Second time staying at the Key Lantern and again very pleased. It is basic, very inexpensive accomodations, convenient to everything on Islamorada. Yes, it's somehwat dated, but that's part of the charm. Like traveling with your parents in the 60's. The rooms are very clean and you can't beat the price to sleep and shower. Right next door to the... more

In a quest to explore the keys, we selected this place to stay. First off they do not have a way of accepting online reservation; therefore you must call and give away your cc number over the telephone. From my understanding this has 2 sides the Key Lantern and the Blue fin, the later is newer, I stayed in the... more

My husband and I were looking for a cheap place to stay on a saturday night before driving on to KW. This motel was recommended through TA and I went in expect a basic motel (not hotel by any means) and it was exactly that. There were trailers right across our room, but we didn't see people sitting out there... more

This motel was recommended by a friend. We arrived and found the place to be old and run down but otherwise clean and affordable. It seems to be part of the trailer park that is on the premises but it was ok. We just needed a place to crash for the night and for $55 it was worth it. The... more

The motel was reccomended by a co-worker who had stayed here before and had told me it was just a basic motel. I emailed the motel for availablility then made my reservations about... more

The reviewer who wrote the review about the "Brick Rooms" (which is the Key Lantern Hotel side of this double hotel) was 100% on the mark. I stayed in room 2 on February 25th and it was a dump! Stay somewhere else folks - go for the extra bucks. You get what you pay for ! more

Now, I knew this was going to be a "Mom & Pop" motel from the 1950's, but it was worse than I expected. Springs popped through the bed, so I had to buy a sleeping bag to put over the mattress. The place was old and dirty, the chairs were filthy with stains, I wouldn't even sit on them. No... more

Key Lantern Inn/Blue Fin inn made for a comfortable stay. It was clean and loaction was perfect for our party boat fishing location. Would stay there again. more

We stayed at Key Lantern for only one night, which was just as well, since the mattresses sagged in the middle, and we didn't sleep well. Our room had two double beds, air conditioning, ceiling fan, a large table with four chairs, two armchairs, a closet and some drawer space, There was no phone, clock, or safe. The small TV... more
