Was booked for a week at the Black Fin. Showed up after working that first day at Key West. Motel is 60's vintage. Has no iron or ironing board in rooms, Room and bedding dirty, saw bugs crawling, bathroom was dingy and definatley 60's era. Slept on top of bedding for the night and left in the morning. Many construction... More

We found the Blackfin 7 years ago and have stayed there several times a year since. The people here have become more like family every time we are there. We take our 25' boat every year and usually our miniature pinscher. The Blackfin is a taste of what the Keys used to be like, laid back, relaxed and very friendly.... More

The location was great--right on the bayfront, with a marina and a beautiful sunset view. The room was small but relatively comfortable. There was a coffee maker, but no fridge or microwave. The hotel offered free wi-fi, but you have to walk down to the laundry area to access it, which I thought was very misleading. The service was fair... More

Landed in Marathon for our wedding and learned we were double booked at the Blackfin and another hotel. (lodging was wedding surprise from parents) Barry (Blackfin manager) was very accomodating. He let us cancel our reservation free of charge and still allowed us to have our sunset wedding at his location also free of charge. The Blackfin's sunset point extends... More

The one positive in all this is that the owner gave us half of our money back. In my opinion though, we shouldn't have had to pay anything for this (Room price was $88 walk-in rate, much too much for this!) We checked in late at night (right before closing) and were walk-in customers, so by the time we got... More

This was exactly what we needed. Old Florida at it's best. After staying in Key West for several days the quiet was really nice. The staff were very courteous and we found everything to be clean. More

Well, to start with the location and decor: An old motel nestled between two nice parking lots, and comes with a trailer park on one side and random bum looking residents living on premises. Then, the room had a TV that mus've been from the 60's, along with floors that made our socks immediately black and dirty. The coffeemaker was... More

We decided to stay here for 2 nights during a roadtrip around Florida as a budget stop as we were staying in posh places the rest of the time. It was clean enough although definitely needs updating! The "beach" is absolutely not a beach but a nice place to watch the sunset. It was a bit noisy at night but... More

We stayed here for 3 nights with a 20 foot boat. Our room was an efficiency with Queen bed near the small marina. Front desk staff was friendly and the grounds were very well kept. Motel is dated, but rooms have been upgraded. Our only complaint was that the bed was pretty uncomfortable. We plan to return next year and... More
