The staff was courteous. We did change rooms due to no dresser. We did not want to live out of our suitcase for a 7 night stay. And There were only stools in the room which was not safe for us at our age. The continental breakfast was great.

Liked: Staff & service
This was the most expensive hotel on our road trip - including a Universal Resort hotel. The front desk ladies were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The location very good, few minutes from Duval Street and Southernmost point. Plenty of bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Sadly the room we had (71) nothing like the picture shown. It looked more like a forgotten staff room at the end of the car park. No wardrobe, tiny and dated, didn’t feel particularly clean. The bedsheets were stained so we had to ask for them to be changed. The bathroom was incredibly dated and the toilet seat in dire need of a new one - it was chipped and stained yellow. Horrible. PLEASE replace it! Overall very disappointing and we wouldn’t stay here again. Outrageously expensive for a very sub standard motel.

Pictures did not reflect the condition of the motel. It was in need of an overhaul and our room had the bare minimums - very limited. . . had to unplug the coffee maker to plug in the microwave. Wouldn't stay there again.

Southwinds is an older motel in the heart of Key West. Easy to walk just about anywhere from their location. Room was clean, great bed and wonderful staff. Only problem was that we were close to the bar, so lots of loud music at night. We didn’t complain or ask to be moved as we were there during the KW Marathon, and all the rooms were full. We did add an extra day to our stay, and they placed us in a great room by the heated pool. Would definitely stay there again, just not close to the bar.

Room was ok, small but clean. Location was good, easy access to the beach, Duval, about a 35 min walk to the west side and port. Used to be free parking but now are charging. Not sure what the resort fee paid for outside of the pool. Downside. Staff was not friendly or helpful. Acted as if we were inconveniencing them the entire week we were there. Complimentary breakfast was pretty weak. No hot water on our last day/night. Pretty loud each evening with the band in the bar anywhere from 6pm to past 10 depending on the evening - felt like they were in our room on a couple of nights. First trip to Key West and our stay here was disappointing. Would not come back to this facility.
