Nice big room. Great air conditioner... Great bed, sink, bathroom, and shower. And great location. Some of the lamp outlets/ USB ports didn't work. Whatever, not really an issue. Parking lot filled up quick but there was ample parking on the street (Sunday/Monday) Friendly guy at check-in. Excellent!

The room was clean, looked good and was spacious. The door howevr was glass and had some kind of bamboo cover that did not cover anything and people could see straight inside if we had the lights on. The main entrance is under construction so we had to walk through gravel to get in which was okaybut someone who needs a flat ground would struggle. Check in experience was easy and staff was pleasant and helpful.

This cute little motel was a perfect spot for a couple nights in Key West. It was walkable to the trolley line and even with some construction work on the new pool it was quiet. The room was darling and clean and front staff was helpful in helping us find things to do.
