We pre-booked Southwinds because of the difficulty in finding rooms in Key West at the last minute, even out of high season; and we were influenced by price in this expensive town. So we were not surprised to find that the motel presented a well-used appearance: bits of our room verged on the dilapidated. However, everything was clean and working:... More

Do not stay here...we paid inflated holiday prices only be be attacked by bed bugs and experience the most horrible night of our lives! Our room looked clean and simple and the motel nicely located, little did we know what lurked behind- it literally ruined our trip! Worse yet, the front desk manager (who looked and acted like a drug... More

This is your basic clean, cheap (by Key West standards) motel. No friills but did have a small refrigerator which worked well. While it is located just one block off Duval (the "happening" street) it is over a mile from the Mallory Square end of Duval where the sunset "event" and most of the action is. Trolleys (at $19pp per... More

This property offers incredible value. We were able to park the car, no extra cost, right near the room. The room was clean and the property, while being modest, was well kept. The maid cleaned up every day, no exceptions. The pool was clean and very refreshing on the several hot days we were there. The staff were accommodating. The... More

Think twice before staying at this motel. There are hidden cameras everywhere, which means that either they are spying on guests or that they are experiencing a lot of crime. We found out only after we left about all the cameras and now we feel very unfomfortable, not knowing if there are cameras inside the rooms as well. The cameras... More

We stayed during Labor ay weekend, and Southwind's rates were the best in town. We got a room with two souble beds. Room was large and clean, as was the bathroom, and there was this odd walk-in closet that was huge. The air conditioning worked perfectly well. When you took a shower, you needed to ventilate the bathroom by opening... More

I have stayed several times and they seem to always keep fixing up the place.Rooms are clean but some are a bit small. I dont stay at motels and hotels for the grandeur of the room,I stay for the roof over my head and a clean room and bed. Security is great here and I never worry about problems. Pool... More

The lady who owns this place gave us a decent discount because we were good sports about the renovation work going on in the morning, and let us stay past checkout time which we felt was fair and reasonable. Duval street and a few key West beaches are within convenient walking distance of the motel, so you don't have to... More
