“Beautiful and clean!”

Ocean Breeze Inn

May 14, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

My husband and I visited Key West in April 2008 and stayed at Ocean Breeze Inn for 2 nights. I had done a lot of research (yes, on Tripadvisor!) and finally chose this Inn, as a smaller, quiet place and reasonably priced. The booking was done with no problem on their web site and I received a confirmation e-mail promptly.

We arrived around 12:00 (check-in was 2:00) and asked a younger man at the office to leave our bags there while we walk around. He seemed a little confused (and quite busy, with phones constantly ringing) and was at first unsure if he could take the bags or not. Apparently, some other people had left their bags at the office as well. I found this a little odd, but he was still very polite. From other reviews, I was expecting DJ to be extremely helpful, but later on we found out the young man was not him.

At first, we were not sure where to stay in Key West, but the Ocean Breeze Inn turned out to be the best location possible! It is located on a fairly quiet street in a residential area of Key West. Just down the street are some beautiful private homes and you can get a feel for the real Key West. If you want "touristy" - the Inn is about 2 blocks from Duval Street. Ocean Breeze Inn is surprisingly quiet and away from all this hustle and bustle, but still a very short walking distance. And you do not need a car to get around! You can walk everywhere. The Inn is a motel type property, with a tiny pool (it is really tiny!) and an office in the middle and another small building at the back. It looks very clean and well kept, however, from the outside, I was a little unsure as to what to expect in terms of accommodation. We stayed in room 7, which is a Deluxe Pool Side room. When we opened the door to our room, what a pleasant surprise! The room was huge, it looked like a condo, with a full kitchen, and a huge area that is a closet / make-up area. The bathroom was quite small, but had a window, which I liked. There is also a dining room table and a living room area, with a walk-out to a fenced-in patio. This is one of the roomiest, brightest and most pleasant hotel rooms I've ever seen.

The day was very hot, but the room was comfortably cool, AC was working perfectly. The room felt like paradise, you close the door and you are away from everything. It was a super clean, comfortable and enjoyable room! Really, I can't say enough about how lovely it was. If you want peace and quiet after busy Duval Street, this will be your oasis.

What we really liked and appreciated was the breakfast that they offer. It is very basic (muffins, cereal, bananas, coffee, etc.) but this was exactly what me and my husband were craving for after days of eating eggs, bacon and sausages, etc while staying in Florida. There is not too much food, and it goes fast, I guess guests really appreciate it.

We finally met DJ on Monday when we were checking out, he had to deal with some pool problems, but I could tell it was him. When I asked if we could leave our bags after checking out, he promptly said "Absolutely, no problem". He seems like he genuinely cares about his property and his guests and it shows.

We really liked the Ocean Breeze Inn, it contributed greatly to making our stay in Key West memorable and enjoyable. Thank you DJ and keep up the good work!

“Small but CLEAN”

Ocean Breeze Inn

3 of 5 stars
Central Ohio
Feb 22, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

After reading numerous reviews on Trip Advisor, I booked two nights at the Ocean Breeze Inn for my husband and me. Let me start out by saying our accommodations in the "Cozy Queen" Room 25 were CLEAN. I had read so many negative reviews about experiences in the Keys with rodents, bugs, etc., that cleanliness was my top priority. The OBI is CLEAN. I checked with other guests who verified that their rooms were indeed top on the cleanliness scale as well. Looked like the walls had been recently painted. Linens were crisp and clean. Okay, that said, our room was extremely small. There was a queen bed with one night stand - not much room on either side of the bed. There was a small square table, two chairs and a small refrig & microwave opposite the bed, but there wasn't really room enough to sit at the table. The bathroom was proprotionately larger. Nice large shower, hanging rod for clothes and a suitcase stand. 3-drawer wicker dresser with glass top with ample space for toiletries, etc. Hair dryer provided. Plenty of light in both areas. Ample towels and pool towels provided. Ah, the pool... this has to be the smallest in-ground pool we've ever seen... a sign posted at the pool area stated that the "maximum occupancy" was 8 people! Several lounge chairs provided. But again... all was clean and well maintained. The 4 round tables with umbrellas served as seating for the continental breakfast. Breakfast was just sweet rolls, muffins, juice, coffee, cereal, milk, fresh fruit. "Philip" also placed a coffee maker in our room as I had requested. Each room has a parking space... We never moved the car until we left the island. The hotel rents bikes for $15.00 a day and I highly recommend getting around the town this way. Parking down by Mallory Square, Duvall Street, etc. varies from $4/hr to $35/day... if you can find a space! The rental bikes are in good shape, have a roomy basket and the hotel provides a substantial lock. Plenty of bike racks around Key West. We paid $233/night... not what you would expect for that price but Kew West is very PRICEY. Remember it is small... but we really didn't spent much time in the room. The 5 rooms in back of the main building, have small decks... that's where I had my moring coffee before the breakfast was ready and where I read.

“Cute and Quaint”

Ocean Breeze Inn

5 of 5 stars
Waynesville NC
Jan 24, 2008
3/4 found this review helpful

Upon arrival at the Ocean Breeze we were warmly welcomed by DJ, he showed us several rooms for us to choose from but was not pushy in trying to get us to upgrade our previously reserved room, he just wanted to show us our options. He was very friendly and answered all of our touristy questions. Our room was clean and cozy and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights and our only complaint would be that they ran out of coffee by 8:40 each morning but that is because some of the other guests were filling huge travel mugs instead of using the smaller styrofoam cups provided. It wasn't that big of an issue, but when you've got your whole day planned in crazy Key West, you want to get up and get moving fast! We brought our own bicycles and never got back in the car until it was time to go home:(
We would definitely go back to the Ocean Breeze Inn

“Can't wait to return!!!!”

Ocean Breeze Inn

3/3 found this review helpful

My finance and I stayed here for Thanksgiving. This place is great. It is located on the quiet end of Duval and only one block from the beach. The place is keep very clean and DJ is absolutely great. We felt very welcomed and appreciated. Key West is a very quaint island with lots of family owned business which we loved. Ocean Breeze definately fits the bill. It only has about 20 rooms if that and they are well worth the price. We caught a special "Book 3 nights get 1 free". We can't wait to return to Ocean Breeze Inn.
