My family and friends have stayed at El Patio many times over the last few years and absolutely love the place. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing. Every stay has been a great experience, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

My husband and I felt like we were transported to the 1950s. It was wonderful to get away from everything and go back. We parked our car and never used it again. Everything was within walking distance. In the room, we loved the floors, and the bed was exquisite. Our stay at the El patio was everything that we needed.

I'm rating this based on its star rating and what I already knew about the motel based on its listing so read it carefully, it would be unfair to mark this place down by comparing it to other places of higher rating. This place is a wonderful dive ? if you're looking for quiet, comfort and classic amenities then... keep looking! This is a place for excellent location, cheap and cheerful and "gets the job done" For UK based tourists - I'd liken it to glamping in one of those rounded huts, better than a tent but not quite a hotel standard. The staff are lovely, the clientele are roudy and the beds are hard - all in all. A good experience! I absolutely would not recommend for families unless you have a sense of humour ?

The El Patio Motel proved to be a comfortable, clean and well located place to stay while in Key West. While sitting on the rooftop deck you can see the hotels that cost more than twice as much 2 blocks away. In my opinion this is a classic beach motel but with beautifully landscaped grounds, a very clean pool (I'm pretty sure it's a saltwater pool too which they should mention on their hotel sight as many prefer them) a somewhat convenient location, and great housekeeping. Aside from the roosters (they're everywhere) it provided a quiet environment just a few blocks from the noise and action and was conveniently located to some of the beaches as well. The bike rental was a big plus as well, we were thankful to have those on site. In summary, while it does show it's age in places, it's a well kept, clean place to stay that provided a comfortable environment and comfortable beds (pillows were a little too big for us, but that's all part of traveling). We would stay here again. If you want to be in the heart of the action, it may not be the best option for you, but if you want a jumping point to go and explore it all, it's a great "home base" while in Key West.

This motel is an amazing value with time honered tradition of excellence. Very clean environment, top notch staff taking care of the property and excellent service in all aspects. The layout of the property allows for privacy and quiet evenings and in general it is a beautiful place on the islands. Do be sure to run up the stairs to the hotel top patio...it is truly incredible!

Great location. Easy walking distance to most attractions. Nice pool and areas to sit outside. Rooms are dated which is fine but the beds in our room were rock hard and did not allow for any decent sleep during our stay.

El Patio was a nice place to stay. Close to all the southern island poi to. A bit of a walk to get to the Duvall St hot spots. We used Ubers to get around the island. Quick and cheap. The hotel was older, but well maintained. The pool was nice as well. Lots of parking. And bikes to rent if you want. But those dang roosters. Don't expect to sleep in.

El Patio is a gem to Old Town Key West! My family had a wonderful time visiting. The rooms along with the exterior are very well kept and very clean. We loved the vintage art deco vibe as well. I would recommend to anyone planning to visit Key West. We plan to visit again soon.

We have stayed here on three different occasions in three different years. Yes, this is an old-school hotel building with all the charm of Key West. If you are looking for giant TVs and fancy coffee makers don’t come to Key West. You are supposed to be out of your room listening to great music and living the island life with a Cuban Coffee. What they do have is a great outdoor patio on the rooftop to unwind after a busy day on Duval and a fantastic staff. We camped on Dry Tortuga in the middle of our stay and they made several accommodations I am sure other hotels would not have. The staff is great and we recommend calling the property direct for the best service. We will be back to ElPatio, two big thumbs up!

Older motel in pretty good shape. Nice courtyard and rooftop lounge area. Beds are ok, shower head could be upgraded. Linens are plush. Rooms are good sized, but mine wasn't optimally appointed. No coffee maker. Affordable, as it relates to Key West prices.
