What guests think

At Waterside Suites and Marina, guests highlight spacious two-level suites with kitchens and balconies overlooking the canal, a convenient location near dive charters and restaurants, and generally friendly staff, while noting occasional evening noise from the bar across the water.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many suites are spotless, yet recurring reports mention roaches or bugs, dirty floors, and lingering odors. Facilities are simple with a small pool and good parking, but guests cite intermittent hot-water or water-pressure issues, lots of stairs and no elevator, app-based laundry hassles, and surprise fees or costly boat docking. Expect roomy apartment-style stays with water views and easy access, balanced by variable service and maintenance.

The room we booked had a broken AC. Had to repack and move to another room. No sofa. Broken patio blinds/no privacy. The smell of marijuanna wafted through the pool area. Front desk girls eyes were glazed over. Paid $90 a night to tie our boat up to a barnacle crusted sea wall with half pilings to tie up. We had to rent a car to buy 5 fenders to keep the boat from crashing into the wall. URGH!

We are no strangers to Waterside Suites as this is our second time staying. The overall condition of the property was good and it appeared that staff were doing their best in updating and maintaining it. The guest services staff was extremely polite and thorough ensuring that we knew where to park, where our room was located, and instructions for the pool and ice machine. The room is VERY spacious with the upstairs being an entire bedroom with shower. Although this unit had a bed in the living area, it was a nice space just to chill and watch television. The kitchen offered a nice sink, refrigerator, microwave and stove, along with dishes and utensils. The balcony was huge and could easily seat 4-6 people, even though for this trip it was only two of us. The balcony overlooks a canal which was nice, and the pool was refreshing. The only two negatives were that there was only one ice machine available, and a drain around the pool was clogged. This place was affordable and easy to access the Overseas highway. Honestly, probably the best deal for the size of room that you'll find in Key Largo. I would 100% stay here again.

Centrally located and very spacious for the price. Property grounds were a little rough. No housekeeping during stay, which was explained upfront. The place could have used a broom, more than 3 each of forks and spoons and hand towels. Minimally stocked would be a good description. Our elderly dog had some trouble with the strep stairs to the bedroom. For the price it was definitely adequate and reasonable and met our needs. The canal view was nice too.

We booked a room at this hotel as it offered two beds and two separate rooms which was perfect for us and our adult daughter. The room is nicely renovated and we enjoyed the small balcony overlooking the canal. The downside is that we were charged a $50 resort fee. The only amenity the hotel offered was a very small pool that we had no interest in using. The other downside was when we asked for additional towels and coffee. They were not brought to the room which would’ve been nice after paying a $50 resort fee.

The king bed upstairs was very comfortable. Location was perfect. We close to all the dive charters and walkable to skippers dock side for drinks. Having a balcony overlooking the canal was nice. The ac was a bit loud when it kicked on but kept the unit nice and cool. The pool is simple but well maintained.

The rooms are spacious and very recently and tastefully refurbished. Great balconies and marina view. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The area around the building was however a bit run down and there was debris, stored "materials" and other stuff everywhere especially around the parking spaces. Very small pool area always full of kids and a bit unusable. I would definitely stay again, if I'll be away during the day, otherwise not a hanging out property.

The furnishings were great. The host staff always very. However, the bottles of toiletries were empty and had to request more. The did not come until the next morning so I used hand soap to shower. But the worst part was the roaches and other bugs. They were in the kitchen cabinets and on the couters. I also found them in the bathroom. Unless something changes, I will never stay there again. I believe we need some kind of compensation for this stay!

Some really nice things and some bad things, I will highlight the good first: The office associates were polite & friendly. The residence felt clean, bedding looked and felt clean, bathrooms were immaculate, towels very white and fresh, provided hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers, extra rolls of toilet paper, nasal tissues, nice contemporary updates to bathrooms and upstairs bedroom, and balcony had nice view. The bad: there was musky odor upon entrance, not terrible but very noticeable upon entry. I observed small cockroach running across the kitchen counter, as well as 2 smaller roaches running across the floor. The ceiling fan in the bedroom would not come on. Note: roaches need evaluated ASAP as they look like they could be the german cockroach, if so it is a very new colony and should be fairly easily remedied if dealt with right away. I saw NONE in bathrooms and upstairs, only in kitchen.

Rooms

Large, two-level suites with kitchens and canal-view balconies are a standout, and many units feel updated and comfortable. Some guests report evening noise from across the canal, wear or minor faults (e.g., broken blinds or missing shower panels), and steep stairs.

