We got this motel from a coupon book. We were only $109 per night which was quite reasonable for Key West. It is in a great location - really near Duvall Street. The rooms are clean - I didnt notice any sort of smell - and comfortable. The cleaners came quite late - probably after 3pm but we were at... more

The Blue Marlin Motel was a pleasant surprise, just like a great blind date. We arrived in the afternoon to an easy check in, and very clean room. First of all, the place is clean. I don't know what the Scotland guy was talking about, because Florida is HUMID, and so is the island! There was no smell whatsoever during... more

This is a great older motel that has been kept up well over the years. It's in a great location just a block north of the quiet end of Duvall and just a couple blocks from the "southern most" marker. The rooms are clean and smell very clean. Small kitchenette with sink and fridge and microwave. The rooms have great... more

Sayed here for 1 night (thank god it was only one night) as part of a trip to Miami and Florida Keys. Booked the hotel based on the positive trip advisor reviews. Cannot believe the positive reviews now having actually stayed there myself!! On arrival, check-in was very unfriendly and oh my god - the smell of mildew or dampness... more

This motel was one of the best places I have stayed in a long time. We were in Key West after planning a trip for a week at another resort on another key. When we arrived at that resort we were extremly disappointed with that resort, we canceled the reservation for the week. We happened to stay at the Blue... more

This was our second time here, and am glad that nothing has changed! Rooms are large and clean, staff is extremely friendly. Pool is nice, we just park here and walk everywhere - being one block off Duval is perfect. 1/2 block down from here is Anna's market and the breakfast there is a habit. Good food on the porch... more

I was planning an epic adventure to the Keys by Harley and I needed an affordable place to stay once I got there. The blue marlin fit the bill to a tee. I pulled in late in the afternoon and promptly was greeted by the desk clerk as I dismounted my bike in front of the door. I talked with... more

The rooms have been upgraded, I have stayed there 3+ times over the last 3-4 years. This past New Year, we received a not so pleasant New Years welcome when we were refused late check out of any sort, and one of my friends rooms was barged in on and told the police had been called...aprox. :30 after they were... more
