Key Largo Hoteller

A little noisy

The room was cool and the bed linens were clean. The bathroom needs updating. The wooden bathroom cabinet was rotted and the tub had mold. The pool needs some fixing up....like the concrete around the pool. The building in general is run down and the elevators look dirty.

Decent location with a lot of nearby points of interest. Wasn't very clean, especially the floors and bathroom. Rather dated. Windows were dirty and non operational.

Staff was cordial. Breakfast was goodrr Rooms and baths were a little shabby

The location of the hotel was good. It is located on the water and easily walkable to two good restraurants. It is perfect if you want to scuba or Snorkle because the boats take off right from the hotel. The pool was also nice with a separate hot tub area. At night it is all lit up and a very pretty place to walk along the water The room itself was ok. The beds were comfortable and the air was cold and that is about it. It is outdated and a little dirty but for a short stay it was fine

That it is located in Key Largo Let me say that I am not usually a complainer. I understand that details can get missed in hotels, etc. That being said, where to start on the problems with this place? First, the room we had was extremely dated. That by itself is not a problem, but, not only was it dated, it was also in very bad shape. Everything in the room was completely worn. The sink was cracked and leaky, the faucet was corroded, the vanity in the bathroom was falling apart, the tub was broken, and the toilet leaked foul water from under it when it was flushed. And that was just the bathroom! The beds are so worn they were sagging in the middle and uncomfortable. The AC system sounded like it was on its last leg, and the vent looked like it was literally about to fall out of the ceiling. The ceiling fan creaked and squeaked so bad it was unusable. The door had massive air gaps where you could look through and see sunlight. But, really,besides the raw sewage coming from under the toilet, worst of all was the that there were no curtains on the windows, and a shutter system that was on the outside. The cranks to operate the shutter was broken, and the shutters could only be opened from the outside. Anyone walking by could just open the shutters if they pleased, and we could have done nothing to stop it from inside the room. It was a terrible night! I called the from desk and they had no other rooms. I called every other hotel I could find in the area and everyone of them was booked solid. We just had to basically wait it out until morning. Whatever you do, avoid this hotel unless you like third world accommodations.

Dated rooms in serious need of repair and renovation. Rooms were staffed up but not clean. Mold, dust, everywhere.

Location Price for poor quilty

Private beach area (though small), central location. Shower pressure sucked, refrigerator not cold, floor dirty (had white socks on and they were black on the bottom).fan in the bathroom did not work, door difficult to open/close, kept loosing Internet connection, a/c noisy, NEEDS updating!

Dirty room. Grime in the windows, dead bugs in the screen. The bed was uncomfortable and the sheets were sticky. The original desk person put us in the wrong room, and later we were locked out in the cold winds while the sorted out their mistake. Then they tried to charge us for five extra days. The rooms were very outdated and were nothing special. Avoid this overpriced, dirty establishment at all costs.

The location of the hotel and the roon

We liked the relaxing atmosphere and the very small man made beach. Staff was super friendly Bar hours sucked. Who closes a bar at 9pm on the beach? We paid for a room with a fridge but it was missing. Room was out dated and furniture really needs to be replaced.

They were not good Stuarts of the gulf... There was trash on the sea floor. ( it had been there awhile.. And more than one piece)

Lobby was nice. Grounds were neat and clean. The room had a nice balcony. The room was in need of updates. Carpet looked old and worn. Furniture was old, scarred and worn. A full length mirror somewhere in the suite would have been nice. I expected a nicer room for the money.

to be honest, nothing except free parking and free acces to net. really disapointed after all. very cheap and not enough beach towels, foods for breakfast,too expensive for this quality of hotel. never take for this price

The location, only 3 miles from the John Pennekamp Coral Reef state park. The hotel is undergoing renovations at the moment so the entire hotel was a construction site in November 2010. No breakfast included and staying here doesn't come cheap.

The view of the canal, activities and restaurants within walking distance, plenty of parking, kitchen with dish washer, good air conditioning and ceiling fans The actual cost after tax recovery charges and other fees add about another $25.00 per day than is advertised. The refrigerator didn't work properly and ruined food. The overall condition was old and in disrepair.

Staff leaves you alone. Big rooms. You're going to be listening to music so bad only a drunk person could like every evening from 6-11. There's a LOUD bar across the canal. I've heard better karaoke than the wannabe-Hootie crap crooners over there. From time to time, you will also hear people working on their boats in the canal. Total lack of creature comforts in the room: no soap or shampoo, terrible coffee. The lager lout at the reception seems to be proud of this frugality. If you want to use the hotel wireless, forget it. It is so slow as to be unusable when the signal is strong enough to connect at all. I tested 3 different mobile devices and they ALL worked poorly with the hotel Wifi; it's them, not my stuff. Outside the hotel, just walk down the street toward the water and there is trash all over the place, abandoned cars, a boat detailer, and a gated rich-bastard-only-accessible community. Go the other way and there's US 1. Lovely. About the reception.... I booked through hotels.com and there was some bullshit extra feel when I got there! Over $300 up front for 3 nights and then I have to pay 5 bucks more when I get there!? If this were BUDGET accommodation, I would not be so bothered. But to get the same old Keys rubbish style accomodation (noise, little fees, no nice little things) for a midrange price is just not cutting it. The parking lot that John Pennekamp State Park calls a "camp site" would cost 1/3 what this place did and is usually quieter; especially since the park outlawed booze. I have been a frequent Keys visitor since 2002 and I have observed a decline in just about everything except the prices and traffic over these last 14 years. Future trips will probably be out-island Bahamas or the less overdeveloped, ruined-by-cruise-ship Windward Islands. These places may sound expensive, but the Keys rip-off is getting to where you have pay premium prices for budget-level quality. There is no checkbox above for what best describes this hotel: El Cheapo for a premium, no so groovily decaying, cut corners but not cut rate.

OLD & OUTDATED BEDS WERE TERRIBLE

The bed was very comfortable. The solitude was nice. The room was clean. The towels were ample. The kitchenette supliers were very good. Very close to the state park for water activities. The photo of the beach is misleading. The beach holds four chairs only and fronts rocks, so water access from the so called beach is unavailabke. If you want to go in the water you have to jump off the dock. A ladder on the dock makes it very difficult to climb out of the water. Windows could not be opened to we were subject to wall airconditioning even on a cool night. The hotel serves nothing/nada.

excellent room beautiful location driving from Key West so going north it was very hard to find (no sign)

Welcoming bar-restaurant locally basic but sufficient comfort

Good location, close to John Pennenkamp State Park. Great restaurant with excellent staff. Nice clean little pool. The beach is allright, but it is very small and you need to watch your step. On the other hand, if you´re not going into the water I guess it´s just fine.

We always enjoy meeting the people that come to Gilberts. The Tiki Bar has excellent food and service.

Tiki house and the show Yes big ants in my room

Not much beach, docks were great, rooms clean, but obviously unchanged for many years except for paint
