My Husband and I stayed here in late April and loved it! We have been to Key West many times and stayed on and off Duval (Southern Most Motel, The Grand, and the Artist House). I must say we liked El Patio the most for the quiet surroundings, pool, sun deck, and value! They have great rooms and I enjoyed... more

Ok, I have stayed at El Patio MANY MANY (at least 10) times over the years. The staff can be friendly most times, to completley irritable. But that is the nature of the business. They get a lot of people who are expecting top of the line PERFECT accomodations. If you are looking for some fancy pants, perfect hotel... Let... more

We booked this motel through the Key West Chamber of Commerce on entering the area. We booked for two nights but having stayed one night and getting absolutely no sleep due to other motel guests, the air conditioning fan and the roosters, we left. The guy at the Chamber of Commerce, who we guess was on some commission for the... more

We are very sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our lodging accommodation. Perhaps the person who referred our establishment did not accurately describe our place to you? (The Chamber of Commerce does not receive commissions for referrals.) We never try to describe our establishment as something that it is not. We would much prefer to have guests know...

We stayed two nights at the El Patio and found it to be an old but quaint property in a quiet part of town. It's not bad if you know what you are getting. During check-in and check-out, the front desk was very friendly and helpful, and made some very nice recommendations for activities and restaurants. The sun deck was... more

Thank you for your review. You are right, we are a modest, budget accommodation, so we do not offer a lot of extra amenities. This is one way that we are able to keep our rates reasonably low (for Key West!). The motel was built in the 1950s. Rooms have original cuban tile floors (which are highly sought after down...

After a 5 hour drive, walked in to find only the expensive rooms left. We had a two room queen size with TV, fridge, a/c, wifi and on suite. Fridge didn't work and smelt bad as a result, bathroom was functional, but the mixing on the shower was a bit of an art to get the right temperature. No hair... more

We also have a full-time maintenance person who can assist with any problems that arise if guests bring these issues to our attention. We do not want our guests to be dissatisfied! We are a modest, budget accommodation here in...

My husband and I have stayed at this motel for the last 7 years. Yes, it is an older motel and I would me much happier if the bathroom was larger, but for the money, it's great. The pool may be small but the flowers and foliage surrounding it are beautiful.It is about a 3 mile walk to Mallory square,... more

thanks for the kind review... in regards to walking distance... Mallory Square is a little over one mile from us, actually. You are right, it's nice to walk or bike around town... it's a great way to see all that Key West has to offer! You may miss things otherwise! Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you again!

The El Patio was referred to us by a friend who had stayed there. We were not disappointed. An older motel with all the amenities. We enjoyed the courtyard,pool and roof top deck. Our room was very nice. We enjoyed the area and found it very convenient to Duval St. and surrounding beaches. We could ride a bike or walk... more

This motel was quite an average place, but there was nothing wrong with it at all, I can't fault it, there just isn't anything much to write home about. Our accommodation comprised of two large bedrooms (including a fridge) and bathroom. Basic, but with nice art on the walls, very clean and well looked after. There was a beautiful courtyard... more
