When booking on line the room states it slept 6. 2 queens and a pullout couch. The pull out couch was broken and unable to be used. The walls had plaster coming off of them, a whole in the ceiling, orange slim on the shower curtain, air conditioners were not working well so the rooms were hot. We turned on the ceiling fan to circulate the air and it wobbled and made a grinding noise so bad we thought it would fall out of the ceiling. And let’s talk about the clean sheets that were stained and the crumbs on the futon and couch which were probably left for the rats we saw outside. On a positive note it didn’t smell like cigarette smoke and the 4 locks on the outside door made us feel extra safe along with the dead bolt and lock on the bedroom door.

Nice place by Bahia Honda and very close to Keys

Overall the stay was nice. Good space. Clean. Manager was nice. Pool was clean. Very good rock band that plays at night also country. Bar is standard and the food offered was ok but that’s because they were still fixing something’s and the pizza was good. The only issue I had was the front desk who didn’t have our room ready and responded to everything you need to ask “upon request”. We came during check in time at 3pm and the man didn’t bother to see if our room was ready and said to come back at 4pm until the manager came and looked for us and it was ready. Then similar issue on front desk we had asked for more towels to shower and we used for pool too and they gave us a hard time for towels that we need to ask upon request and that’s what we were doing. We were the only ones using the pool. Even with this happening me and my family did have a nice time and enjoyed the place regardless.

Unsafe conditions; rooms in terrible condition with broken door locks, nonfunctional A/C, broken and dirty room fixtures, peeling paint and crumbling plaster (…were we breathing in lead paint dust? We’ll never know). Took pics of what appears to be mold or mildew in rooms, which was probably the cause of the unpleasant smell and potentially dangerous to asthmatics (there were 4 in our party, which we explained to management). No night manager to help with anything and an unhelpful and dishonest day manager that took no responsibility for the safety concerns we raised. We left the hotel and returned our keys as soon as we saw the condition of the rooms, and they still kept all of our money (for 3 nights!) despite the fact that we never stayed even 1 night, and more than 1 employee told us that we would be receiving a refund before we left. Total bait and switch, as you can see from the pics I’ve uploaded versus what’s advertised on their Expedia profile. I would give zero stars if I could and will be contacting the state’s attorney’s office, BBB and Health Dept.

A little rough

Towel rack came off the wall first day toilet was hard to flush had to pull the chain from inside the tank and you can't adjust the volume or shut off the TV with the remote needed to unplug it which is probably why I found it unplugged. Other than that it was convenient for me to be close to family

Older property but comfortable

Basic accommodations, nothing fancy, the property is showing its age. The toilet paper holder had fallen off the wall and the paper was on the back of the toilet. However, the room was clean, the a/c worked fine, the bed was comfortable, and the property is a lower-priced alternative to the high-priced hotels in Key West. Previews reviews had commented that the rooms near the bar get a lot of noise, so I requested a quiet room and they gave me the one furthest from the bar. It was quiet. I would stay there again.

Great alternative choice to Key West. We took the afternoon seaplane to the Dry Tortugas, but didn't want to pay the prices of Key West. Being about 45 minutes north was great. Our trip down the keys was shorter and vice versa, and traveling 45 min after the seaplane ride (with a stop for dinner) was easy, with minimal traffic.
