Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On the third night of our 3-night stay and wishing we could stay forever! We splurged on a direct ocean front room and it is worth every penny. This place is by no means fancy but it is old Florida at its finest: cozy, chill, unpretentious. Add in a heated pool and a drip (not pod!!) coffeemaker and all boxes have been checked. As with most of the upper keys there is no true walkout sandy beach but you can use the kayak ramp to get in an ocean swim. Note mucky bottom so mann up or wear swim shoes! Received lovely service from Daniel at front desk and housekeeper could not have been kinder. DROP ANCHOR IS A GEM

Perfect boutique style hotel
This hotel is a real gem. Location is ideal, right on the water with a pool and very comfortable spots to take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. You truly feel like you are off the grid at this very tranquil spot. The staff is extremely kind, and they even let you borrow kayaks to explore.

I have stayed at drop anchor inn several times and will keep going back. It’s so typical of what the Florida Keys has to offer. I just love it there. I live in Fort Lauderdale and going down to the Keyes is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend drop anchor Inn.

Air conditioners are fully of mold, blowing directly into your face in bed. I refused to let me family stay there. Checked out as fast as I checked in. Still have not received a refund from Expedia or the property for the resort and pet fee.

Vanessa

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My boyfriend and I stayed here one night on Saturday, March 8th. The property was okay...but not anywhere near worth $400 for the night..even on a Saturday during spring break. Biggest issue was the old TV in the room - the screen died after 15mins of use. It came back on after 5minutes, and then died again promptly after that.. I let the office know, and the next day they called me saying "the TV is perfectly fine." So, they don't believe their guests when they say something is wrong. No refund either. So if you stay in Room 16, beware that the old TV dies after 15 minutes of being on.
