Affordable and Comfy Bed in great Cape location.

Megan was amazing. We had to have a suoer late check in. She texted instructions for opening a lock box, had our keys, a map where our room was and wifi code. The room had a fabulous mattress sooooo comfy, 5 pillows a nice white comforter and the room was chilled to perfection. A nice mini fridge, hair dryer, separate toiler room and shower and sinks outside the bathroom door to make them accessible for two people getting ready. The sling chairs were comfy. My only complaint would be no reading lamp by the comfy chairs. Great value and location.

Overall, it was a good place to stay. The lobby does not stay open past 4 (first issue...what place has a lobby that closes at 4pm). The keys were in a lock box and when opening the door, there was a naked man in bed. It took a while to find someone who could help but finally got in the correct room...even though it was connected to the room with the naked man in it. The next morning moved rooms and had another issue the next night (did not check everything when got to the room) when there was no remote for the tv. Went to the Tiki Bar (which is affiliated with the hotel...same owner) and asked the bartender who could help. She asked the manager and the manager said "not my f'ing problem". Apparently, the person that is supposed to help out at night (found out next morning he lives on premises) sits in bar and smokes/drinks all day and was nowhere to be found that night. A remote is not a huge issue, and got one the next morning, but again, the manager was useless and rude. The front-end manager was very helpful (when there...not her issue), the rooms were cleaned daily and they did a great job, the bartenders especially Julie (dark hair) and Joe Joe were great. If not for the manager...his lack of care, rudeness and poor management it was not a bad place at all. He needs to go...TODAY (wait, long ago)!!!

Tiki Bar food and drinks were good. However, STAFF and WAIT times were Terrible! Constantly had to wait nearly 15-30 minutes to ORDER any food or beverages, even when barely 10 guests in Tiki bar! Wait times nearly double for food & drinks to arrive! Staff very rude when ordering, or asking for update on order. Dolphin Key does NOT allow outside food or drinks at pool, so they NEED to drastically improve their Tiki Bar service! We had 12 people in our group, we all experienced same POOR service during our 4 day stay! 2 hour wait for Breakfast order on slow day! Tiki Bar smells like an Ashtray because they allow smoking & vaping in enclosed space! My credit card was charged TWICE for same order on same day, NO accountability from staff to correct it! Had contacted them THREE times to correct charges! My Credit Card company agreed to reverse duplicate charges!
