If you want to capture the "old Florida" feel, then this is the place to stay! It's very quaint and the cottages are very clean. The mattresses are a bit soft, but the ambiance of the place makes up for it! We only stayed one night on our way to Key West, but we stopped in on our way back through. We would stay there again!! It has a very homey feel and everyone there is extremely friendly.
Another bonus is that Mrs. Macs Kitchen is only 2 doors down and the food there is fantastic!

Well the price of this hotel looked like a steal according to the pictures online. And it did look good from the outside but the hotel is in serious need of TLC. According to some of the reviews it looks like the place to stay so I am wondering if perhaps there is a big difference depending on what room you book. My room was very small. There were ants coming through the door. The bed was so uncomfortable and it made so much noice it was embarrassing. The blanket on the bed had stains on it. The shower used to have a window in it and was all rusted. The mirror above the sink was broken. This room was really in poor condition. I called the Marriott and thank goodness they had availability the rest of the week. If you are looking for a place just to sleep and not spend anytime in then ask for the most comfortable bed they have and go for it. The outside of the hotel is very cute. Not much beach space at all so if you are looking to sunbathe you will have to go up the road to the park...it is sad because this hotel could really be an awesome place to stay.

I really liked the Hungry Pelican, which was a place recommended by our Dive Shop. I would stay at the Pelican again but not use the same dive shop (Silent World).

Tthe covered outdoor check-in and breakfast area adjacent to the entrance to the office was nice (tables and topical setting with a fountain/pond). I also liked the two friendly cats lounging around the property. It was a very homey atmosphere, lush with tropical trees and plants. Breakfast was packaged pastries, muffins, fresh fruit, coffee and juice. The pastries were especially good.

Ozzie is a great asset to that property. He was so helpful and very patient when we checked in and with any needs we had during our stay. We had a room with a kitchen area (stove and kichen table) but we really didn't need it. All rooms have a microwave and refrigerator, which is all we used. It just gave us a large room. Next time I'd stay in a regular room. The size isn't that important because we won't be there much.

The two-dock area gave a nice view, a place to relax and a beach-like area. It was a nice vacation spot.

**Beautiful property - loved the docks at night
**Rooms were small - but really all you need, unless you go on vacation and spend lots of time in your room
(mattreess wasn't the most comfortable)
**Convenient location - close to everything in Key Largo

**Would definitely recommend if you like the small, family, cozy, motel atmosphere!!**

We were unsure after reading some of the reviews, but seeing as we were just stopping later in the evening on our way down to Key West we figured the price was right. As we pulled in the lush atmostphere and coloring lighting was beautiful. We looked the hammock in the sandy beach area. The docks were wonderful at night to walk out on and see the dark ocean and stars. Very peaceful and enjoyable.
