Hey guys,

Me and my buddies are planning a trip down to Key Largo the first weekend of April. I found some great information on dive operators, but I am having some trouble finding some cheaper lodging. I was hoping to find a small mom and pop motel somewhere for under $70 a night. A few years ago I found a place in Marathon for $45/night, is it possible to find similar rates in Key Largo? Thanks for your help.

Now that you have copy and pasted the yellow pages to the board....

For under $70.00 a night good luck! There are some cheaper places like the Hungry Pelican you'll just have to call and see what you can get, when.

I just stayed at Jules Undersea and it was $99.00 I did not haggle to get the $80.00 rate as I was too tired and the $11.00 was not worth it. You can rooms in the keys with double beds (two) and a trundle which is two more small singles. That is four peeps in a room that is a great way to cut cost.

The other option is Hotel Coleman.

Check out Gilbert's, Neptune's, Ed & Ellen's, and the Hungry Pelican. Budget rooms are scarce during the winter months.
 
Thanks for the input guys. I will post a follow up on what I find.
 
I'm surprised by the dearth of response to this thread given how many folks visit here... I can't offer any first hand experience, but I ran across this link that might be helpful: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3832808/
If budget is more important than environs, Florida City is going to be cheaper than anything in the Keys. If that's objectionable, there's a motel at the entry of Key Largo that was advertising $49/night a few months ago, though I think they've since raised their rates. I'm going up to Miami tomorrow, if they still have the sign, I'll post the rate.
 
Not a dearth of responses; this subject was well-covered already. I stay at Amy Slate's. Not cheap, but excellent accomodations.

Times are different. We used to camp on the beach or stay at a campground on, I think, Bahia Honda.

Gilberts $69/night.
Have Fun!
