Piccolo motel delizioso
Pros:

Piccolo motel in posizione molto comoda per scoprire le keys. All'esterno è presente un patio privato con doccia che conduce alla piscina e alla spiaggia. Davanti alla camera è possibile parcheggiare l'auto.
Accanto c'è un pub che offre cibo e drink.. peccato non averne potuto usufruire perché l' aereo ha ritardato.

Cons:

L' aria condizionata è un po' rumorosa

Quaint beach bar hideaway.
Pros:

Don’t be fooled by the outside. Pulling up we expected a motel vibe because of its location on the highway. We went into the room and it was super clean and nice. Out the back is a tropical little path leading to the pool and bar. Checking in we received a welcome drink each. Fun! Very cute dock to watch the sunset on.

It was clean. That’s about all I can say. I will not stay here again.
Pros:

To be perfectly honest, we were very disappointed. Not what we were expecting.

Cons:

It looked shabby from the outside. Nothing comfortable to sit on. Certainly couldn’t see the sunset. The person next door had the TV on loud all night.

Pros:

Not much

Cons:

It was not at all as it was presented on bookings website. We didn't book it for the price, we thought it was actually on the water and maybe a group of cottages or bungalows. Rather it was run down roadside not tell motel. The rooms were way outdated, the water in the bathroom sink barely trickled out, the floors were dirty, the a/c was extremely noisy, the not so private and cozy veranda was un kept. We didn't want or expect something like the Cheeka Lodge but we sure weren't expecting what we got. The owners have missed a real opportunity to have converted this place in a nostalgic olde Florida stay, rather they boast the " keys oldest, longest held liquor license and cater to the local bar crowd.

Wäre gerne länger geblieben!
Pros:

Wir hatten eine eigenen kleine Terrasse mit Außendusche und direktem Zugang zum Pool. Das Zimmer war sauber und hatte eine passende Größe. Abends spielte eine Liveband, die sehr gut war. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut!

Cons:

Der Preis des Essens war doch sehr hoch.
Es kamen Gäste mit Booten in die Bar, die dann auch zusammen mit den Hotelgästen den Pool nutzten. Da wurde es dann doch im Pool arg voll.

Cons:

With slightly old/worn facilities and essentially a side of road motel, cost should have been at least 50% of the $300+ per night price
