Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Plenty of parking on property, cool location right on the water, very limited office hours, extended delays in getting anything we requested (iron and ironing board, toilet paper, extra towels - took overnight to get them). Saw many different employees who must all work very few hours - office was often closed. 2 pools were clean and comfortable, but right next to outdoor restaurant or along road so pools were pretty loud, pool towels only available in office which was rarely open, staff were polite and friendly when they were there. Beds and pillows were comfortable, temperature in room was good, floors felt sticky, small shower with no shelves to put anything, decor was cute, fridge and microwave worked.

This was our 3rd stop, as my husband and I had been exploring The Keys with our starting point being in Key West. We stayed 2 nights here. We were looking for an affordable and clean place to stay. I was attracted to the location being that it sits on a canal and is a marina as well. I paid a little extra through booking,com for a bottom floor room that opens to the canal. If we stay here in the future, we would not choose that option again. People were literally fishing directly in front of the entrance to our room and had claimed the outside chairs that I’m pretty sure were meant for our room. Just a lot of foot traffic in front of and directly beside our room that we didn’t like. I would have liked for “our space” to have been more clearly defined. Our other gripe is that they have lights on outside the room all night long that shone into our room interfering with our sleep. We need a nice cool, dark room to sleep good at night. We understand the need for lighting at night for security but they absolutely need to get blackout shades for the rooms to help with blocking the light. The bed was comfortable, I wasn’t a fan of the bed spread- cheap and scratchy but I could deal with that. The room itself was nice enough and clean enough for the value. As mentioned in other reviews, you absolutely cannot check in until 4:00, don’t even try. We tried to check in in around 3:05pm and the person working the front office seemed a little irritated with the request.. she was much more friendly when we came back at 4:00 however. It is located in Tavernier which is in between Islamorada and Key Largo, which was a great spot to explore from. If we ever stay here again, I would definitely request a different room to help more privacy and maybe the lighting situation isn’t as bad on the 2nd floor. Also, highly recommend the little restaurant called What The Fish? Which right beside the Inn, great food and service!

We stayed for two nights in November and we had a very comfortable stay. A good stay over type place when travelling down to Key West, and though the room was compact we found found the room to clean and functional. I treat this place as a motel, you’ll need a car to find places to eat as there is nothing on site.

It was clean, but it was old and small. Walls are thin, manager did laundry until after midnight keeping me awake. Heard neighbors singing before 9am. The bed is fine, but there is nowhere to sit besides an uncomfortable wooden chair. There is a TV with cable but no access to streaming. You can either have a high pressure cold shower or a hot shower, but not both. For a lower price, you can have a penthouse hotel room in Miami and take transportation to mangroves/snorkeling or other activities you might seek in the keys. This is the most overpriced hotel room I have ever booked.
That being said, my room was right by the creek - I saw dolphins at night and you might see manatees and other cool sea creatures. The view of the creek is good and ideal if you want to fish from your hotel room. Still not worth the price for me.

We have stayed here before and had an overall good experience, but not this time. Mainly because the service and grounds maintenance is so poor. You have to ASK to have your room made-up. We posted our door hanger for room service, as instructed, but still no service came for multiple days. We requested service in person and got new towels and our garbage emptied, nothing more. The in room coffee is never replenished and they only give you decaf. The outdoor BBQ/sitting area used to be nice but now they leased half of it to commercial fishing boats so there are forklifts, pallet stacks and trash all over and no maintenance or cleaning. Most of the canal private boat parking is leased out to the neighboring boat rental business instead of for guests, so outside your room is a bunch of stored rental boats. Our rooms toilet was literally broken from the rusted floor bolts and rocked side to side when you sat on it. The once nicely tiled floor and shower was filthy with caulking all over. There just is little to no effort going into this place and it shows. While priced lower than many Keys places, it is far from inexpensive at an average $280/night for our stay. The location is good but we will not be coming back here again.

My wife and I stayed here 2/26 & 2/27/2024. Upon arrival, we were told to hang the “service room” sign on the door the next morning if we needed new towels and/freshen the bed. We did so at 11AM, and were gone until 9PM. When we returned, the room hadn’t been touched, and all of our towels were where we had left them—on the floor. Secondly, the blinds didn’t block out the light from the outside coach light so the room was quite bright all night. While it was clean, the place is old and seen better days. We won’t be back.

We stayed four nights for a diving trip in the area. At over $200. a night for the room, I expected better service and room conditions. The room was musty smelling and caused breathing problems. People were in the pool below us until early morning hours, until 4 am one morning with music blaring and people yelling. Could hear laughter, music and moving around in adjoining rooms so sleep was impossible. Called the office, no answer. Apparently, there is no staff overnight. Although internet is supposed to be available, it didn't work. Requested an extra towel since I have long hair and only two towels in the room. Was told we couldn't get an extra towel -- it's policy. After bringing the issues up to staff and to Ronny, owner/manager? he assured us he would have someone clean the room and check the air conditioner. Never happened. He did provide an extra towel the day before checkout. I took out the garbage daily. We tried to contact him upon checkout but no answer and didn't return the call. We really feel we should have been given a partial refund. I would recommend looking for a different place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights (3/11 - 3/17/2021). We had a standard king that faced the parking lot (not the courtyard as the information suggests) and was small, dark and dismal. There was a light that hung outside of the frosted window, so the room was lit up all night long, but the only way to actually see outside, was a tiny sliding window in the bathroom. The room was pretty clean and remodeled recently, but the shower had no water pressure and never really got hot. We asked the front desk on the third day to have it looked at, but that never happened!! The front desk is ran by three young kids that have no personality. I don't think that I ever got a smile and another guest told me that she got an eye roll when she asked too many questions!!! When we got in before 4 for check-in, we asked for a place to change until we were able to get into our room. We were sent to the restaurant next door to use their bathroom. Very poor customer service. There are two pools, but only the one next to the restaurant can be used. Not sure why??? Our room was over $300 a night after tax and was like staying at a Motel 6 and worth $35 a night. I would never recommend the wasted money on this location to anyone that wants to enjoy the Florida Keys. Do your research, there are so many better locations to stay.
A plus to the area is the restaurant next door that serves great food. This was a great place for breakfast and nice that we only had to walk next door. There is also a Paddle shop down the road (easy walk) that rents kayaks and paddle boards that can be used in the canals, a seafood restaurant that was open on the weekend and a bait/charter store a few doors down. These places were a plus to the location.

This is a bitter sweet review. The hotel has been renovated but the wear and tear is showing. The walls are thick so it was a very quiet sleep. Bed comfortable. Bathroom sink faucet was loose and dripping. See my photo of what the walls look like. I paid way more than I ever should for this mediocre place. But it was close to where we parked the boat (which wasn’t there, due to the enormous cost). The front desk would NOT let us into the room before 4:00 so don’t even ask to get in early. I would not go back to this motel.

This hotel was sort of a mixed bag. Location was awesome, descent rates and it was really cool being on the canal where they have chairs for you to sit and watch the water (saw a manatee).
However, despite the rooms being newly renovated, the building is obviously old. It smelled kind of funky and they had a sign over the toilet that said “please do not flush your toilet paper, place it in the garbage, our plumbing cannot handle it.” Who says that?! I paid almost $200 for a one night stay and I can’t flush my sh** covered toilet paper down the toilet? I’d stay here again if I needed too but it’s certainly not my first choice.
