“Like Friendly Service? Look for Another Place”

Popp's Motel

18 Jan 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

The place is ok, I guess. You get a nice room (that if you like pastels cause it looks like 1956), a kitchen with a full set of cookware (good for you if you are planning on cooking on your vacation), a little piece of sand on the beach, and a few palm trees. This is all on a plus side. What you might not get is customer service. One little detail that owners neglect to mention to you on the phone is - after 6pm you will not get any attention what-so-ever. Not in person, not on the phone. Must be the “Keys” thing. When I booked the room it never crossed my mind to ask for any special treatment, such as late check in. I called from Miami the night before trying to confirm the reservation. It should have alerted me when noone picked up, but I figured I’d try the following day. The next day I did not get a chance to call until a little after 6pm. Noone picked up again and noone returned my message that night. I have never been to Keys before and was hesitant to drive all the way there without any indication I would find that place or in fact any human beings there. I found hotel in Miami for that night. When I got to Popp’s the following day, owner requested I paid for the night I was not there claiming that late check in was arranged (who knows how!). The woman did not seem to be concerned with her lack of communication and blamed no show on me. After long, unpleasant negotiation I still had to pay half of the night. Better but still not a fair deal. And you cannot see the sunset from the property. Hope this helps you with your travel planning.

“Going downhill fast”

Popp's Motel

5/5 found this review helpful

Myself and other family members have been staying here for many years on our various Keys trips.
Altho it is by far the lovliest beach on the bayside, the property has been sadly going downhill. Trash cans never emptied, beach littered. Landscaping very neglected. Some rooms were closed due to septic problems. We are considering staying elsewhere this next trip., but really will miss the nice beach and long history we have with the location.

“Lovely Palm Trees and Beach”

Popp's Motel

25 Apr 2005
10/10 found this review helpful

We have stayed at Popp's for over 10 years--it just keeps getting better and better. Four generations of the Popp family have provided excellent service and traveler info. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great historic features. A real sandy beach is a joy with spectacular sunsets that all the guests come out on the dock to watch. Lots of space on inside and out--only 9 rooms provide great privacy. We will be back next year to stay a month!

“The price was right”

Popp's Motel

18 Apr 2004
15/15 found this review helpful

Popp's was definitely worth the price. The location was great (right in Key Largo) and it had its own private beach. We could have spent an entire day at just Popp's if we had wanted to.

Plenty of space for lounging, BBQing, and water activities.

Our efficiency was clean and well furnished.

I would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

“Fun Little Place”

Popp's Motel

15/15 found this review helpful

We stayed at Popp's for 2 days, went snorkelling at Pennekamp. It was a clean, comfortable, no frills 50s style motel. The private beach was lovely with a small play area for kids. The room was only $100 a night and was pretty big with a decent sized kitchen, not bad! If you stay here you can walk to Harriette's for breakfast - Delicious!
