In general, spending the night in the Keys can be expensive. I booked this room as a least expensive option and learned that in the Keys, you get what you pay for. At 100 bucks a night, we got an old hotel room. The a/c was loud, the room was rather small for two people and although there was a... More

Booked this at the last minute while traveling through the Florida Keys. The place is old and quite run down, but we were expecting it for the low price we paid (sub $100/ night before taxes). Room was in pretty rough shape and wasn't very clean. The ceiling fan had not been dusted / cleaned in ages. Everything in the... More

Let me first start by saying that this is a 2 star hotel, so those looking for a lavish upscale hotel, this is not it. However, if you are looking for a clean place to put your head in a great location, then this is the place! We stayed here in April and had a good time. We did not... More

I sadly made a reservation at this motel thinking that it was a wonderful place because of all the positive reviews, god was I wrong. I reserved it by phone they told me that it was $118.00 per night and I drove two hundred miles to get there. I think they are racists because I was treated like human garbage.... More

We understand that anyone can write anything on TripAdvisor, and we are just happy to have the chance to tell our side of the story! The real story: This large family of people reserved the smallest and most inexpensive room we have on the property over the... More

My boyfriend and I needed one night for our last day in the Keys. We were staying in Islamorada our whole trip and did not want to go north to Miami or Ft. Lauderdale for the last night.
