Small but clean room and bath. Who comes to Key West to stay in their room? It was 2 blocks from the Southernmost Point and beach and very easy access to Duval street and its many restaurants, bars and shops. For $99/night, we felt it was a great bargain and would definitely to there again. More

Came to Key West late in the evening without reservation. The man at the reservation office were very friendly and helped out in accomodating 6 adults and 4 children in the two remaining rooms. We stayed one night only. The rooms were clean when we got them. More

We arrived around 5pm without a reservation and were pleased to find a reasonably priced room at the Spanish Garden Motel. The guy at the front desk, don't remember his name, was FANTASTIC!!! He told us all about Key West, including which areas to stay away from. He was honestly the most helpful staff person we've encountered anywhere. The hotel... More

First off I love Key West! I have been there twice... the first time I stayed at the Ocean Breeze Inn (which was adorable, but staff were so-so on the friendly scale) and then most recently I stayed at the Spanish Gardens Motel. It is in a perfect little location (well to me anyways).... the walk to the end of... More

We didn't have a reservation and (luckily) found 2 rooms at this motel. They didn't jack-up the price & were super friendly. They even let us (4) stay in a room that only slept 3, at no extra charge. It's 1 block from Duval street & the Southermost Hotel; 2 blocks from the southermost point. Check-in & check-out was quick... More

We didn't have much time to hunt around for location to stay when my son and his fiancee decided to get married in Key West a couple of months ago. They didn't realize that they'd selected St. Patrick's Day weekend, a super-busy time, and vacant, AFFORDABLE rooms were at a premium. Spanish Gardens was a pleasant surprise. At $189 per... More

Just returned a few days ago with MDO from an extraordinary week at Spanish Gardens Motel! We found the place to be very clean, great location and an extremely helpful and kind staff. We were there in super high season so the price was pretty high but affordable. The staff was kind to us and very accommodating! I highly recommend... More

I always stay at the Gardens each time I visit Key West. The rooms are clean and bright. Being within walking distance to the Southernmost Beach and Duval Street, they make it very easy to take in the action Key West is famous for. My friends are always impressed with my choice. More

If your into retro looking rooms, then this is your place. Rooms are super small. the bathroom is very small. Two of you can not be in there at the same time and you have to maneuver your way around to shut the door. There are no frills here. The bed spreads have been around since the 60's along with...
