This is a good clean place to stay. Definitely outdated and old. However we didn’t mind that as it had huge rooms, was very quiet (stayed in back rooms) and super convenient to walk everywhere we needed to go. Breakfast was just very basic and had to eat in room. That was ok with us and met our needs. Only issue is that the room could use a “real” chair to sit in. Only had bar stools by a counter and for elderly people this was difficult. The chairs and towels by the beach were ok but obviously this wasn’t the best beach. Ok for kids and to sit. nice perk.

This property is very conveniently located in the Old Town section of Key West. The staff was very nice and helpful. However, this place is in serious need of an upgrade and remodel. I didn't expect to see paint peeling off the walls at a property that charges over $400 per night and adds on a $33 per night "resort fee."

We were put in a room right next to the bar. The amplified music played until midnight, making sleep impossible. We asked repeatedly to have our room changed, which they refused, because the motel was fully booked. After a mostly sleepless night, we asked for a full refund, which the manager granted us, after some discussion. Other than the noise, the room was adequate, though very dated. Beware of Room 19!

After paying $200 resort fee (not a resort), they added $150 for a deposit and decided to keep that too. The room is worse than a Motel 6, but there are basically no cheaper hotels unless you stay miles away. Absolutely not worth that much on a weekday.
Toilet is at a 45 degree angle because that's how small the bathroom is. Extremely dirty room, but they kept the deposit anyway.

The staff was great, very courteous and helpful. The room needs some attention. Bathroom sink too low and small and faucet needs replaced. Both faucets in shower need replaced. It was very hard to maintain constant water temperature while showering. It would have been helpful to have had more storage for clothes rather than "living out of the suitcase."

Room very tired, initially the shower wasn’t hot, maintenance called, temperature sorted but no water pressure. The room was next to a bar so very loud music until around midnight. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel, the only good thing was the location, walking distance to Duval Street

Not sure why this place charges a “resort fee” upon check in (I was charged $156 for three nights). This is an old motel with many upgrades and improvements needed. My positive is that everyone at the front desk was helpful and friendly
