Booked a room relatively last minute (late 4/07) for a mid-May stay. Was very happy with price of room, and it was very clean. The location was perfect, as it was further away from the loud restaurants/bars on Duval Street, while it was still within walking distance of everything. Since the island is so small, walking to Sunset Pier nightly was no big deal. Loved being so close to the beach and having a small pool at the hotel. The staff was great (DJ was very friendly) and maintained the property nicely. Would definitely return.

It was a good friend's 50th Birthday and our little group wanted to do something nice, fun and not to expensive for our friend to celebrate. We decided to go to Key West for a weekend.

It was my husband's and my responsibility to book the rooms. Not an easy task to find five (5) rooms at a fairly inexpensive rate on short notice in Key West at this time of the year. I came across the Ocean Breeze Inn in Key West a renovated 1940's era motel and called to see if they had availablility. I spoke to Phillip who helped me to book the rooms. He was polite, cheerful, helpful and very patient with our different arrival dates & times. I also spoke with DJ when we needed to make a room type change and he was just as helpful and polite as Phillip.

Although the hotel was located 2 blocks East and South of the quieter end of Duval street it ended up being a blessing because we were able to get away from all the craziness and it was within walking distance and/or a short cab ride away. There were also several places to eat & a small grocery about 1 block away. The only thing lacking was an ice machine on the premises.

The rooms were perfect for our group. All rooms are non-smoking with 1 King bed, 1 queen or 1 queen & a double. They were clean and large with a bar area and bar stools, bar sink, microwave and small refigerator. Great for sitting around chit chatting & having a few drinks. The A/C units worked great, too! The rooms we booked were all around the pool area and at that time were $199/nt for the king and queen/double rooms and $179/nt for the queen only room. Phillip even gave us a discount per night because we were booking five (5) rooms.

The pool area is located in the center of the main building (10 rms around the pool) and is small only 4'10" deep but was perfect for cooling off and beach towels were provided in our rooms. There are also speakers located on the building around the pool area with music playing. The pool and pool furniture were in pretty good shape.

Each morning by the office they set up some breakfast items such as cereal, milk, juice, muffins, etc. for all the guests if they wanted.

Our friend really enjoyed his birthday as did we all and talked about getting together again. Our whole group agreed that this was one of the nicest stays and that we will definately stay at this hotel the next time we are in Key West. Please check out this property you won't be disappointed.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Located at the quieter end of Duval...but it is within easy walking distance to all the bars/restaurants though. Also nearby to a couple of the beaches. Decent continental breakfast offered. The rooms were nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again.

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!
