Check in was great and friendly. Walking distance to the beach. Air conditioning froze out my husband. Hotel was under construction but still very clean and kept. Would definitely stay again.

Nice place to stay.

Sue, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient location to Duval and beach. Pool is under construction. Staff is very friendly and room was nicely updated.
Barbara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean but small, recently nicely updated. Windows were still the old jalousie type and did not close properly, entry door had big gaps all around, big enough for critters to get thru. Entire property was a construction site. Workers showed up at 8.00 am. Hotel location is good. Clarence Higgs beach is not far. Once the construction is finished we would consider booking here again.
Margot, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was recently redone and they are in the process of renovating the courtyard, but will likely be very nice when completed. Good value, about 2 blocks from the southern most point. The staff did come clean and replace towels on the second day, which was a pleasant surprise.
Jessica, 2-night trip

it is good to stay
Youzhou, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great with my girlfriend and I. We slept well and were within walking distance of cool parts of town. Thanks again from Henry!

Sherry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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