Absolutely love this place. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Have signs everywhere about being quiet after 9. :00. Pretty little beach. I would give it five stars but at the time of my stay there was no microwave in the room. There was quite a bit of jellyfish washed up on to the beach in the morning so I would be sketchy about swimming.

Overall impression staying here; we would come back. If you’re looking for an on the beach property in a good location this is it. The beach is private, the seating is great, there’s a heated pool on the beach if the ocean is on the colder side.If you’re looking for a five star spot with nice rooms then this isn’t the place to stay. The rooms are very old with few amenities. They were clean and not uncomfortable, but small and outdated. There is a larger mini fridge in each room but the only microwave is in the office (not a deal breaker but inconvenient). The breakfast wasn’t bad, there were plenty of options to grab and go. There is coin laundry on site ($6 a load) and an ice machine (always empty on nice days). You’re paying for beach front convenience /access staying here not the room or service.Rooms: Small, outdated, mini fridge, no other amenities in room, loud window AC units.Walkability: Not much nearby besides restaurant next door.Noteworthy details: On the beach with nice beach amenities.

First, the bad: it’s a bit pricey, the service could be friendlier and the breakfast was very rudimentary (i.e. take a muffin out of the fridge, heat it in the microwave and find a place to eat it) I can’t complain much about the room as it was pretty decent for a motel, even though a bit on the older side.Fortunately, apart from this, we had a good time here. The beachfront is unique, especially at dusk. We liked the heated pool as the sea was quite cold in January. The parking was very conveniently located: right in front of our room. If we were to come back to the Keys, we would certainly consider staying here again.

Perfect location with a beautiful beach. I’ve read mixed reviews but ended up very happy with my choice to stay here. The check in person was very pleasant, efficient and was proficient in English. Earlier in the day staff were fine but their limited English made communication a bit of a challenge, but was ultimately manageable. Rooms were clean but a bit dated overall, but not unexpected. Bathroom had been updated with a walk in shower and comfort height toilet, new sink and mirror. Refrigerator was larger than many hotels but rooms lack a microwave. Continental breakfast (free/included) was better than I expected for a non-chain motel.Delightful sandy beach with beautiful views.Only complaint would be the excessive stench of marijuana. I got up to watch sunrise and was initially the only one around … a bit later I thought “ oh God, did a skunk just walk by me?” … then I figured out … nope just people smoking. We noticed in every time we were in the beach area. Keyless entries would be a nice update at the property.

Location was good with a small personal beach area and next to a restaurant with music you could walk to. Rooms weren't bad but not up to date. Daily room cleanings. Breakfast was very good just quick snacks and little space to sit. They did seem to be making improvments.

The room was incredibly clean, the a/c worked great, the bathroom was nice and updated. It is right on the beach and has a nice pool and view of the ocean.

This place is a real hidden gem! The views of ocean are amazing; as are the beach and shaded palm area! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We will be staying here again.

Well, let me first say that I've stayed here before with no issues. However this last time on September 7, 2023 we checked in before 3 went to our room and immediately changed to go to the ocean and relax. Went to dinner then came back to hang out under the stars, went to go to bed and when I pulled the sheets back I was horrified to find these bugs on the pillows under the comforter. I was so grossed out but texted the number on the door to let them know as no one was in the office. The person answered saying they would notify the manager. But never said anyone would come to put us in another room (there were only maybe 4 other rooms in use) when I explained I can't sleep in this bed. So at 10:30 pm we headed to another place to sleep. When I contacted the manager the next day was told that I would receive half my room rate but that never happened. I also called to speak with the manager who was rude saying we weren't getting any money back and florida has bugs! It's not my first trip to the keys and I know bugs can be anywhere but I don't have to sleep with them! No one made an effort to make this right! These bugs are termites and no one in their right mind would have laid their head down where they were. Sorry. I would not recommend staying here unless you check the sleeping quarters before you sign! Manager was very rude in regards to this matter. I will be planning a call to credit card To dispute the charge!!

My family and I came down to the keys for a weekend, we were looking for an affordable place to stay and stumbled upon this motel. Friendly staff that accommodated our parking needs, clean rooms with comfortable beds. My wife and daughter enjoyed going to the beach and pool and at night the lighting on the beach created a nice ambiance. We enjoyed dinner at Havana Jacks that was just a minutes walk from the motel.

The motel is OK. The rooms are clean and no complains, even I believe it was pricey. But the reception service is poor. A young guy, that you're sure he hates working there. Very impolite and any endeavor to make us fell welcome. Because of him, 1 star ? only ?

Beds were hard as a rock, pillows were flat, old linens, the AC was sub par and the filter needed cleaned, we cleaned the filter, but it was hot in the room all night. The AC also blows right at the heads of the bed closest to it. No happy medium. The headboard bounced back and forth. Never used the pool, it's small and was over seriously over populated. The room had an odd smell. Literally left more tired than when we arrived after tossing and turning all night. We reserved a king room, was given two full beds. The two stars for the room are only due to the cleanliness. Parking is tight and for one vehicle only.Positives: location, the room was clean, and the seating/beach area were nice and clean.

The pool isn't open, but the beach is right there, so it doesn't really matter, but just so you know. The room was basic but clean and it has beach access, which was cool . The price was reasonable for being in Marathon. It was also nice and quiet, which is important to us. Good place. I'd stay there again.
