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.

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.

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.

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.

The property is under construction and had some issues related to that. Rooms were recently remodeled but the windows were not and they leak air and allowed a lot of noise and light to enter the room. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Shower took a while to heat up and it was difficult to adjust.
