I had read the reviews before I booked this accommodation for the night, so I figured my stay would be a crap shoot and could go either way. I was looking for an economical place for my wife, my 23 year old son and me to plop our bodies down for one night after arriving at Key West in the afternoon and sampling South Beach that same afternoon and Mallory Square and Duval Street later in the evening. (We drove in from Cocoa Beach and stayed here on Tuesday, July 29th.)
It was pretty much what I had expected from the reviews so there were really no surprises. The property is situated at the eastern end of Key West. Because we had our own car, getting to Duval Street, Mallory Square, and the beach were not a problem. (I was already prepared to pay 15 bucks for a parking place by Mallory Square so it didn’t bother me when the parking attendant hit me up for the money.) I wouldn’t recommend this property for those without their own transportation.
Upon opening the door to our second floor room I did kill a bug or two, but that was the extent of the creepy crawlers. I didn’t consider this a big deal. Although the room was a bit worn looking, the bedding was clean and the carpet wasn’t that bad. The shower was hot and there were enough towels for the three of us. As mentioned in a previous review, there was a good size gap between the door and the floor but nothing that a bath towel couldn’t fix. Our room was in the back of the facility so there was no problem with noise. We saw the roosters but never heard them in the morning. Our night was very restful.
The continental breakfast in the morning was what I refer to as filler food. It consisted of wrapped up Danish, some juice and fruit. It was nothing to write home about, but it was something to give you some energy to get you moving. And that’s really all that we were looking for.
If you are planning on using this place as headquarters for a full week’s stay in Key West, you may end up frustrated and disappointed. But if you are just looking for a place to sleep for a night or two, and for a pretty cheap price - $110 for the night, taxes included, then this place should fit the bill for you.

Place looks scary from the outside and is VERY dark at night. Suites are huge and seem to have been redone(our full size fridege still had the tape on the crispers) and it was comfy, bed wasnt the best but it worked. The foot traffic sucked it was going on most of the night. We had planned to stay for two night but did just one.

this was our first trip to key west. we were staying for a week with a teenage son. we were so glad we booked a suite, for the additional room. the suite was the size of a one bedroom apartment. the main bedroom was a separate room. the furnishings were sparse but adequate. there were 2 tv's, 2 a/c units which worked fine, one bath with 2 entrances, basic but clean; an island with 2 bar stools, a full size kitchen sink and full size refridgerator and micro; 2 closets and a sofa sleeper. we were on the back side ,so noise was not a problem; nor parking. the room was dimly lit, so we did have to ask for replacement light bulbs to replace the burnt out ones, and for additional towels. the room was clean, no smell, bugs or obvious stains. well worth the extra $10 US per night for the suite to get the extra space. the local chickens were a joy to watch, and not a nuisance at all. there was even a long-legged white water bird that flew into the pool area one day! the continental breakfast is very skimpy, and there's no where to sit.

Where to I start? The room was a mess. The bathroom had been “cleaned” but there was still a hair on the toilet when we arrived and the tub had a broken drain. The bed was broken and the mattresses were saggy and uncomfortable. Not only did the bed make the night long but the air conditioner that worked at half speed couldn’t keep up with the heat. Perhaps it was the large crack in the window that rendered it insufficient. There were footprints on the door, the carpet was filthy and the door on the dresser was missing a handle. The light from the mini fridge shined though the door…all…night…long, and for an extra $30 they would give you the key to us it. The light on the night stand had melted the lamp shade in several spots and the electrical outlets had not affixed correctly leaving gaps into the wall. Outside was the same thing. We didn’t have any problems with chickens but there was a thick smell of peppers that was repulsing. The dumpster was right under the stair. The daily smell of peppers and garbage in the heat was more then evident day and night and never went away for the 4 nights we were there. One of the air conditioners down the hall from our room leaked so badly that there was a towel stuffed under it to catch condensation but it was in vain as a huge puddle developed in the center of the hallway. There are plenty of other places in Key West to stay for comparable money. We recommend different accommodations.
