Very Good

A classic property in the old style of the lower keys from the 70s. Even though rooms are a bit dated, they are very clean with a great floating dock to moor your boat. Nice marina right next door with a good ramp. If your game is to fish the back country this is your place.
Location is good. Close to Key West with a comparatively affordable price. Would be nice if they had a beach for swimming. Facilities also need some uplifting.
Room was nice and clean. Great property and super helpful and friendly staff:

Overall good stay - staff was nice and helpful, and the place is clean and on the water. It is very much in need of a facelift, but we would stay again despite that.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool and beautiful view. Very quiet too. Even though some of the stuff in the room needed some updates it was still clean and comfortable.
Room was spotless. Staff were friendly and helpful

We had a great stay at the Sugar Loaf. Room was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful view from our balcony. Yes, rooms are dated but we liked the nostalgia. We will stay here again the next time we visit the Keys.

Very clean and friendly environment. Clerk asked if he could carry our bags upstairs for us as there is no elevator. No coffee in available in the rooms but a fantastic coffee bar in the tiki tabernacle with great a view open till 11:00. Quiet, peaceful and would do again.

It was a time capsule! If you like the '70's vib, it is great. The rooms were clean. The pool was clean.
Great location! The tiki bar hasn't been used as a bar in a long time. However, it was a nice place to sit and have a morning coffee. Oh, The views were awesome!
Love Sugarloaf Lodge,a part of the Keys ,how it used to be, close to KW,always a peaceful place to stay & enjoy.

The staff was friendly, the Lodge is severely in need of restoration/remodel. Rooms are very outdated, the outside tiki bar looks like it’s been abandoned for years. If you’re just looking for a reasonable place to stay and don’t really care about the outdated facility, this is your place. Overall our stay was pleasant and the room was clean.
Staff was wonderful. Room is sweet and on pretty piece of water. Aging property, but well kept. Quiet, clean, good shower, comfy beds. Quick trip to key west. Great deal for the money. Very happy this is where we landed.
Convenient location, free parking, good view of the bay, friendly staff.

Room was very old/dated/run-down. Water at the sink came out in a slow trickle. Ants in bathroom.
View out the window was great. Front desk people were friendly.
The room was clean but a little tiered, there was no coffee maker, iron. The AC was noisy, but overall not bad , the staff was attentive and willing to please
