Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was clean and spacious, with all the amenities I needed, such as fresh coffee beans for a perfect morning coffee by the beach. However, there was only one chair and no table in the room. The service was top-notch, with staff readily available and providing excellent suggestions for activities in Marathon and Key West. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the Florida Keys, offering stunning views of the pool and ocean. The dining options were limited, but the nearby breakfast spot was delightful. The facilities were great, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I had a very mixed experience at this hotel. While the room had no view and was next to a liquor store, it was clean and comfortable. The service from the staff was outstanding, despite some oversights with previous guests' dishes. The location is beautiful and serene by the ocean, although the neighboring restaurant wasn't great. The dining experience was poor, lacking access to Wi-Fi, but the fresh vegetables were a positive. Overall, a somewhat average stay with highs and lows.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms, although they could do with some furnishing updates, were very nice and environmentally efficient, providing a clean and comfortable space. The service was great, with helpful staff offering good suggestions for activities, but there were limitations in resolving issues that affected guests' vacations. The location was a major upside, being on a well-kept beach and offering superb surroundings, despite some early morning noise. The dining experience, although offering Italian food, could have been improved with more options. Overall, the facilities were good, with laundry and tours/ticket assistance available.
