Southwinds Motel

Extra charge of $20.00 for no reason. Hotel offered parking, pools Wi-Fi and breakfast of bagels or muffins which is standard at any Motel. The $20.00 fee is just a sneaky way to charge extra for the room. If they just advertised the true price instead of tying to be sneaky they would still be a good price

Staff is wonderful and the best part of the Motel. Also, free parking was nice. We reserved 2 rooms, family of 6 (though they could not get us close to each other, not really a big deal). This was last minute trip, showing family from North Key West, so with no planning choices limited. The location is nice, a block from Duvall and 2 blocks from famous Southern Most Point buoy. Now, downside - The rooms are small, very small, smoky smell, and dated. We had no hot water in showers, either room, and we varied times of showering (7:00 am, noon, 5:30 pm and 10 pm). Also, no water pressure in sinks, trickles out. Lots of smoking on porches, smell/smoke drifts in rooms. Air conditioning not strong. Not sure what amenity fee was for, beach closed. Beach is about 3 blocks to area hotel will have chairs, looked under construction. There was a fight in room next door, scared the kids (and me a little), very drunk/high/out of it neighbors. Staff handled it wonderfully and apologized. All in all, if you are looking for an inexpensive place to lay your head Southwinds may fit the bill. It is on the “seedy side” but inexpensive and convenient.

Nice Key West location and facility.

Hotel room was clean and the staff were all nice. The rooms are very small. The free breakfast was only muffins,bagels and yogurt every day even though the sign in the office says it included other things such as fresh fruit (which I never saw in the 4 days we were there). Also they don’t have enough parking for the amount of rooms they have and the parking lot they do have is very compact.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The hotel was in walking distance to just about everything.The staff were super nice and helpful with check in to check out. We were also close to other family/friends that were at others hotels near by. We would stay there again. The only thing I would say is that their continental breakfast was so,so and their coffee not to good.
