Had a great time here. Towels were clean everyday, coffee was available at the bar at our convenience, check in was simple as well as the door lock, happy with our decision to stay here, This is our 2nd time here and we will be back again.

Very cozy and clean place, very safe area, and across the street from shopping and groceries. 5 minutes drive to
beautiful Sombrero Beach. Will stay there again, if available, the next time we travel to the area.

Clean room & very comfortable bed. Family style atmosphere despite the tiki bar, not exactly our style but great for families! Perfect location and one of the best places to stay in Marathon. No beach view or access though.
