Everything you could ask for right in one place. Motel amenities are superb. The staff are unbelievably friendly and kind. There is a liquor store and bar on site as well as a yummy donut shop. A market and small restaurant across the street make for extra convenience. Location is close to must see attractions.

Berg loud bar on property. Unfortunately my room was right near the band and they played until 1:30 AM. My only complaint, but a deal breaker for me for future stay.

The location is good- near the southernmost point, walkable access to the main area on Duvall. The rooms are spacious and clean, property has 3 pools and parking. There’s a resort fee but you have that wherever you stay in key west! They also have complimentary breakfast items in the lobby. Would stay here again.

This place was exactly what we were looking for when it came to location and price. It is an older hotel and the furnishings show it but, it was the most comfortable bed I have ever had at a hotel.

Friendly staff, great location. Rooms are a bit tired and dated but clean. Bed is comfortable. Washroom is very small so if you are a larger person it maybe too tight. It worked ok for us.

A gem in the Keys!
The moment I stepped into the Southwinds Motel, it felt like it was going to be a great place to be in Key West. I was greeted by a nice gentleman called Carlos, he was so helpful and gave me some great tips! The room was not on the big side, but was clean & all we needed. On site free laundry, ice cream van & so close to all the places we wanted to see. To top things off the evening's we had at the Tipsey roster were relaxed with great music & a great choice served by the delightful Alice. Highly recommend & will be back ourselves in the near future 😎

The motel is older but well maintained. Clean room and changed bedding and towels every 3 days. Staff were pleasant and very helpful. Liked staying in old town close to the beach. Free bus that circles Duval St just steps from hotel.

For starters, realize this is an older motel, we knew this and was why we booked here. The location is perfect if you wish to walk and explore the area. Only one block from Duval St and two blocks from the famous Southernmost Buoy. The property and room had everything we needed for our stay. Carlos worked the front office in the evenings and was an amazing amount of help and very kind and friendly. If you have a question or need some help, he is your man!!!
