Don’t let the construction on the outside fool you, the rooms are nice. My room was recently redone to include a brand new tile bathroom that is nicer than mine at home. Fresh paint, new lg flat screen tv, comfy beds, new flooring, and plenty of space to move around. The pool was under construction but I knew that ahead of time because it was posted online when I booked. The family owners were very friendly and let me borrow some things I had forgotten to pack. Location is excellent, hotel is well lit on the exterior. The doors open to the outside but I never felt unsafe. I would definitely stay here again. It’s not fancy with expensive art work and water features, but the location can’t be beat and it’s spotless.

Exactly what we needed, barebones but a perfect location. The rooms are clean, the water is hot! Beds extremely comfy. Make friends with your neighbors! It can enhance your trip! We all even booked another stay together. Walk around, there’s so much to do!

Hidden gem

Great little place. Really clean. Only two things stood out really. There is construction on the property, so parts of it were a mess. They upgraded us to a suite when we got there, which was great. But the front "living area" air conditioner struggled a bit. The one in the sleeping area was as cold as you could want it though, so that wasn't such a big deal. Over all, a great little hidden gem that definitely should not be overlooked

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.
