Check-in was easy, with a map of the property provided. Room was big enough for a short stay (we were there for 6 nights and lived out of our suitcases as there wasn't much storage space). Room was clean enough, though fixtures and fittings were dated. Great location in a generally quieter area, though near enough to a range of decent restaurants. The busier part of Key West is a good walk away, though we only resorted to using the free Duval Loop bus on one occasion, after a long day on our feet. Easy parking close to the room. Didn't get chance to use the pool, but saw others using it, and it looked fine. Breakfast is basic but plenty good enough. You just go to the reception area between 07:00 & 09:00 and take what you want back to the room, which worked fine for us.

The location of our room was great! Our outdoor chairs faced the street. We sat outside a lot! Most of the staff were exceptional. However, all the other staff were exceptional. Our doorknob was wobbly, and the young lady working, she sent maintenance over right away and he was friendly and fast. Karen that was working Tuesday morning was able to let us stay in our same room so we wouldn't have to move. Our room was clean and fresh. We never used the pools, but they looked nice! The coffee at the free breakfast was great! We don't really eat breakfast, but it always looked clean and replenished. TY for a wonderful stay in Key West! Loved the location too!!

The Southwinds was exactly what our family was looking for--an old school type of accommodation that was affordable, clean and walkable to the things we wanted to see. We loved going to the South Beach, a five minute walk, as well as the Southernmost buoy. The ice cream truck on the property was so much fun and there was a small grocery store across the street as well as a bar with music at the hotel. Loved the resident iguanas and roosters. The continental breakfast was perfect---great grab and go items that were a great start for our days of adventure. We would love to return to this fun spot that was a backdrop for some wonderful family memories.

The location was amazing, the staff were all very friendly and very helpful! The location has 2 pools, is very close to the beach (3min walk) that includes free towels and chairs, it's directly across from an amazing Cuban Café and small store featuring delicious food and coffee starting at 7am, an ice cream truck on the premises, and adjacent to the Tipsy Rooster whose bartenders were awesome, drinks were delightful, and very good live music daily. It's just far enough away to not be in the "thick-of-it" but close enough to walk everywhere (rent a golf cart/scooter/bicycle or Uber/taxi)

We would absolutely return to the Southwinds! The entire staff's vibe was happy, respectful, and helpful. The location is perfect for getting to the sunrises by foot and a straight scoot to the other side of the island for sunset. I liked the quiet of the area, as we were able to visit the Southernmost buoy every night without lines, or even car traffic. And we went by foot and scooter, depending on our mood.
