We arrived for a late check-in at 10 PM. There was no one there, and we never received any instructions on how to get into our room. When we called the after-hours phone number, it went straight to voicemail, and no one ever called us back. I do grant that the check-in desk was very apologetic the next day when they realized the situation.
We stayed in the Mermaid Room-first floor, building 2. The room had no soap, dust covering the ceiling, and the walls had a bamboo texture that was falling off in places. The bed was not comfortable. Overall, it had a very neglected feel. We would not stay here again.
Very thorough directions to get to both the main building and our designated room. We came in late and it was dark, so much appreciated!
The room was clean and large enough to accommodate the 3 of us. Staff was very friendly.
The room was good, not quite what we were expecting from the description, but good. There was no water pressure really at all. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was a nice place, just not quite as described.
Pleasant pool & walk to Porky’s for drinks & dinner - no car needed
Room was clean & tidy. No luxuries but very serviceable
AC worked & sleep was comfortable
All in all a good stay for 2-3 nights
We stayed at Captain Pips about 5 years ago on our first trip to the Keys. We hadn't stayed in Marathon since then and decided to revisit and stay here again.
Pros:
-Well stocked with kitchen supplies
-Great location and short drives to beaches and stores
-On-site store for little items, snacks, etc.
Cons
-We stayed on a lower level this time. There is a THIN door inside that connects to the room on the other side. You can hear everything - and I mean everything - that your neighbors are doing. There are no private conversations. Thankfully we didn't have to deal with people carrying on late into the night.
-Our trip was during the big cold snap. The bedroom ac/heat unit worked fine the first 2 nights. Third day it stopped working completely. Called the maintenance number, left a message, never got a response. Went the rest of the stay without ever being contacted or fixed. Luckily there was enough extra linens to stay warm through the nights.
-"Ocean" view is meh as you're going to mostly be looking at docked boats.
I'd rate it at 3-1/2 stars if I could. There's something that doesn't feel as welcoming as other places we've stayed at in the Keys, and we've stayed at a lot of different places. Here you feel more like a number and not a guest. We had fond memories of our first visit, but the cons were enough that we won't stay here again.
The room was clean and spacious. The bed was uncomfortable for me – extremely firm – so, I didn’t sleep well. Liked that the place was within walking distance to Porky’s bar/restaurant. While we were there it was too cold, wet and windy to take advantage of the amenities like bikes and kayaks. :(
Overall nice stay. Good location. Mini golf, 7 mile bridge etc nearby. Free bikes available. The marina area is dirty, dead fish, old chair, a tire, it was gross to kayak in. Room outdated. Just a new chair, dresser and painting cabinets would help.
