In a quest to explore the keys, we selected this place to stay. First off they do not have a way of accepting online reservation; therefore you must call and give away your cc number over the telephone. From my understanding this has 2 sides the Key Lantern and the Blue fin, the later is newer, I stayed in the... more

My husband and I were looking for a cheap place to stay on a saturday night before driving on to KW. This motel was recommended through TA and I went in expect a basic motel (not hotel by any means) and it was exactly that. There were trailers right across our room, but we didn't see people sitting out there... more

This motel was recommended by a friend. We arrived and found the place to be old and run down but otherwise clean and affordable. It seems to be part of the trailer park that is on the premises but it was ok. We just needed a place to crash for the night and for $55 it was worth it. The... more

We stayed at the Blue Fin Inn Feb 25-Feb 29, 2008. To start the reveiw the Blue Fin Inn is an old school mom and pop motel. The motel was reccomended by a co-worker who had stayed here before and had told me it was just a basic motel. I emailed the motel for availablility then made my reservations about... more

The reviewer who wrote the review about the "Brick Rooms" (which is the Key Lantern Hotel side of this double hotel) was 100% on the mark. I stayed in room 2 on February 25th and it was a dump! Stay somewhere else folks - go for the extra bucks. You get what you pay for ! more

Now, I knew this was going to be a "Mom & Pop" motel from the 1950's, but it was worse than I expected. Springs popped through the bed, so I had to buy a sleeping bag to put over the mattress. The place was old and dirty, the chairs were filthy with stains, I wouldn't even sit on them. No... more

We stayed at Key Lantern for only one night, which was just as well, since the mattresses sagged in the middle, and we didn't sleep well. Our room had two double beds, air conditioning, ceiling fan, a large table with four chairs, two armchairs, a closet and some drawer space, There was no phone, clock, or safe. The small TV... more

Going from Fort Lauderdale to Key West, my girlfriend were stopping for a night to do some diving in the Key Largo area. We were looking for someplace inexpensive, clean and quiet, and the Key Lantern Inn met those needs. It is not a resort, so the amenities found in resorts do not exist - no pool, no restaurant, and... more

The old saying 'you get what you pay for' is definitely true in this case, and we paid roughly $40 / £20 per night. Some might call it rustic, but I call it very, very basic. Our room had exposed brick walls, the cold grey kind - not very attractive. The floor throughout was the school toilets kind. The wardrobe... more
