Key West, Florida Keys

Virgin rating

The hotel

Key West's historic Old Town has an enchanting ambience with its pretty, tree-lined streets and ornate architecture. The Ocean Key Resort is one of the only hotels to be located right on Mallory Square, overlooking the ocean and giving you front-row seats to the spectacular sunsets. Myriad street entertainers make the square come alive and you can wander between jugglers, 'statues' and performers — or simply retire to the hotel's fantastic Sunset Pier bar and grill, which serves delicious chargrilled seafood and refreshing cocktails with which to toast the setting sun.

We had a great time at Ocean Key. Loved our room. The staff was very friendly. Shout out to Mitch the concierge. He was so helpful and such a nice guy. Loved the pool and pool bar. Shout out to Jessica at the pool bar. She was awesome. Enjoyed the free drinks at the lobby bar. The bartender was great to chat with.

The Ocean Key was pretty spectacular for the price. The staff and property are amazing, can’t beat the location. Pool and Sunset Pier are incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this stay. Book directly through the hotel for the best experience.

What a great stay at Ocean Key! Situated at 0 Duval St, you're right in the middle of all the action and have great water views from your room (if you book an ocean view) or the pool area. Check-in was truly seamless - the friendly valet took our suitcases and after a quick check-in helped us to our room. We were in Room 426 which we were told was a recently renovated room and it looked like it. The entire atmosphere of the resort is beautiful. I esp. like that the parking garage (valet only) is right there on the 1st level and when you're walking the 2nd floor hallway it's open air with really nice foliage (hard to explain, but it's really pretty) covering the garage below. Pros: 1. Location Location Location 2. The room was clean, spacious, and had a nice balcony with a partial ocean view. 3. Watch the sunset from the pool deck to avoid the Mallory Square crowds. 4. Service was spot on throughout our stay. 5. The Rum Bar in the lobby is fantastic! 6. We tried room service breakfast one morning and it was delicious as well as reasonably priced. Cons: 1. They provide a card in the room to schedule your housekeeping and they didn't come at all on our first full day. I needed to call the front desk for towels later that evening. 2. The shower was spacious with great toiletries, but the water pressure was anemic. Read less
