This property is a motel, not a hotel, so your room door opens to the outdoors. If you use an external booking venue such as expedia, make sure to contact the Inn to explicitly describe where your room is. From the pictures and description on Expedia, we thought we had booked a “creekside” room. However, we were on the 2nd floor with a small window viewing the parking lot. The swimming beach is about 5 miles from the property, for which you get a pass to use for free. Just make sure you don’t intend on walking. It’s in the beautiful FL Keys, so quite a wonderful experience. Just make sure to contact the Inn before you book, as the advertised descriptions and pictures were not what we thought once we arrived. Plan for slow travel coming south to Key Largo.
