This was my second time staying here over the last 2 years. The staff, location and accommodations are excellent. This is probably the most affordable lodging you will find on the island. The rooms have been recently upgraded and they were very clean and comfortable. I love the location and you can walk everywhere. No need to drive anywhere when you get here. Strongly recommend staying here!

Was a great place to stay i hot a free room upgrade due to renting for a week and them not being over packed for spring break!

The hosts were awesome and very responsive. The office is open 24/7 if you ever need anything. I borrowed their sunscreen a few times, nice folks.

Good location for Duval St., and other attractions. Employees very nice. Grounds are a bit rough because it’s mid -renovation. Beds very comfy.

Stay was just fine. We got a clean room and straight forward and simple. Nothing fancy. What sucked was the pool was under construction and that was one of the reasons we also chose the motel so we felt from an advertising standpoint we should have been informed about that so as to not corner us into a position of paying for something advertised and having it not available. Felt swindled. Besides that, would recommend.

It was extremely clean and smelled nice, not overpowered by the odor of disinfectants. Bathroom appeared to have recently been updated and was done very tastefully. A minimal but very unexpected annoyance was the lack of available ice especially in the hot weather in this area. A chair added to room would be helpful. I really don't understand why they let those roosters crow so loud! 😉😅

The room was surprisingly large. The beds were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. We went in the middle of the week so prices were very reasonable.

We got one of the more recently updated rooms, which was perfect for what we needed! Everything was really good for the price, however, the seals on the doors/windows are non-existent. expect to hear everything outside from a sneeze to a car driving by. also they are currently under construction which was not advertised anywhere but the fine print on hotels.com so no pool as advertised :/

Rooms are small and dated but functional. Windows let draft in and workers start working on building early so don’t expect to sleep late. But convenient location, priced high but still in Key West it’s one of the lower rates. Enjoyed our stay here. Loved the chickens… bring a couple pieces of bread for them.

The property was clean and updated with a king size bed. The bathrooms were nicely updated with tile but there was no hot water. The property was well lit but outdated on the exterior. The locations was nice, just a few blocks from Duvall St.
