This cute little motel was a perfect spot for a couple nights in Key West. It was walkable to the trolley line and even with some construction work on the new pool it was quiet. The room was darling and clean and front staff was helpful in helping us find things to do.

Best kept secret on Key West

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!

Decent stay. No pool

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.

Mostly good. Minor negatives.

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! 😉😅
