10/10 Excellent

While the property is older the rooms were clean and cold which was much appreciated. Staff was excellent and friendly. I was a little worried as the seal around the doors and the AC unit could stand to be addressed but no issues and the room served it's purpose. The TV is very small but who goes to Key West to watch TV? Overall I was pleasantly surprised and would stay at the motel again.
