Stayed on our way to Key West. Checked in late and suddenly the place was swarmed with cop cars. Something went down in one of the rooms. Sketchy people hanging out all over. Florida City has a high crime rate. We couldn’t wait to get back on the road.

The hotel is a motel style place. We were impressed with the communications in advance. On our late arrival Kirum was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very spacious with two comfy  queen beds, a TV, plenty of storage, A/c, good lighting, coffee machine, fridge and microwave. The sink was outside of the bathroom which was a bit awkward at times. The bathroom was really small, and the extractor fan was very noisy. Our room was just above the reception (201) with an outside corridor. Rooms are non-smoking but ashtray buckets are outside so we were aware of people standing outside close to our room smoking and the smell of smoke, which we don't really like. The room was reasonably clean but we did find an empty can just under one of the beds. There was a musty smell in the room which was a bit offputting. We were staying for 5 nights and were told that the room would be cleaned after 3 days but a sign in the room said cleaned on request. We presumed that it was an old sign so didn't make a request so it didnt get cleaned. This needs to be made clearer. It was no problem getting toilet rolls etc from the reception. The reception had an ATM, computers, a small gym and seating area for breakfast which was free. The breakfast included a couple of cooked items, choices of bread, bagels and muffins, and pastries. Plus make your own waffles. There were some cereals, bananas, diet yoghurts,  juice, tea and coffee. The quality was low and we would have liked some more fruit but it was replenished regularly, and generously included. The hotel has free parking which is very useful. There was a swimming pool that we did not use. There was a bit of noise from the car park during our stay. The hotel is very convenient for the Everglades, Biscayne National Park and the Florida Keys. It is around an hour from Miami Airport using the toll roads, and depending on time of day/traffic. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and could not be nicer. The area is expensive for hotels so we were quite happy overall with the value of this hotel.
