Modern shower, clean,very nice pool and Nani at the front desk was helpful and friendly.. 11:00 checkout

Kim United States of America

This is a lovely motel, with the entrance looking like a throwback to the 1950's, with real character. We booked and stayed for four nights. Although Key West is, as you might expect, is a very expensive area, the charges at this accommodation were very acceptable and reasonable. Our room on the upper floor was clean and well presented. Bed was very comfortable, and the water pressure was very good, and shower was hot and powerful, first class! (after experiencing rather low pressure in a suberb of Miami) Location was good with downtown around 10 minutes away, but there is a free shuttle bus service called the Duval loop available from nearby. Large swimming pool in the center of the courtyard with loungers available. If I was to visit Key West again I would have absolutely no hesitation in booking this motel again. 😊

Bernadine United States of America

location, updated room was very nice, liked that it had a continental breakfast, and pool was warm

Christine United States of America

The motel is in a great location for walking to Duval street or the southernmost point. It had a modest but sufficient breakfast served poolside. The pool area is nicely updated with a modern feel. We had an updated king room that was spacious with nice fixtures. Overall a very comfortable room with convenient parking onsite.

Julia United States of America

it was clean. room was spacious and modern. breakfast was perfect. pool was great! could use a few more lounge chairs and some that are a bit more comfortable.

Gray United States of America

It covered the basics of a continental breakfast. The covered pool area was a pleasant place to enjoy breakfast. The woman who cleaned up and kept food stocked worked hard and was friendly.

Pamela United States of America

Great location and friendly staff. One of them (Lee) was exceptional. She was so kind with an out going personality. Helpful with any questions we has. That lady is a definite asset to your location.
