Exactly what we needed, barebones but a perfect location. The rooms are clean, the water is hot! Beds extremely comfy.
Make friends with your neighbors! It can enhance your trip!
We all even booked another stay together.
Walk around, there’s so much to do!

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.

Best kept secret on Key West
This was my second time staying here over the last 2 years. The staff, location and accommodations are excellent. This is probably the most affordable lodging you will find on the island. The rooms have been recently upgraded and they were very clean and comfortable. I love the location and you can walk everywhere. No need to drive anywhere when you get here. Strongly recommend staying here!
