    Terrible service

    I was so disappointed in Sheraton Sand Keys we were promise a gulf view as Bonvoy member front desk was not accommodated and didn't try at all . My room was facing back of the hotel by a shed this experienced was terrible will not be returning . The room was not clean ,dust was everywhere and lamp fixture was broken. Secondly the parking was $ 75 for two nights total rip off . This a money pit hotel for sure .
