Very Good

Check in was great and friendly. Walking distance to the beach. Air conditioning froze out my husband. Hotel was under construction but still very clean and kept. Would definitely stay again.

Really good hotel, wonderful location, great staff and a family owned business. Perfect Key West getaway.
They are renovation so be aware of that but everything else is as listed. Very clean extremely polite. I highly recommend for people looking for a place to rest their head at night
The room was nice and big. There were a living room and kitchen. It was very nice and clean. The staff is also great. I accidently forgot my earnings, they called and inform me and had it at the front desk for me when I went to pick it up. Would definitely recommend.

Hotel is still under construction. But beds are comfy. Bathrooms are spacious.
up against neighbors parking lot. the only truck there over night parks as close to the motel as possible. the bushes are overgrown and there is no room to get to your room. i broke my bike mirror squeezing through. if they trim the bushes way back it will be fine
Es un hotel que está en proceso de renovación, por fuera se ve no muy bien, pero las habitaciones y la limpieza que encuentras adentro es impresionante.
En mi próximo viaje lo volvería a reservar sin lugar a dudas

The location is great and room was updated and clean. Hotel is VERY much under construction, so there will be saw noise throughout the day.
The room was clean, looked good and was spacious. The door howevr was glass and had some kind of bamboo cover that did not cover anything and people could see straight inside if we had the lights on. The main entrance is under construction so we had to walk through gravel to get in which was okaybut someone who needs a flat ground would struggle. Check in experience was easy and staff was pleasant and helpful.
