    One of the 3 pools available to guests at Southwinds Motel.
    K M.

    We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed it. It's simple accommodations, clean and in the perfect location. Just about a block from Duvall on the "southern most" end. We rented bikes from right across the street to get around. It was cheaper than renting them from the motel. We stayed in the room directly next to the office. We had a little patio with tables, chairs and umbrellas just outside our door where we'd sit at night and enjoy a night cap and watch the passers by. There's a little bar/liquor store right next door called The Tipsy Rooster that has acoustic live music. So beware if you go To bed early. The music lastil 10 or 11pm, but it didn't bother us. We were on vacation. motel has 3 pools to cool off in. We stayed in early August 2021. I would highly recommend Southwinds for those on a budget, and still wanting a place perfectly located.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at the Southwinds Motel for our Key West vacation (06/06/2020-06/10/2020 4 days/ 3 nights). We booked through Expedia and paid $821.99. If you haven't booked with Expedia, they do not include resort fee, you pay that upon arrival. The resort fee was $90.00, so in total we spent $911.99 PROS: Great location, it is the biggest perk. One block from Duval street, 2 minute walk to the southern most point. You can bike anywhere from there. The bed was nice and comfortable. The pillows were the fluffy squishy kind that I love. Feathered. Three pools, one which is heated. You can wash/dry your clothes for no extra charge. Bikes are available for rental. Due to COVID the continental breakfast was only individual wrapped muffins (blueberry was my favorite huge fresh and delicious) and beverages (juice, coffee, tea, H20) CONS: The door knob is a tricky thing, you have to insert the key, slightly pull it out, and then turn to the left to open the door. There is no closet, just a bar with hangers to hang your clothes. There is absolutely no counter space in the bathroom!!! The water for a shower was also tricky; there is a fine line between hot and going to give me a three degree burn hot. I turned the cold water all the way on and then slightly turned the hot knob to get the perfect temperature. OVERALL: I keep stressing this, YELP needs to allow half stars. I give this hotel 2.5 stars. Will come back if it's $200 cheaper or if the nightly rates are $99.00 or less.

    Way overpriced. You can do much better in Key West. Surprisingly the price of this motel in April rivaled that of many of the nicer older hotels and bed & breakfasts in Key West. The decor is minimal and basic, the sink tiny (with plaster coming off the back), the AC seemed only to have one setting, the shower was a bit wonky and very low flow, the bathroom window was broken and could not be opened, and the microwave so old and scratched that you had to guess at the settings. To its credit it was clean and the coffee maker worked fine. The location is in the southern, quiet end of the island about 14 blocks from Mallory Square. We booked a little late so did not have much choice. They charge way too much for this motel. The only good part was that Frenchie's Cafe is around the corner and has very good croissants and breakfasts.

    We chose this motel because it was kitty corner from the Southernmost Hotel that we would eventually move to for our wedding. The place is in walking distance of everything! Rooster's Bar next door was a nightly event for our group - please you can buy liquor inside as well. Bonus! They have 3 pools on the property & serve a small breakfast. The location & cost alone is worth staying here. Could use a bit updating inside but it didn't bother us! We were very happy with our stay. Plus they leave a 5% discount card for Rooster's in your room

    We had such a great stay here! Everyone on staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are so nice and clean and cleaned daily. Our bed was so comfy! They are very conveniently located near South Beach which is just a short walk and Higgs Beach which is just a short bike or car ride. Duval St. is also just a short walk from the hotel. Parking is great and free with your stay! The spread for breakfast is lovely and just right for grabbing to go. The muffins are delish! Overall, I would highly recommend staying with Southwinds. We would definitely stay again!

    Cute momma chicken and her babies!!

    See all

    You can walk up to the rowdy end of Duval but then walk home to a nice quiet neighborhood for bedtime.

Property does not have one consistent vibe, but it is closest attributed to South Beach/modern. Rooftop bar has live music in the evening and good drinks while overlooking Duval street. Breakfast selection is good, but if you are used to complementary breakfast through the Marriott status, then you are only offered eggs, bacon, granola, and toast. Sadly the bacon was stale (we were one of the first, if not the very first to order breakfast, so it being completely cold and stale tells me it's not from today). We asked for coffee at breakfast and were pointed to the coffee station on the front end of the bar. Just drip coffee, nothing special. No milk, alternatives or honey, just cream, sugar and stevia. That part could be improved for it being about $400-$500/night. The room itself is decorated well and clean. Plantation shutters look great, but they do let in light in the morning since hotel doesn't have any curtains. Walls are thin as we heard the phone ring, but turns out it was our neighbor.

On top of that the room is almost closet sized with an exposed shower and sink which makes it feel very humid in the room. Theres barely enough space between the bed and wall to walking into the room. The shower also hadn't been cleaned with a piece of old soap stuck to the floor and bug crawling under the pillow when i moved it.. I brought it to the attention of the man working the front desk who first told me it was a queen. The GM came on later that evening and admitted that it wasn't a queen and offered us a slightly larger rom but same size bed. Again the sink was in the room and it was stuffy and humid which made it hard to sleep more than four hours. I canceled the room after one night and tried to get my money back, but they've refused. Do not stay at this hotel. The "queen room" is basically just a hostel at hotel prices. $260 a night in my case.

Our hot water did not work, the hair dryer made us lose power, I was a young girl alone in the room and the maintenance man asked me where I was from and started calling me beautiful which was uncomfortable for me. I brought all my dirty towels down after days without room service to the pool area towel dispenser and then I had to remove the overflowing trash from the room. The pull out sofa bed poked me in the back and was uncomfortable. Sand in between the blanket and the sheets from previous people I assume. Then we received a text at 6pm on a Saturday night asking us to be mindful of the guests below us to not move furniture? (We did not move any furniture so we were all very confused?) And we had not been in the room all day. This made us feel very unwelcome and sent us over the edge as we already were having a horrible experience. Had to ask for more towels because no room service. We left a day early to stay somewhere else. I've noticed all the good reviews were made during old management

I chose a poolside room (shared balcony). I was given room 3 and I loved it. :) There is plenty of room for two people. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were perfect. They have complimentary water (2 bottles) in your room. They have a mini fridge and options to buy snacks and liquor. They have fruit infused water next to the pool daily. You will stay hydrated. There is an honor bar next to the water; which has a few pricy options for a beer or other canned beverages. I did see plenty of people have their own drinks poolside. So, outside drinks are allowed at the pool...but no glass. They have two pools. I preferred the pool towards the back. There are lush beautiful plants all around you and you'll often see little lizards scurrying by the pool. They did not have a late checkout for my room but they were nice enough to hold my bags and have use of the pool while I waited for my friends to arrive. I would stay here again but during high season, the rooms get expensive. I loved room 3 but would love to someday stay in the cute cabin looking rooms up behind the pool. They have a covered porch, sitting room m, and a large bathroom. Overall, the service was solid. The grounds of the hotel are lovely, the bed was amazing, and the pools were a lovely respite from the crowded streets and heat of the city.
