I was more miffed by the whole Keys experience than this motel to be honest, but I can't ignore the fact that it was a run-down building sandwiched inside an extremely sketchy trailer park. I don't think the locks would have done much if someone had decided to walk into our room from outside, and the walls were so thin... More

Nothing fancy here - but a clean and cozy room. The location is great as you can walk a short distance to a cabana bar where we sat and watched the sun set while the band played. Great value for the $$ Owners are great and very helpful. Nice people who seem to care. More

My husband and I stayed here between January 2 and 5, 2012. Our room (#22) was clean, bright, and comfortable. The rates are inexpensive and the location is good. No complaints at all. More

We stayed in Dec 2011 during the Holiday breaks so we paid a little more BUT well worth it and still I think the best bargain on the keys! We had a room on the Blue Fin side with the kitchen. We had service items for 4 which was what we wanted. We could spend our money other places instead... More

My friend Annette and I stayed one night at the Blue Finn side of this motel. We had room 21, right next to the road and the soda machine. I have to say, for the price, $49 with a full kitchen, the room was immaculate and roomy. Only drawback was frequent visits to the soda machine by others staying here,... More

We travel to the Keys regularly and have stayed at several different hotels & resorts with varied rates and amenities and the Key Lantern Motel and Blue Fin Inn is one of the cleanest rooms we have stayed in. When visiting the Keys on a budget (who in their right mind isn't, in today's economy) you wont find a better... More

We planned on using the place as a place to sleep as we explore east and west and that is what it was supposed to be. We did plan on cooking there and It did not have the cooking utinsils claimed in the reviews. The Linens looked clean but the matresses were due to be replaced as they sagged really... More

We stayed in the Key Lantern Motel for two nights while diving and sightseeing in Islamorada. The place is pretty much what you would expect for the price. The room was small (the owner made this clear when I booked it though) and basic, but functional. The decoration could have been more inspiring (whitewashed cinderblock walls inside), but it seemed... More

We have stayed here for 14 years and will keep coming back. Because we spend most of our time fishing and diving, we just need a quiet, clean place to sleep. This is the perfect motel for this. More

Ok this is not The Ritz it's not even a Laquinta. So don't go expecting 5star service or accomadations. The room was clean and enough for our needs. We didn't do much but sleep there. The water was always hot when we needed it and the kitchen is equipped with all the basic utensils. Would I stay here again? Yea... More
