Very good rooms and lovely beds. Good location close to the beach, but no breakfast places or restaurants close by. Long way to the city center. More

The hotel was fine, but we let them know we had to leave one day earlier than planned due to a mix-up in our return flight. The hotel, despite the six days notice, charged us the total amount for that night. Their policy states a three-day cancellation, but apparently if you have arrived that doesn't count. More

Visiting the Florida Keys is much more authentic when you avoid the cookie cutter chain hotels and stay at authentic Florida Keys Motel. I am a bicyclist and I ride the Florida Keys often. I found the El Patio Motel several years ago and have never been disappointed. It is clean, affordable and far enough away from the craziness of... More

I stayed here a few times throughout the years, and have to say this must be one of the best motels I have stayed in! The gentleman at the desk was very nice to show me a room the first time, just so I could picture what I was "getting myself into." I must say I was always impressed with... More

I stayed here on the advice of a coworker yet found myself utterly depressed at the state of the place. It probably hasn't been renovated since 1940. The linens were far from fresh and the bars on the windows left me wondering. Don't count on using the Internet - the network key doesn't work and the front desk isn't the... More

I stayed for a week at the El Patio just before Christmas. I've waited a month before posting a review because I wanted to be able to give an objective opinion. There were things I really liked about this place, others not so much. Pros: -Cost - I looked a long time before booking my reservation and there just wasn't... More

We stayed there this weekend and really enjoyed it. This is an old FL motel that has been kept up nicely. The gardens are beautiful and the we enjoyed the rooftop deck in the mornings and evenings. The rooms are clean and comfortable with original Cuban tile. The motel is situated on the south side of the island close to... More

We've stayed at this hotel twice. Both times because they were much more affordable than other hotels in the area and we could still walk to the heart of the historic district. This hotel has a great retro, Spanish feel with a bougianvillea canopy dripping over the pool area, lush gardens and cactus all around. They have a great rooftop... More

We had a great time! Don't believe every review you see, especially another review of El Patio complaining about "rude management" saying "don't be loud." Thanks, folks, you must have been the LOUD IDIOTS at 2, 3, or 4am on the rooftop deck with a boisterous party. You woke me up, and I was two stories away on the ground... More
