“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

We chose Ocean Key Resort for our first trip to Key West. It's a lovely hotel in a great location. You are right at the ocean but the cruise ships do not overshadow your view. Duval Street and Mallory Square are right there. Southernmost Point is a reasonable walk away, as are the Hemingway House and even closer, the Truman White House.
Having stayed during a fairly quiet time of the season (12/2-12/5), it amazes me that hotels crowd guests together. We knew exactly when our neighbors got in as we'd hear their room door slam and hear talking through the adjoining door. I also think that on occasion, hotel management should stay in every room to see what's what. For a 4 star hotel, it was disappointing to see the dirt on the exterior balcony door, the scratch marks on some walls, and the closet doors off the rollers. For the price, I'd expect near perfect.
Bottom line-I'd stay again--can't beat the great location!

“Rather Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012 via mobile

For the price, one would expect more. The wifi rarely worked, our bed was unmade one day, the sofa bed was marginal (especially when we had booked a room with 2 actual beds). The location was great as were the room service breakfasts, however. The concierge was very helpful, also. We are checking out early due to the lack of wifi and the excuses we were given for why it didn't work (high tides in November?!?).

“Excellent and terrible customer service during our stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

Recently stayed at the hotel property over the Labor Day Weekend. Excellent Excellent service from thee Hot Tin Roof Restaurant staff. The Restaurant manager (I believe his name was Issac) has trained his staff to provide friendly, attentive service that makes you feel at home. Bell staff, housekeeping staff, Security staff very pleasant. Night manager Bruce was very unpleasant appeared we were bothering him when we requested a late check out and when we asked for directions to a local bar. Would have marked all 5 stars had it not been for tha unpleasant experience.

Room Tip: Rooms facing Mallory square can be a little bit noisy in the a.m due to roosters crowing and at nigh...
