Perfect for the night

I book three rooms for a group of 2 adults with 6 teenagers. Its not a fancy place but certainly a comfortable one. Its close to everything just 20 min walk from the boat docks. Live music and entertainment, bar, snack mobile, Hammocks, scooter rentals all you can possibly needs for a short fun stay. Just 2 blocks from the famous Key West buoy. Front desk service was kind and efficient. Will stay here again.

Up and down

The check in process was easy. The property offers 2 pools,( 1 smaller heated one) which are clean, and a very basic continental breakfast with several comfortable outdoor areas. Unfortunately, maid service is only every 3 days, but we had to specifically ask for our room to be done because our room was not initally on the list for our 3rd day there. The room, itself, is clean, but is a very, very dated room with a tiny bathroom, though the bed is comfortable. The location is great and musical entertainment is offered daily as part of the complex, along with outdoor bar and pricy ice cream truck. The Cuban restaurant across the street is casual and delicious. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

We liked the music each day on the property and the sitting area in front of the office. We could sit and talk without being directly in front of the music/Bar area. The breakfast was basic, not much for non-carb eaters. Also, unfortunately, only had non-dairy creamers which are full of chemicals. There is milk available, just hated opening a whole carton for a small amount. Towels were soft and thick. One bed was comfortable, the other squeaked and was worn. Bathroom sink was very small, hard to wash your face and no where to set toiletries. No shelf at all in shower, have to place soap and shampoo on the floor. Very hard for a senior person and just plain annoying. Over all a good motel, a little pricey but similar to others in area. We recommend staying here if you don't mind the small annoyances.

The location was perfect close to the ocean and Duval Street. The motel has character and is tastefully arranged on the outside. The front seating area and live music was wonderful. It was nice to be able to rent bicycles right at the mote. The staff was wonderful. For the price - the room could have been in a little better shape. It was very small, and the towel racks were falling off the wall.
