    Parking spot! People on both sides of me recklessly parked too close to the line, one dented my door and both cars careless parking made it impossible for us to pull in. Complaint to desk caused the front desk to move us. I felt the car owners should have been called and told to straighten out their vehicles.

    Extremely clean, well appointed motel. Walking distance to Duval Street Quiet rooms, faux wood floors, no gamey motel carpet. AC was powerful and water pressure was strong.

    I can not think of anything. If I ever have the chance to get down to Key West again I will definitely stay with you and will recommend you motel to anyone who asks.

    Loved the room, breakfast, location, pool and the exceptional staff that could not help us enough in helping us navigate through Key West froim where to get the free bus to where to go to church!

    Breakfast was primarily bread products, yogurt, apples and coffee.

    Very well located within a block of Duval St. Limited parking available for a modest fee. Within two blocks of the free bus route. Walking distance to restaurants. Free continental breakfast. Large swimming pool.

    A little bit far from the quay bars and restaurants and in the heat it feels further but that’s only a very small gripe.

    Located just off Main Street and close to all attractions. Parked right outside the room $15 extra per day but you do know about this ahead of your stay. Pool was clean and enough furniture for everyone. Breakfast was basic but ample for what we wanted. This was one of the cheapest accommodations in the area but we were not disappointed.

    Tripped on block stair in front of main lobby door at night. Step is dark and there is poor lighting at night. I'm still recovering a week later.

    Location was great. Handy that they have two sinks. Liked the walk in shower. Staff came and cleaned up a coffee mug I dropped and broke in the room (they wouldn't let me do it). He did a very thorough job of getting all the glass.

    I didn't realize we were close to South Beach. It would be a nice feature to be tell guests what the closest beaches and major attractions are the closest to your motel.

    Parking spaces too small. Almost impossible to have enough room to park and exit your vehicle if anybody is parked next to you.

    Very good location. Staff was very courteous.

    Breakfast had limited options.

    Great location just one block off Duvall St. Room appears to have been recently updated. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. Nice pool. Quiet location. Breakfast was basic but there’s a permanent food truck at the front of the motel which served breakfast and lunch. Also many restaurants near by.
