My weekend started out with me saying "I need to get out of dodge and run away". I live just up on the mainland in Homestead and wanted to visit Pigeon Key as it was the 100 anniversary of Flagler's first complete train to Key West. I'm not rich, not even 'comfortable' in some standards so I was looking for... More

You would think a small family owned property would at least carry amazing customer service for such a poorly maintained property. I was cursed out by the front desk manager, "Christian" for calling to change my wake up call more than once. When I went to confront him about his poor customer service and to check out to go to...

I agree with the stay in your car sentiment. Smelled so strong of lysol or something that we had to keep patio doors wide open to air out. Looked dirty; didn't want to touch anything. Swimming pool the size of a double hot tub. Outlet in bathroom didn't work. Shower curtain full of mildew. Dirty kleenex left in bathroom; hair... More

It's a great value-priced property. If you are looking for deluxe 5 star accomodations, you're not going to find it the Keys for $129/night! YT has a few cottages on a white sand beach, with tables and chairs outside. It has a little fishing pier, but the water is shallow there, mostly grass flats. Perfect for a bottle of wine... More

We booked this hotel through booking.com - it was nothing that it claimed to be. First of all it was suppose to have a fishing pier which it did but the water was about 8 inches at high tide. They claimed a beach that was such a mess, also water was about ankle depth. The tide brought a terrible odor.... More

Arrival quite a shock. Grumpy guy at front desk who seems rather resentful of your business and would definitely not recommend us anything in the area. Sheets stained and pillows covered in hairs from previous guests. View on garbage bins and highway for 100$ a night. Everything is rusted and old and falling apart and the window airco from the...

We stayed in a free standing cottage right on beach. Staff was helpul and friendly, cottage was clean and comfortable. Pool next door was bigger so we used that one. Lots of beach . Flats were great to walk out quite a way. Fished the flats , lots of fun. Cottage was well worth the price, very reasonable vacation spot.... More

Where to start?? Well, Once we got there and they assigned us the room, it was supposed to have a Kitchenette, but it didn't but honestly that wasn't really the problem. The problem was the smell of room, was like if the wasn't opened to anyone for the last 6 month, was horrible honestly. We requested another room that wasn't... More
