Blue Marlin Motel

this is the most reasonable, cleanest, nicest hotels in key west. we have stayed at many different places and with the rising cost we came across this motel. we love it. rooms are very nice, clean and big.. pool is wonderful. great free morning breakfast. the staff in office are wonderful and very helpful. i do forgot the name of the man that’s works in office but he is amazing. from the booking to the check out he was very accommodating. we had to leave a day early due to emergency and they took that night of the price of my bill. this is my third time staying there and it is my go to hotel in key west. great location.

This place is Clean, comfortable, friendly, convenient and affordable! What more can you want? We highly recommend! The staff is so nice and helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

First trip to Key West, from UK, since 2019. Blue Marlin has always been on our short -list, and this time they had availability. Great place, good location, nice pool area and clean. Room was great, would stay here again. Included buffet breakfast was fine: muffins, bagels, coffee, juice, fruit, yogurt. Small charge for parking, but can leave your car for one hour after check out.

Loved everything about this place with one exception. There's a lot of parking and you get an allocated spot ($15 a day). The rooms are a good size, recently refurbished and really well equipped. The pool is one the best I've seen at a motel and is open til midnight. The one bad thing is the breakfast, which is possibly the most diabolical food I've ever eaten - really the cheapest, most processed crap. Not enough to put me off staying here again, I'd just get brekkie elsewhere.

The rooms have been updated nicely since our last visit and the staff was exceptionally nice. Couldn't ask for better. The price for the room was very reasonable. We didn't find the free breakfast even worth going to after our first day. It was very limited.

Pros: We overall really liked our stay there. The location is fantastic, rooms are clean enough and the pool is absolutely wonderful. Cons: Breakfast was just cheap prepackaged pastries. We skipped it after the first one. We were in the nicer, updated part of the motel but things were a bit janky. Bench in the shower was about to rip out, the mirror had come out of the wall and was just leaning against wall (hazard when you have kids). The room keys are frustrating, we had to get them recharged every single day (even though we kept them away from wallet and phones). But the big disappoin**ent was the super rude lady at the morning desk. I ended up getting charged twice (on two separate cards) and she was extremely defensive and rude about it. We would have returned but this was a bummer.

This was our second trip and we just love this place. The pool is nice. The location is great , but nice and quiet. Parking was fine. The laundry is awesome. The shower was nice and roomy with a bench seat as well. It's very convenient to local attractions, (Truman White House, Hemingway House, Southernmost Point, Butterfly House and the state park.). It is also convenient to some nice Cuban and Italian Restaurants. We like it because it's away from the touristy bustle of the main drag. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Just a great place.

Lovely comfy little motel. Breakfast was included, beautiful big pool, lovely clean rooms and extremely helpful staff. A joy to visit. The location is excellent as you are so close to the Duval Loop, butterfly house and the southern most point.
