We had to ask to get our room cleaned and to get clean towels. We were also told at check in there was a $20 a day parking fee, in which was waved when I said to cancel my reservation. The bathroom plumbing was a less than adequate with no hot water on the last two days. No quiet time at night with younger guests being loud and obnoxious at 1/2AM in the morning. I could go on, but just to say our stay was very nupleasant is an understatement and I'm very unhappy that we spent that much money for that kind of service. I will not be booking that property again. I'm more than dissatisfied and I truly this reaches someone that cares. Thankyou.

Location was perfect. However when we arrived in the room there were no towels and no soap to take a shower. In addition, breakfast selection wasn’t good at all. We were put in a room behind a bar and it was extremely loud until 2am in the morning.

The staff is always very helpful and friendly at Southwinds Motel. Our room was accomodating but rather small for a double. And they need to put more hooks in the bathroom and a full length mirror in the room. There is nothing on the walls so there is room and a large mirror would be nice.

The place is Old. It was clean. You will find rust, chips in the floors, water pressure in the shower(room 33) very bad. The price & location Great. The small pool, was never useable for the 7 nights we were there. It was Green & cold. The continental breakfast & parking are worth it alone. I would stay there again. I visit Key West one or two times a year.
