Marathon hotel rooms a the Independent

"This is an "old Florida" place in a good sense. It's extremely casual, not at all fancy but well maintained and friendly. The only thing I didn't like was double beds. (David and I are spoiled.) At the end of the crushed rock driveway is tie up for a boat. It's on the shore of a shallow cove. Long on charm!"

"It just looks nothing like the pictures. You come in off a busy highway to a 1950’s motel that has been nicely updated, rooms and bathrooms small but modernized, looking out of the patio doors into lawn and pool. Nice, but not what the pictures say. Busy highway doesn’t keep you awake. Complementary bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards. It is expensive, but cheap for the Florida Keys. I guess it was a deal. Not 4-5 star though. "

"We stayed in a villa. The carpet was dirty, the shower was so small it was hard to turn around, and there was little water pressure until there was none at all, to which they moved us into two rooms in the main hotel. We must've been next to an AC unit or something because it sounded like military jets flying all night long, and the toilet stopped up. Staff was friendly, pool was nice, wouldn't recommend or return. "

"great place great views"

" Could not see the ocean from our room, but just a short walk to it The dehumidifier was a great bonus in the room to make conditioning very comfortable Seems dated, but clean and every thing we needed for a place to sleep and shower "

"Nice resort,,great staff ,but main restaurant dinnr service is terribly slow and food isnt great ,also cold ,,breakfast food is good ,but takes forever!,,"

"Old school Key West motel, with a nice pool and comfortable, clean rooms. Our room was spotless, and kept clean every day. Free coffee every morning at the outdoor Tiki Hut by the water, and a handy microwave and refrigerator in the room. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. By the end of the week, we felt like family! Parking was assigned per room, and was easy and convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here, and would absolutely return. "

"Friendly staff, great view from room, pool fine, many areas to lounge, “ store” nice and handy and fair priced."
