My partner and I stayed here for her birthday, and it was amazing! It’s only about an 8-minute walk to St. Armands Circle and even less to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable—definitely a 10/10 stay. Some of the appliances could use an upgrade, but we were told that renovations were already underway during our visit, so I can’t wait to see the updates next time. We even tried to extend our stay, but the secret is clearly out about this place—it was fully booked! We’re already looking forward to coming back.

We will absolutely be returning to this property. It was perfect for our needs. Although, there were some things that could stand to be updated, you are not coming to the beach to spend your time inside. It is walkable to everything, close to everything, and so close to the beach! Super relaxing for a family for a short or long getaway.

Likely the least expensive hotel on Lido Key, so expectations need to be adjusted accordingly. That said, my room was clean, the bed comfortable, and staff very helpful. Good value all things considered.

Quaint and homey little cottage walkable to St Armand’s Circle and Lido Beach. Clean and comfortable and super friendly staff. Small bugs crawling on the tile in the bed bath area though. I think regular spraying would be helpful.

Second Stay Here

My second stay at this motel. This is a no frills bungalow type motel. It’s older, but some of it has been updated. Very clean and friendly when I had to call. No attendant is on duty. And it depends on who is also staying there as to the noise level. Great location though!!!
