So happy to read that you enjoyed your stay! I am sorry that you did not get fresh towels. If the towels are hung up back up, we presume that our guests do not want new towels. We try to conserve on water that is very precious here in the Florida Keys. So for guests that stay in the future:... More

We stayed at the Blue Waters Motel two weeks ago. I would rate the room at two stars and the service at five stars. Our room had a full kitchen which is a must when traveling with constantly hungry growing boys. The room was spotlessly clean. Mattresses, bedding and towels were in excellent condition. No mustiness whatsoever. Overall, the room... More

This was a last minute trip and it happened over spring break. I would have given it an excellent except I couldn't get over the price we had to pay. $164.00 (sat.) & $180.00 (sun.) granted it was spring break and the Marathon seafood festival was happening the same weekend and prices all over the Keys were at least double...

Blue Waters trys to provide pricing that is competative. As you stated most other hotels were at least double the price that we were. You are right, we are very lucky to be 2 doors down from the Turtle Hospital. It is one of the best attractions here in Marathon. No matter where you stay do not miss it ! More

We stayed here two nights on our three week trip to discover the "real" Florida. We liked the location - gulf side - with direct access to the water. We had a very warm welcome and given ideas for activities and meals. The motel rooms have seen better days but are generally clean. We were given an "upgrade" to a... More

Glad that you appreciated our clean rooms. Our Housekeeping staff does a great job. We have double checked all the cabinets in the kitchens and bathrooms after reading your review. Happy to hear that you enjoyed our direct water access. It is so relaxing to sit and enjoy the gulf views. There are currently no plans to build next door... More

This is a beautiful older property, right on hwy 1. Most of the rooms have carports. Staff is very nice. The room had a refrigerator and microwave, cable tv and free wi-fi. The beds were quite comfortable! If you need modern luxury, spend $300 a night on key west. If you are ok with an older property this place is... More

Our family had a wonderful experience staying on the Blue Waters Motel Houseboat. First of all, we were given a warm welcome the evening we arrived. Jen had a cancellation for the houseboat and called to see if we might like to have it, while visiting the Keys, since it was our first time there. It was beautiful! We had... More

The management at the property was very helpful and accommodating. The location was wonderful as a central location for day trips north and south. We enjoyed the outdoor seating areas to observe the water. The room, while dated, was clean and everything worked well. Having a kitchen was great! We also appreciated the covered parking. In our search for lodging,... More
