There is no pool its under construction. Outside looks a little run down but our room looked updated and clean. free parking but not many other amenities. Not to far of a walk from the southern most point but if your looking for most of the main party bars on duval its in the opposite end, far walk. Not a bad property for the price.

This is a very nice motel. Friendly staff, very clean and remodeled rooms. I do have a couple negatives: 1) the pool: it is still being remodeled and that should have been advertised! Apparently they just filled it with water the last couple days, but there is still construction. And with the beaches not being swim beaches that much, that was a big disappointment. 2) “Night life”: some fellow neighbors decided to have some loud conversations and smoking weed. We could smell it through the windows that are still the very old tilt glass windows. They did lower their voices after asking them. But later there were more doing the same two things. 3) The coffee creamer is old or simply got hard due to the humidity?!? Never had that in any other motel so far. 4) the lights at night being on in front of the rooms. That is definitely great for people being outside when it’s dark. But if you like sleeping in the dark, that is not happening. Even with the blinds down as they are only paper blinds. Other than that, it was a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend this motel to others!

What a little gem this was. We decided to head to Key West for a day trip with our kids and needed a place to land for the night. This place was perfect. Close to everything, Hader was amazing at check in, kind and thoughtful. The room was Beautiful! They are renovating, so theres some evidence of that on property, but we stayed in a newly renovated room and were very happy. Thank you. Parking was also easy and free. We would definitely recommend and will be back.
