Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at Ocean Reef and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The property felt extremely run down… the floors were literally ripping up, and everything seemed neglected. The overall cleanliness was a major issue. I found roaches in the room, and the towels provided were dirty, which was completely unacceptable. Also as you can see in the picture attached the sheets were also stained. The whole place just gave off a grimy, unkept vibe, making it hard to feel comfortable or relaxed. For the price, I expected at least basic cleanliness and upkeep, but Ocean Reef fell far below that standard. I would not recommend staying here until they seriously invest in cleaning, maintenance, and pest control.

Not like photographs

This hotel was nothing like the pictures on hotels.com. It was run down. Smelled like beer, vomit and urine. The elevator was gross. When i checked the bed for bugs, the sheets felt wet. They had stains, in need of replacement. I went down to the office and informed them I could not stay there and checked out. The landscaping and parking lot needed to be redone. Again nothing like the pictures. The front end staff said they sent in updated photographs. The staff do the best they can. I blame the owner for not investing into his property.