Really lovely place. The rooms are huge, only a bit dated, but fantastic overall. If the pool had a net available to remove dead bees and the hotel had at least a snack shop - even better, a bar - then I would give it 10 out of 10. As it is, it’s a solid 8 as it really is fantastic at doing the basics very well and the rooms are, as mentioned, huge, as well as comfortable, well cooled with the aircon and the views of the inland waterway from the balconies are brilliant. Would definitely stay here again without question!

We enjoyed our three nights at Waterside Suites. Large, comfortable, recently renovated loft suite with a full kitchen and a balcony facing the marina. Staff professional and courteous, and the cookies in the main office a nice touch. A little noisy at night because of the bar and restaurant right across the marina from our suite but it would usually calm down most nights before 11 pm. The hotel is within walking distance of several restaurants. Recommend Doc’s Diner for breakfast. Always appreciate free parking on the premises. A word of caution for people with mobility issues because there are some stairs to climb up to the units and another flight from the main floor to the bedroom. Not an issue for us but I can see it being a bit of a challenge for some people. All in all, a reasonably priced alternative to some of the chain hotels nearby.

Check-in was simple and the peanut butter cookies were amazing! The suite is the perfect size to hang out between activities and extremely safe.

The staff takes a lazy approach to early check-ins. An early check-in request is a request, and it can understandably be approved or denied. The staff is a hard NO and inflexible. Regardless of whether a room is available, there is a 15:00 check-in period. There are better hotel options in Key Largo.

This property and their management need to treat their staff better and provide their guests with adequate support. When we checked in, the front desk attendant was not friendly. Our key cards were dysfunctional twice. On the second instance there was no one at the front desk and we were locked out of our room. The only way that I was able to get back into the room was by climbing over our neighbors balcony and going into the balcony door, which we luckily left unlocked. When I tried to get the situation rectified the next morning, the front desk person was impatient and extremely rude. I don’t blame them since it was clear that they didn’t have adequate support from their leadership. In addition to that, the air conditioning in the room was not good on the second floor. Overall, the place has opportunity. But it’s clear that they don’t want to invest in providing their guests with an enjoyable stay.

Our room was infested with bugs. When I spoke to the front desk they told me that because I booked with Hotels.com I have to contact them for a refund. The pictures are from the bed we were sleeping in. We woke up at 12:30am because we felt them in our bed. By the time we got moved to another room we did not get back to bed until 3am. This was not a restful night. The hotel denied Hotels.com permission for a refund stating that we left the windows open and that is why there were bugs in the room. We explained that there are 3 stages of bug life present Larva, mature bugs and dead wings shedded. The picture show this. You can not get larva, live bugs and dead bugs from leaving a window open (which we also did not do). This has become a blame game and a maze of calling for resolution after not sleeping last night and while on vacation.

We stayed here for two nights for a wedding and were pleasantly surprised by our suite which was very spacious. The only thing we were not happy about was that the hotel would not allow us to have early check in. They seem to have a strict no early check in policy even though that is not advertised. We called the day before and they told us to call the next morning and when we called the next morning they told us there was no early check in available. We arrived to check in around 2:30 and they made us wait until exactly 3pm.

Next the marina, you can watch boats come in and out. The suite was clean. Great normal size kitchen. Large balcony on the first floor. You park your car under your side. Two inner sides have ramps. Two other sides have stairs. I dont like too many steps but i managed. Staff super friendly, ask every day of you need towels or turn downs. At night super quiet. There is a restaurant on thr opposite of the marina named sharkeys. We went there for dinner on night. Super casual fun bar. The pool was clean. Plenty of lounge chairs.

When we arrived the front desk agent was very accommodating and put us in a room away from the bar/restaurant across the canal. We did hear the music playing but enjoyed it very much. It ended at 10-10:30 pm which was fine. The room was as described, quite roomy and clean. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by. There is tea, coffee and fresh baked cookies in the reception area. The pool looked nice although we didn't get a chance to get in. The location is great! There is a wonderful diner within a few mins drive named Doc's, I think. We had a very good, resonably priced breakfast there. It has a long history and the service and portions were great. We would definitely stay at Waterside Suites if in the area again. I do, however, feel compelled to mention one thing, though. When went to bed at night I found a live roach under my pillow. We took care of it but it didn't keep me awake as the place is very clean and that can happened, and has, to us, even at the best hotels. So, I wouldn't let it keep me from staying there again. When we departed we did report it to the reception agent. She was surprised and said she would tell management. So, I would recommend this all suite hotel to anyone looking for a reasonably priced overnight stay with a great view.
