Posts: 353 Key Largo | I'm making a general post since some folks may be interested. I hardly ever read my email on this account and there was an old one in there from last month inquiring about cheap rooms for Tradewinds. Here's a very short list of places I know of around here. And remember to haggle any place. Despite what they may tell you it is NOT high season here during Tradewinds. I haven't researched their room rates, but these are local mom and pop places you might not know about: Key Lantern Drop AnchorHarbor LightsTavernier Inn If any other locals know of some little spots please post in this thread. | | | Re: It's not too late for motels for Tradewinds

Thanks.
