Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great staff who were able to get me into a room almost 3 hours earlier than the check-in time. Small room but clean and a very comfortable bed. Provided a free simple breakfast- coffee, muffins, bananas, yogurt, and cereal. The Tipsy Rooster attached to the motel is a great place to hang out for some drinks and local music artists. Spent a few hours in the clean/clear pool. Walkable to Duval Street. I highly recommend and would stay here again. Zero issues/complaints.

Great stay - small room
This was a great little motel, just one street over from Duval Street ( which is the Main Street in Key West). It was a small room, but just perfect for us just to sleep in. We spent most of our time exploring Key West. Found out from one of the tours that this was the first motel in Key West. But they have kept it up well.

Loved the location of the Motel, and the breakfasts were good, but felt our furniture could have been repaired. i.e. the drawers were falling out of the dresser a d the nightstand was not in good repair, nor the table.

Property was good, staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was a little small but fine for what we needed on our budget. Fridge and microwave in the room which was great. Breakfast was goo, help yourself continental style, no excuse if you left hungry. A bit of a walk in to town but ok if you like a walk.

This is not the fanciest of hotels but I would stay again. There's a musty scent in the room which may just be part of staying in KW on the south side of the island. 3 pools which are nicely maintained and the staff is friendly. Liquor store & bar on premise are great and the little convenience store and deli directly across the street are great options. There's a great coffee cart down the street by the Southern tip (highly recommend.) If you are looking for fancy, this isn't your place but if you are looking for charming convenience and a steal - this is the place for you.
