Loved staying here. It may be an older motel, but it was clean, quiet, and offered plentiful breakfast options. The staff was incredibly friendly, and it was close to the high points of Key West. Additionally, it was close to the booth where you could sign up for the trolley or train to take you around Key West to explore the areas well known to KW that may not be within walking distance. We also appreciated that it had a liquor store and bar right next door, featuring live music every night at The Tipsy Rooster. If I ever return to Key West, I would definitely stay here again.

This was exactly the old Florida feel I was looking for and delivered on quaintness and retro excellence. For the age of the property it was very well maintained and clean. The rooms were large and I loved the mini fridge and microwave. The staff were incredibly friendly and the location could not be beat. Everything I was hoping it would be and more

From the moment we checked in, meeting the front desk staff, they were friendly, gave us information to make our stay comfortable and worry free. Our room was towards the back, quiet, clean and parking right in front. We loved that parking is free. Another plus, besides a big coffee pot in the room, in the morning, grab and go continental breakfast in the lobby was very nice and convenient. Definitely would stay here again and I would recommend to other travelers.

I liked the "old Florida" feel of Southwinds. The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved having the option of the pools or the beach (with beach chairs and towels). It was a great location-close to cafes, the Tipsy Rooster (with daily live music) and the free Duval Loop Bus stop. While the bed was very comfortable, the other furniture in the room (dresser, table, chairs) was dated. Would definitely come back!

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Especially with my handicap mother. Shout out to Nico and Quiana! They were wonderful! This was the least expensive motel I could find for our large group and I was nervous about the quality. While some of the rooms are very small, ours was large and comfortable. I had no reason to worry! They have 2 nice pools, clean rooms and coffee ready in the morning. It's a very walkable area. They also have parking for cars or golf carts. Close to so many things! I was very happy with everything!

At the driveway, the trees/shrubs knocked off our sideview mirror. That will be $1,700 repair cost on top of the cost of motel - damage caused by this property. Of course the next day, the bushes/tree had been cut down !! No offer by property to help our repair costs !

Small, dirty little place. But, the kicker is that they use real keys that aren’t stamped with room number all that well. This was a problem because the guy at front desk gave us 2 keys to our “room” but one was the wrong room. After it wouldn’t open the one that was actually our room, we went to what the key said (thinking the front desk guy messed up) and yup, key worked…..let my wife open up a room with another couple having sex. The guy at the front desk just said “oh sorry” and gave us a better key. So no, we didn’t feel safe in these rooms as who knows who may just walk in.
