Hi, so we weren’t able to check in because no one was there. It’s unfortunate; we booked last minute to rest since we’ve been driving. Some hotels don’t allow you to book but this one did and accepted our payment. Anyway, we hope to not have major issues with a refund.
Thanks,

Nice and interesting, stayed in a boat house.

Owners are trying. Office hours are short times, probably because they don’t want to be there when we check out. One of the beds was impossible to sleep on. Towels, etc very old. Could be a very nice stay with a few additions. Could not get WiFi

They gave us a room, when we walked in it was dirty, striped beds, cleaning supplies left out and a mess. Went and got another room. There was no heater so it was cold all night with 1 think sheet and “blanket” there was a dead cockroach under the bed, rust, dust, everywhere. It was also a very squeaky spring mattress where every turn or movement was heard. For $240 it was dismal. The bathroom door was broken too… but the man who checked us in was nice, friendly and accommodated us to a new room with ease.

This is about a $30 room, not $230. Very dirty. Room is 25 feet from U. S. 1, so it's very noisy and unsafe. No hand towels. No towell or toilet paper holder. Hair's on the toilet. Night stand is a filing cabinet. Blood smear on hallway wall. Rusty refrigerator. Rusty with holes in shower curtain rod. No coffee maker. Medicine cabinet held together with duct tape. Both Mattress need thrown out. Springs poke you in the back. You should NEVER recommend this again. Plus, nothing floats. It's not a resort!

Absolutely filthy!!!! No internet or microwave!!! Shower floor mushy, full of rot! The nastiest place I’ve ever stayed!

The room was way beyond dirty. Stains on the walls, smell was terrible. Bathroom has a half inch of dirt on the floor (mixed dirt with hair). Shower tub was disgustingly dirty. Toilet bowl was probably installed in early 70's. I regret for not taking pictures, just because nobody should experience this. And it's not pet friendly, imagine that. I think your pets would never let you go back there.
Oh, and the fridge was another level of experience. If you dare, you'll know what I'm talking about. We had a chance to see the cleaning person, I don't want to be rude or mean but I got an idea why this place was neglected.
BTW, if we tried harder we could find an amazing room in Hampton Inn hotel, possibly for less money.
DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE! For your sake.

Way too much money for nothing

The room didn't have basic amenities like microwave and coffee maker. Bed and linens had foul odor. No heating. Very poor condition and not maintained at all. The office had extremely bad smell of pet excretions.

The location was great.
This motrl should be renovated or closed down

It took about 1 minute to determine we could NOT stay here. Mouse dropping on the floor, hair in the bed and a general foul smell.

Perhaps it's acceptable for a 2-star motel, but it was my first time paying $154 per night for a room, which is comparable to some of the cheapest motels in Florida priced at about $49 per night. The room had a strong mold smell, and no effort was made to clean under either of the beds. Trash, beer bottle caps, and other debris were present. One bed had a strange white substance on the cover, prompting me to avoid it and sleep fully clothed on the other bed. Additionally, the toilet bowl was positioned a foot away from the bathroom wall, requiring one to press their face against the opposite wall to sit on it.

Room is clean and affordable. Towels were not replenished automatically. Cannot contact office before 11 AM.

Great price and location. Friendly, helpful and respectful owner. Resort does not have a lot of "bells and whistles", but that was fine for my visit.

It is old, falling apart. Stuck in the 1960’s pink bathroom tiles. Mattress never been replaced. Toilet not flushing. Place needs new manager.

Check in was fine. The owner stayed an extra 10 mins because we were hung up in traffic. The first room he sent us too had not been cleaned even though he stated that no one was in the room the night before. The room smelled very strongly of the plug-in room freshener and irritated our allergies. There were 2 beds in the room and we got to choose which one had the least saggy mattress on it. We walked out onto the floating dock and were concerned it would sink on us. Not sure I would have wanted to spend the night in the room on the dock.
At the end of the day we pulled the chairs out to have a cigar and enjoy the evening. When we put them back we had one on each side of the small table on the porch. In the morning both chairs were slid together as if someone had been sleeping on them. When we looked across at the adjoining porch we saw a homeless person sleeping on their chairs. After seeing that it made us wonder if the cleaning person had forgotten to lock the door to the first room and it had been used by the homeless.
We would not stay at the Floating Sea Cove Resort again!!!

This review is based on the concept “you get what you pay for” in the most positive way - it was simple, clean, and comfortable for a quick stay in the keys. I really think the negative reviews have no concept of the price of hotels in the keys.

Needs some upgrade.
Is an old location, but i think that with some upgrades it can make a difference.

Amazing. Great place the Real Florida Keys!
The room #5 was huge plenty of room. Shower was nice and large also. The place was spotless. Has a fridge and TV nice sitting chair small wicker bench was cute and enjoyed! Has a nice size table with a couple chairs. The porch is big also was nice and clean with table and chairs. This place is the real deal keys. I just stayed 8-26-23 this is a honest review. This will be a go 2 for me. Heck I want to work here it's was so neat and cool of a place! Don't believe everything you read some people can't be satisfied. You want authentic Florida keys here it still is. Remember the hurricanes really hurt the keys they need our help to keep coming back and enjoy all the hard work they have put into keeping this place open. Thank you for the hospitality.

This motel was relatively inexpensive for the Keys. It was roomy, bright with windows on three sides. Cute little porch with two chairs and a table. No microwave or hairdryer.

Wasn't a friendly place at all asked towels were for some bath towels received them probably 7 hour's later stayed for 2 nights never seen a house keeper or anyone
It was dirty, food on the floors, ants in the bathroom and towels were dirty took about 7 hour's to get clean ones, floors had hair and dust and food everywhere
8.0
This is a value property in an expensive area and needs to be judged as such. It’s a place to sleep/shower. Buildings are older cinderblock building (which you want here) with a beautiful, well done stucco finish.
The room floor wasn’t as clean as it should have been and there isn’t a towel bar to be found. Shower control was put in oddly, hot is in middle? It had a great/huge TV and a nice fridge. No coffee maker or microwave.
It wouldn’t be my first choice but I would definitely stay again.

Well cared for bright & clean … did wake up and see a giant palmetto bug on the wall tried to whip it with a towel .. the bug did a standing 8 count ran under the mini fridge i pull back the fridge and stomp him dead .. there was half eaten sandwich there and a cheesy Qtip next to it …. Cleaning lady apparently missed this only spot because the rest of the room looked very clean and nice

Runaway from this place! Pictures are very deceiving! No pool! No beach! It is not worth the money I spent and it's not refundable! Cracked floors. MOLD on floor in bathroom!
RUN! RUN!

The absolute worst, nastiest, falling apart toilet of a property that I have ever had the displeasure of staying at! It looks like the crackheads gave up on this place 10 years ago!
5.0
While this isn't a 5 star hotel, I would give it 5 stars. You're not going to find 5 star accommodations, but as the gentleman who checked us in said, Elvis may not be around, the beautiful cars are long gone, but you will still find a nice, quiet vintage place to lay your head.
Within walking distance to multiple restaurants. It was super quiet and clean with a fridge to store cold beverages and a cute little porch to drink those cold beverages. We travel a lot and have stayed at some sketchy places, but this place I would definitely stay at again! I wasn't afraid to sit on the bed or walk around barefoot. Highly recommend if you don't need fancy accommodations and just want a quiet, clean place to stay.
