Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The room was incredibly clean with extra towels and everything we needed. Enjoyed the wrap around balcony. We booked a week before to go fishing with friends so appreciated the more reasonable rate for the size of the place which slept 6 people.

Great experience will definitely stay again. Don't have to deal with a front desk just arrive and input your code, they can still provide someone to help you at any time if needed. Nation famous restaurant within walking distance as well.

Favorite place we stayed on our trip to see Tommy Emmanuel play in Key West (2 night stay). Off the highway a block or so. Large room with King Bed, sofa, recliner, dining table and kitchen. Spotlessly clean. We had room #101 which was perfect with parking right by the door. There's additional parking around the back which is only a few steps as there are only 12 or 16 rooms in the building. Water pressure is good in the shower. The bathroom is very small but adequate. WIFI worked OK. Several eating places close by and very little traffic on the road. The ocean is right across the road. Remote check in was easy at Captain Pip's Marina about 1/2 mile east and there's a dropbox for your keys at the bldg when you leave. At 25-33% of what we would have paid in Key West, it's a great value!

I was there with friends and family for three nights (4 persons) . We have rented the larger unit with two bedrooms. This location is perfect to have a first visit of the keys; it’s almost in the middle of the keys, at one hour drive of Keys West and in town where you will find many restaurants and services. And, the most important, the cost in Marathon is much cheaper if you compare with key West. As I’m not anymore a night bird, I don’t really miss all the night fun we could get in Key West.
Pro: . Wonderful sunset every night. . Large and clean apartment with two private balconies. . Full kitchen with everything you need to cook. . Well located on a small and quiet street. . 2 private bedrooms with air conditioning. . Large pool with chairs. . Internet was working well for my need (but I’m not a streaming user)
Con: . Our apartment was at the third floor: with large suitcases, it’s a challenge! . Air conditioning is really noisy. . The reception is at ± 1 mile from the site and is open only during business hours. We know it before, but it always nice to have someone in duty in case you need it!
You have at few step a restaurant with a magnificent view on the bridge, musicians. It’s a fun place but… the food is not at great at his view and environment. In fact, the food was quiet deceiving! But overall we have really enjoyed the place: that the most important!

Because of the increasing number of Corona Virus cases in the state of Florida in July, our employers informed us of a mandated a two week at home quarantine if we were to go on our planned vacation to the Florida Keys. As we were unable to take two additional weeks off of work, we decided to postpone our much-anticipated trip to the Keys until the virus has run its course through Florida. When we called Captain Pips at Knights Key Inn to request a refund or a credit towards a future stay, we were told that the Florida Keys were not under any restrictions. Unfortunately, our employers don’t distinguish between Florida and the Florida Keys. We were also told that since we had booked through a third party (Hotwire), we were not eligible for a refund or a credit. The four other hotels we had book (all through a third party) in the Keys had no problem issuing us a full refund for our stay. What would it have hurt to issue us a credit for a future stay?

727sand, You booked your trip on June 29, 2020 when the cases were increasing. We unfortunately are unable to offer refunds through third party sites because we already paid our commission on all reservations. So when someone cancels, they receive their money back and we lose the money that was paid on the booking sites. We cannot make exceptions for one person, because if we do, we would have to make exceptions for everyone. We have offered to change your stay to different dates for the future so if you change your mind, the offer still stands! We hope you stay safe and we hope to see you in the future! Thank you, Captain Pips

We booked a two bedroom unit with a pull down bed in the living room and could not have been happier with the room. It was spacious and clean and the location cannot be beat. It overlooks the Seven Mile Bridge and we watched the sunset from our balcony! Sunset Grill is right across the street so we walked over and got on their waiting list (1 hour for a table for 4) and brought their pager back to the room. It worked from inside out unit and we were able to run over and get our table when the pager went off. This was really convenient! The kids used the pool and said it was heated nicely and they enjoyed playing with the pool toys that were provided. Convenient parking right outside our front door. I would definitely stay here again when in Marathon!

We had to climb 3 sets of stairs on the opposite end of the building because the stairs were roped off. This was no fun! There is structural damage we did see a permit but it was unsettling to see. We had tv’s in our 2 bedrooms and they didn’t work. The fridge is filthy. Our bed had stains on it, my cover accidentally popped off ewwww

Great place and very clean and nice inside everything we needed. Price was very affordable and worth it would definitely rent there again if we are ever in the area. Right next to a great restaurant and beautiful view of 7 mile bridge.

The location of this place is amazing! For a "value hotel," it has a million dollar view. It was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom seemed newly remodeled. It was also great to have a table and couch to sit at with my son instead of just the beds. There were only two negatives: 1) the air conditioner was pretty loud when it kicked on and off...not horrible, but enough that it was pretty obnoxious at night. 2) this place is managed "by phone," so there is nobody on site to help with things like check in. Just be aware that when you are going to arrive, you'll have to get settled all by phone. Overall, good value and experience.
