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.
