Great location, friendly staff and a wonderful stay.
Pros:

The location was great and the staff was very friendly, I love that they have beach chairs and towels available and the parking was fine. The room was a good size and had everything we needed.

Cons:

It was a little dated and had some rough edges, but I didn't really mind it all that much.

Muy buena estadía
Pros:

Me encantó lo servicial de las personas a cargo del hotel . Sevim tuvo una actitud excelente un día que no encontrábamos parking y también nos envió a nuestra casa el documento de identidad que nos habíamos olvidado. Es un placer tener gente que te soluciona los problemas cuando estás de vacaciones .Muy contentos !!!

Très bien pour y passer la nuit.
Pros:

L'emplacement est exceptionnellement près de la plage et de la rue Commercial pour ses terrasses. Le site propose une piscine avec chaises longues, un endroit charmant.

Cons:

La senteur lorsque l'on rentre dans la chambre, mais elle se dissipe rapidement lorsque nous partons le ventillateur.

.
Pros:

Great location. Large rooms. Comfortable staff. Plenty of parking. Close to beach and local amenities. Quiet area within easy walking of local bars and shops.

Cons:

Yes there are parts that would benefit from updating, but remember you are in 'old Florida' and this building blends in with its surroundings.

Coral Key Inn
Pros:

There were 2 bathrooms with showers.

Cons:

The facility is an actual beach house not a hotel and per pictures it showed it was close to the beach. Beach was blocks away. It was not what we expected. A/C actually did not kick on at night only if you open the door to outside, so it was very uncomfortable at night. Difficult to breath. It was very musty.

a decent, spacious stay
Pros:

helpful staff, spacious accommodation, well equipped/stocked, functioning A/C, good location

Cons:

the space is definitely showing its age; minor cleaning improvements needed between guests (dust and sand found throughout rooms); parts of the floor were softening (making me nervous I might break through); only electrical outlet near the bed was between the mattress and the wall

Older property but owners apparently tried jury rigging many items. One night stay but not for us!
Pros:

Murphy bed was not comfortable. Bath tub / shower platform had worn tape holding the shower strip together!
