Loved staying here. It may be an older motel, but it was clean, quiet, and offered plentiful breakfast options. The staff was incredibly friendly, and it was close to the high points of Key West. Additionally, it was close to the booth where you could sign up for the trolley or train to take you around Key West to explore the areas well known to KW that may not be within walking distance. We also appreciated that it had a liquor store and bar right next door, featuring live music every night at The Tipsy Rooster. If I ever return to Key West, I would definitely stay here again.

My room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was a little small for me but im a 6'4" big guy. Great bar right on the property. Close proximity to just about anywhere a tourist would want to go. Very nice pool. Every guest was very friendly. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I loved my stay. I recommend to anyone who wants to visit key west.

This is a wonderful little motel with a great location and very accommodating staff. The rooms are just as advertised and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is small but cute. We were pleasantly surprised and very happy with our stay. Both pools are amazing, close to so many key locations for site seeing and oh, the ice cream truck!

Disliked: Amenities
Location is excellent. Property needs updating especially if they are charging the same rates as fees as surrounding hotels. The check in lady was very rude. Looks like she wanted to go home and busy speaking to others instead of completing my check out. The AC unit in the room barely blew cold air and when we said something they brought us a fan.
