The excellent location and all staff is friendly. I did not expect they served continental breakfast. Parking at the location is very convenient. Although the building is bit old, but it was very clean and feel like i am in KW!

Don’t listen to the people saying negative things. Here’s an honest review. It’s a groovy old town motel very close to the ocean. Several restaurants for breakfast and open until 11pm including a store with groceries across the street. More privacy than the BnB’s. 2 pools and a large continental breakfast which was very nice. It’s a $7 Uber ride to the furthest end of Duval so you’re a block away from the chaos. The parking is key here. No issues at all even when the hotel was booked. They were super cool with parking our rental scooter from papas in front of my Jeep. Didn’t have to drive our vehicle the entire week. Staff was great and super helpful. Pools are open until 10pm. Pretty quiet motel too. It’s an older property original to the area and was updated a few years ago. You get the Old Key West experience. The SouthernMost landmark is literally around the corner, very very short walk, maybe 3 minutes. There is a cool tiki bar onsite up front by the road with solo musicians everyday. We would leave Duval and head back to finish up our night at the onsite Tiki bar. There’s actually a liquor store next door to the front office as well, the is located at the tiki bar that had an interior area behind the service bar. Outdoor seating on the main road. Our room wasn’t the biggest, but it was clean, Cold AC and we had a blast the entire visit. This is our new little secret hideaway now.

You are paying key west prices for a property that needs some work done. It’s a motel so I understand. But the pricing was entirely too high for what you got there

We love the location of this property. The only suggestion I would make is that the rooms need a little bit of an update. Staff was excellent and the fact that we had our own little bar to sit and listen to music in every night was a huge plus.

Budget hotel in a good area but room is very small. The room needs to have space to put things down in the bathroom and the air conditioner blows directly on the bed two feet away!

Location, location, location! Staff was great...and plentiful. Older rooms, but perfectly fine for a Key West experience. Live music at night was great. While being right on the street, we still felt very safe, and the constant hum from the wall AC drowned out any street noise. Bed was super comfy and we slept great!! Will definitely stay there again.

Dont let the word Motel fool you!
The location was awesome, one street off Duval but right by the beaches and the southernmost point. Quiet but with plenty to do. Mini market, donuts, Cuban coffee, and a bar, plus a liquor store, are right there. It exceeded my expectations for a motel.

The motel itself was just okay, but I was not expecting a lavish place. It was however the most lively place around us. No other hotel or motel had a party going on outside in the evening like this motel. The bar, store, and ice cream truck kept this place lively and hopping well into the night. I enjoyed the place. It was near Duval Street and had easy access to many places. Parking was easy.
