“Great location and value. Perfect place to stay for a budget trip to Key West!”
Perfect value for money, you get what you paid for. Brilliant location. Had all the amenities you need, including parking. Although I didn’t use, there was an ice machine and vending machine onsite. Nice and clean pool, with towels provided. Comfy bed. Very friendly staff at check in/out.

“Great family stay”
Really enjoyed staying here. It has a rustic 70s vibe and it almost feels like it’s stuck in time, in a good way. The rooms are basic and dated but clean and comfortable. I struggled with affordable accommodation in Key West so I feel the price was good considering what’s available. It has a really pretty rooftop lounge area, beautifully planted courtyard and lovely little pool. Staff were polite and helpful at all times.

I liked the retro old Key West vibe and It is nicely decorated and everything (pool, roof top, room, sheets, towels) is very clean. The on site manager George is décrété and efficient. It is a very cute place.

We had a great stay. The room was spacious, the bathroom a bit basic but very clean, and the location was perfect — just a few minutes from the beach and about 20 minutes from the city’s main street. Absolutely recommended. Our daughters also loved taking a dip in the pool!

“A lost relic, lovely Old Florida Motel wonderfully located near Duval Street and the beach”
The location of the motel is wonderful. Very close walking distance to Duval street, as well at the Butterfly Conservatory and the Hemingway Museum. 5 minute walk to the seaside. The staff were very friendly ! Fully recommend for people looking for Old Florida vibes.

“Was pleasant, but feel a bit expensive when viewed in isolation. In context of Key West prices it was fine.”
Pool was nice. Good that it had parking.

“Perfect spot for a long weekend”
This place is an absolute gem. So kitsch and perfect styling for Key West. Pool is great. It’s immaculately clean and beds comfy. Water pressure in shower is good. Helpful kind staff. Location is spot on. Roof terrace a dream.
