“Perfect for one night on your way to Key West.”
For us, it was a return to the Keys, where we lived for many years. The motel is located on US1 and right next to the restaurant; it's not a luxury motel, but it's perfect for an overnight stay. You can park right in front of your room. The rooms are a good size and have a sliding door at the back that opens onto a private deck with direct access to the pool. We enjoyed our small private patio while sipping our complimentary welcome drink and waiting to use the pool, which was a bit noisy on that Saturday afternoon. The pool area is pleasant with lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas. The pool itself is a good size and heated. I really enjoyed our outdoor shower after swimming. The room was clean and had everything we needed for the night, including a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Located on the side of the road, the noise from the cars is largely blocked by the door and window. I really thought the room would be noisier. There is some road noise, but not enough to bother us. As it is often the case in the Keys, locals come directly by sea to enjoy the restaurant. The room does not have a direct sea view, but on the side of the motel there is a small path that leads to a dock and directly to the sea.

“Motel was clean and comfortable, staff was nice, no ocean view, but the TV was awful!”
There was no breakfast at the motel. We went to Mangroves Mikes Cafe about 2 miles south of the motel and it was excellent!

“Good place fore a short overnight stay”
From the outside it looks like an average motel with the attached bar. However the room itself is cozy, has backyard leading to the pool which feels very private. The property is just on the road, but it did not bother us.
