We were a group of 8, two families with 2 children each (aged between 2 and 7). The morning we were going to check out a staff member asked us - between 8 and 9 am - up to three times if our children could be more quiet. The first time I agreed, I had just asked the children mysef to be quiet while they were running down the stairs. But the two other times, we were having breakfast near the pool, they were not noisy at all (the hotel is situated near a busy street, the cars made more noise then the children).
After breakfast my friend and I took the children for a trip with a glass bottom boat while our husbands went diving. We arranged to meet each other again around noon at the poolside of the hotel. We brought some sandwiches for lunch and were planning to leave after lunch. Not a single soul was around there at the moment, but the manager asked us to leave immediately because we had checked out that morning...

The parking lot is a gravel area with LARGE potholes filled with water. I think the hotel must have been built in the 1940's or 1950's and never renovated. The electrical outlets are all only two pronged outlets (none of them are GFI). If you have any appliances that have three prongs or two prongs where one is larger than the other, you have to use an adapter.

The hairdryer was corroded and did not work when I plugged it in. When I tried to unplug it, it started falling apart. I left it where it was since I was afraid of being electrocuted!

The "breakfast" consisted of coffee and a prepakaged danish. There was also a container of juice with ice in a cooler.

The prices were not even that cheap compared with some of the other motels in the area.

I would DEFINITELY skip this one if I were you!

First of all we were told to park our motorcycles behind the building, that there was a concrete slab in the parking area, when we went back there, the parking area is all gravel, the only slab was a handicap parking space.
NEVER NEVER again will I pay for a room without looking at it first. The door to our room had a 2X4 attached to it (because someone obviously broke the door), you had to hold the entire hair dryer from the outlet by the bathroom door, the dryer had bugs in it's holder & in the dryer. I have seen newer TV's in the dumpster, than the one that was in our room. The water in the shower came out with low pressure, but it was at least warm.$ 49 for the night would still have been too much to pay...but $ 88.88 was outragous.
When we registered in the office, you explained your "no smoking" policy, which led us to believe the property was well maintained. It really doesn't matter that you don't allow people to smoke, when the rest of the place looks they way it does. If you want to stay in business in this tough economy, I would I suggest you lower your rates & advertise it as a no frills, low rates, no smoking place to stay in Key Largo, otherwise you will be amoung the many closed businesses in the area.

OK, for a 1-star hotel, this place is in bad shape. The good: it is centrally located in Key Largo. The bad: It is an old place that is poorly maintained. The ugly: Uneven gravel parking with large pools of water. Poorly maintained surroundings. Garbage under stairwell. Unpainted stairwells. No elevators. Termite invested with termite droppings everywhere in the washroom. Poor drainage in the washroom. Strange bugs in the washrooms. Lights in the washroom worked intermittently. Old television with only one working speaker. Carpets were dirty. Had to change room.
