“Did not get a room!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

Booked a room at this Motel the night before we traveled to Key West and after the long journey to get there on arrival we were told that the room was not available because of a plumbing problem!!!

No apology was given, however the Receptionist told us that she had reserved a room at another Motel which was a far way from the Harborside.

We asked if we could use the Restroom and was told that we could not.

When we turned up at the next Motel which was very basic and we were charged for two nights when we only stayed one night.

“great but far from duval”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

We really enjoyed this place and the prices. You definitely need a scooter or vehicle to get around old town. too far for walking! If you need a cabbie at night this guy is VERY reliable and safe. He works m-th 8pm to 8am! Pete 305-731-9741 $6 . Don't drink and drive! Staff VERY friendly! We spent 5 nights here. Would stay again!

“clean rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012 via mobile

we stayed here for 2 nights with €68 coupon which was a good price especially for the weekend.

room: wierd smell when we walked in but very very clean, tiny TV(not a problem because we barely watched it), nice little kitchen area inc microwave, toaster, fridge, plates etc. nice bathroom but dodgey door that was very difficult to open. little patio over looking car park with table and chairs.

location: took us 20 mins to walk to duval street. taxi cost was €8 back. on harbor (there were some nice looking harbor view rooms). clean pool, barbeque area and laundry (€1 washer€1.50 dryer) on site.

service: only met one woman but she was very nice and helpful. our room was cleaned
well however there wasn't a 'do not disturb' sign so we didn't know if we would be woken early by cleaners, luckily we weren't.

overall a nice little motel and a good bargain, we would stay there again.

“Key West on the Down Low”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Found this motel by doing a google search and trip advisor reviews were good, so i booked it. Like other reviews place is really nice and was renovated 1.5 years ago. Reminder this motel is not within walking distance to Duval or Mallory Square for sunsets. We were there in the off season so we decided to park at Westin Hotel Garage by the hour.

We had the Kitchen Unit by the pool and here are the pro's:
Full size coffee maker, Toaster, Full size Fridge/Freezer, 4 Burner Stove/Oven, small microwave,small kitchen table and 2 chairs, Wi-Fi was very usable and pretty fast, Patio from room, Gazebo on grounds near docks, 2 gas grills, new doors/windows, laminate floors, washers/dryers near pool area, & fresh paint over the entire facility. We did see signs that stated no coolers in rooms and i think it was more for people that were fishing.

A couple of con's:
TV was on the smaller side, no living room style chair, and it did take a long few minutes for hot water to travel to the room, once it was there it was hot and did not run cold.

over all very nice pleasant stay with no complaints - they did have bag ice in office at a reasonable price. Office hours were 8a - 8p

Cost was just above $100 per night and we stayed 3 nights. It was very relaxing after spending time at beach or duval and mallory square area.
