“Would Stay Again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Great location close to famous Duvall Street and the South Beach. Free limited parking. If you get a spot don't move your car, just walk or ride the Old Town Trolley which you can catch about a block away. There is lots to see and do, and great places to eat, within walking distance. Convenient, clean laundry facilities. The recently redecorated room was spacious, very clean, quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed the tile floors and the plantation shutters. The Continental breakfast was enough to get us by until lunch and we could take it to our room.

Room Tip: Don't move your car if you get a parking spot.

“Excellent location”

I was rather surprised that this hotel was offered as the cheapest on Key West. The room was very clean, in a good shape. The motel seems to be built in 50s-60s, yet it is in a very good shape. The location is perfect - Duval Street and Southernmost point are just around the corner. Great value for money.

“Wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Our room was spacious, airy and light. The decor just seemed perfect for Key West. It was clean and had all the amenities.
The motel is close to the ocean in one direction and within walking distance to all the action on Duval Street.
The laundry station is clean and well lit. I used it twice on our stay and everything worked perfectly.
Staff helpful and pleasant.
