The hotel was reasonably priced and while a little dated, the rooms were large and clean. The staff was SUPER nice. All in all, a great place to stay a couple nights in the keys at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!

Cute place!

Loved the location of our room-we could easily get coffee and head out to sit and watch the sunrise. Ice machine broken so that was a bummer but the staff was phenomenal especially when allowing us to check in early.

If you are looking for a hotel on the smaller side, this is a winner. The room was nice and very clean. Small pool, some beachy area to sit, bbq’s, and a parrot enclosure that was entertaining. It’s in a good location for Islamorada restaurants. If you’re looking for a large property and pool with lots of amenities, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for quiet and clean in a good location, I recommend this hotel.

Overall the property was nice, very clean. The property and rooms themselves are smaller than I expected, but that said still worked out well. There is a pool which was very clean. The beach area is small. No place to fish from shore. The dock shown in the photos belongs to the resort next door and there is no access. Cleaning staff was there every day and were very courteous.
