10/10 Exceptional

WE really liked the place the room was great and very close to where we wanted to go.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to stay.

Nice sized rooms. Big showers & very clean. Close to beach & boardwalk. In process of remodeling the place. Staff is friendly.
Sue, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not a bad choice

Reasonably priced for someplace to just crash for the night, beds were a luttle hard, no bfast, no pool, so just a place to crash and shower. AC kept room cold, did have a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Close walk to Duval, I would go back.

Great people and clean room, note that there was ongoing construction for the pool and some rooms while we were there.

Best kept secret on Key West

This was my second time staying here over the last 2 years. The staff, location and accommodations are excellent. This is probably the most affordable lodging you will find on the island. The rooms have been recently upgraded and they were very clean and comfortable. I love the location and you can walk everywhere. No need to drive anywhere when you get here. Strongly recommend staying here!

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

Good location for Duval St., and other attractions. Employees very nice. Grounds are a bit rough because it’s mid -renovation. Beds very comfy.
