I booked in October '24 for the Point Break Festival in June '25. The pictures advertised a balcony but I realized in March that the listing actually says "oceanview" so I called to confirm whether or not my room had a balcony, the woman emphatically said yes, I had reserved a balcony room. On June 12th I called again to ask about parking. I double checked about my view, asking if we could see the beach from the balcony. She gave a wishy-washy "kind of". We check in, I pay the balance, and get on the elevator that we would soon find out is constantly malfunctioning (no inspection certificate posted in either one.) We get to the room and there is a sealed window overlooking the parking lot next door. No balcony and barely a view of water 3 blocks down. I spoke with the supervisor who told me that my room was changed in April in order to accommodate my reservation. She said that means they probably didn't have the room available when I booked it but that usually an oceanview balcony would change to a marina view balcony so she wasn't sure what happened and could only apologize. I think I locked in a good price on a room with a loophole that allowed them to deceive me. I called twice to clarify the details of the room so this is a reminder to get everything in writing. Obviously, the whole beach was booked for Point Break. No manager, no refund. I was left with no options and walked away from this experience just knowing that I'm not the first person they've done this to.

Smell in hotel was like walking into panda express with the smell throughout hotel both nights. Elevator is horrendous and wait times are insane- yes they have stairs but when you are on 5th floor with a cart full of luggage thats not acceptable.

We stayed at this hotel for an event we came to town for. Overall, the cleanliness of Ocean Key was not my favorite. Many of the sheets / towels had stains, which should be thrown out if the stains won’t come out, and be replaced. Our second day, our door wouldn’t lock. I told the front desk, and maintenance came right up to fix it, which was great. It was odd to have the pool and front desk area combined. It’s really humid in that area. The staff was fairly nice / personable, but I don’t believe we would stay here again.

The pictures that they posted on the website, Expedia look nothing like the actual property. It is rundown and pretty dirty. There’s no housekeeping I had to clean my own room and change my own sheets.

Avoid this place at all costs. It’s not worth it to stay here. Do yourself a favor and choose another place! The property is dark and grungy. The room was awkward, dirty and everything was broken or missing it seemed. On the particular day I was going to stay, the AC was down and it was ridiculously hot. The front desk personnel didn’t seem to care or want to share except when I probed them. One of them had a smirk when I mentioned it and started asking them questions. Honesty would be nice, not just filling dirty-broken rooms. Traveler beware and don’t stay here!!!

Room was exactly what we needed but the door continually beeped and tub water wouldn’t shut off. One whole day and night with no air conditioning. One day with no pool. They never cleaned our room.
