“Quaint hotel, great restaurant/bar next door and perfect for a stop off when travelling through the Keys”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We stayed here en-route to Key West whilst travelling through the Keys in August.

To be honest, the local restaurant was the main reason for staying here but we were more than happy to stay at this hotel as the other reviews were all good.

The room (with separate living room) was very big and extremely comfortable, if a little dated, but that didn't bother us at all.

The restaurant/bar next door (Snappers) had a good varied menu and the live band playing finished the evening off well.

Breakfast in the morning was buffet style but I will say it was one of the best I've ever had and as good as any I've had in a country bed and breakfast in England!

Room Tip: They all looked good to me. I would probably say just try not to be too close to the lifts although...

“Attractive waterfront hotel with excellent breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

We stayed one night at Dove Creek and liked our room and the hotel very much. Room was attractive, good sized, very clean, nice big TV, windows opened out to let the ocean breeze help cool the room down. Bed was memory foam and super comfortable. Conveniently located next to Snapper's Restaurant. Loved the ocean view, nice pool, hammocks and comfy chairs to relax outside. The breakfast was perfect, beautifully presented granolas, hot cereal, cinnamon rolls, fruit, excellent coffee, yogurt, skewers of fresh fruit, also salami & mozzarella & olive skewers (different!) Best of all were the little key lime pies served in little glasses and glasses of yogurt, fruit, granola, very tasty and pretty. Staff was very friendly. We chose Dove Creek after reading reviews and glad we did. Would stay here again for sure on our way driving down the Keys.

Room Tip: Rooms overlooking the ocean are the best.

Thank you for the review on our property. We did just recently put in new Memory Foam mattresses in all rooms and suites, and the feedback from our guests is wonderful.

Our breakfast is not the typical continental served in most hotels. Each morning we make our parfait's, fruit skewers, antipasti salad and key lime tarts. We change out our items seasonally, to use only the freshiest items available. Stop in this month and have pumpkin cheesecake and spice cake bites with dried cranberries and cream cheese.

Hope to see you again soon.

“Wonerful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

My wife and I recently stayed at the Dove Creek Lodge and must say that were were pleasantly suprised witht the stay and accomodations. After searching for a place to stay in the Keys we decided to on the Dove Creek Lodge because of the reviews we read. This hotel turned out to be just what we wanted, a quite, clean and beautiful hotel to spend our three nights. What we loved the most was, it was peaceful and and the view was wonderful. We really enoyed the complimentary contienental breakfast every morning. We stayed in a king suite and the room was great. We took advantage of the free Kayaks as well as the hot tub and swimming pool. I am already recomminding the Lodge to my freinds.

“lovely setting, lovely breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

The rooms have lovely views of the quiet ocean and small marina. The staff could not have been more helpful and really did everything to make sure we were comfortable and happy...which was easy since our room was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise in that it had more than the basics and everything was tasty. The very small pool and outdoor seating areas were our only disappointment and did not lend themselves to long leisurely days outside. But for a two night stay it was perfect.
