Our room was spotless! It is family run and you can tell they care. Such friendly and helpful people.We stayed in room 11 and had a full kitchen. Since we were staying 5 days this certainly came in handy for saving lots of money on meals. It is conveniently located to explore the keys. More

We came to town without a reservation and after stopping by a couple of other motels we were feeling hopeless. From the rear view mirror we spotted this place and decided to pull in. We figured it couldnt be any worse than what we had seen and the price we were quoted. We were so surprised when the rooms we... More

Great little place, quaint and close to everything. What you would expect in the Keys and the area. Left Sombrero Resort and Marina to come here. Glad we did. More

Although we are retired, we went to the Keys during spring break. Prices in general for rooms during this time are simply ridiculous. Having said that, we changed our plans from Key West to Marathon. After doing some searching on the internet and shuttering at the prices in Key West, I moved my focus to the middle keys and ran... More

Old fashioned (50's style) hotel, small rooms. When you arrive you may think you made a mistake---I did. But this is the cleanest (by far) hotel I have ever stayed in in my long life. The vegetation is gorgeous and Diana can tell you what each and every plant is. There is a semi tame iguana on the premises. This... More

The rooms are clean with extra firm beds fitted with crisp clean sheets which have been line dried in the Florida sunshine and fresh air. The standard rooms have a... More

Clean, no frills, comfortable accomodations. We stayed for three nights in Unit 10. Having stayed in many hotels 1 star to 5 , that was the best bed I ever slept in at a hotel/motel. Diana, the owner is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed her 2 restaurant suggestions. We hope to return next year. More

Spotlessly clean, with a very freindly, helpful owner. Not luxurious but very comfortable, with all of the important features: fridge, microwave, full size coffeepot on request, air conditioning, picnic tables, and even clotheslines out back for wet clothes/neoprene. Free wifi--sometimes best connection outside at picnic table. A great place for scuba divers/fishermen. VERY affordable, especially at Keys prices. Will definitely... More
