner us into a position of paying for something advertised and having it not available. Felt swindled. Besides that, would recommend.

Mostly good. Minor negatives.

It was extremely clean and smelled nice, not overpowered by the odor of disinfectants. Bathroom appeared to have recently been updated and was done very tastefully. A minimal but very unexpected annoyance was the lack of available ice especially in the hot weather in this area. A chair added to room would be helpful. I really don't understand why they let those roosters crow so loud! 😉😅

Here is the dirt:

Our room had three double beds and the suite was huge, clean, with three giant closets (not enough hangers)--one drawback to having a suite--it was devoid of a couch or lounge chair and requires a full length mirror--we removed a mirror from the kitchen to be of use. We chose not to engage room service, and a note pad to request an extra towel would be handy. We had one of those terrible coffee makers in the room (I would advise everyone not to drink the terrible coffee that is created by those contraptions)! Every hotel that offers that awful coffee service should just get rid of those little cheap machines and coffee pods that look like tea bags and offer a 4$ coupon for the local coffee shop or have a decent coffeemaker in the lobby--such a waste of plastic, supplies, and time. Construction was in process and was a bit of a drag as in pictures the hotel had central courtyard with a lush patio and tables/chairs to relax--instead was a huge pit with orange plastic construction fencing--what a surprise! Location was excellent--we were just a 5 minute walk from the Southernmost area--Sandy's has a food truck (the best Cuban sandwiches and cuban coffee--get it iced)! The island is so small that we could walk from our hotel to the pier straight across the island in about 30 minutes--it's really the best way to enjoy the beauty of the local architecture and flora. Not sure if we saved much money by staying here--it certainly is not "hostel" pricing, but not bad.

The pool is a construction site so it feels like staying at a construction site, as it is it very close to your doors. It will be nice when finished but right now it is comically ugly they should give a discount for the state of the motel right now. The rooms were nice and very clean though.
