Guests love the Lighthouse Hotel's quintessential Key West location across from the Hemingway House and exceptional hospitality, particularly from the pool bar staff. However, visitors may find the rooms small, dated, and noisy due to surrounding construction and landscaping.
I gave our 6 night, 7 day stay overall a five star rating. ? ???? The location and service was perfect. The Lighthouse Hotel is close enough to all the attractions that we walked everywhere. One block from Duval Street, about a 10 min walk to the Butterfly experience and the Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S. for a photo op with the famous buoy. About 15-25 min walk down to the Aquaruim, Mallory Sq,The Sunset Peir and JBs Shrimpboat Sound Recording Studio. A 25 min walk to Fort Zachery Fort and beach. While at the hotel we spent most of our time pool side at Isabel's with Jefferson, our top notch bartender and host for the week. 5 star to him ? ????. He was skilled, professional and his hospitality was exceptional. He was engagable, offering history and personal experiences of Key West to make us love it even more. Best host ever. He made me a few special high-quality drinks as I celebrated my birthday. This hotel is quaint, dog friendy with a tropical feel. It does have no dog designated areas. The palm trees and greenery flowing in the breeze throughout is absolute heaven. The grounds offer ample intimate shadded sitting areas. There is a small heated pool. The pool side bar Isabel's includes a welcome drink, breakfast with exceptional bar service. They offer coffee, tea, water and ice 24/7. The stay included breakfast until 10am. Bagels, toast, pastries, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and mozzarella bites. And they have a small breakfast menu to purchase. For sale at Isabel's they have directional signposts that you can paint where you're from and they hang them up. The pool is small but offers enough seating for breakfast and daily lounging. Chairs and chaise lounges, tables with seats and umbrellas. Offering some light entertainment, musicians on the weekend days. Our room, the thimble room, had a cute nautical type feel. The room was small and dated and the mattress was waaaay to firm for my liking. Aside from the lampshades being a bit dusty, and the moisture in the atmospher feeling damp the place was clean and comfortable. Outside our room they had a seating area with nice looking but uncomfortable chairs. However they do have these amazing hammock type swing chairs that were very comfortable. All the staff was truly was amazing. The women who checked us in and out was very friendly, informative, personable and had a great sense of humor. The gentleman in the evening with the cutsie dog was very nice too. Hats off to the behind the scene kitchen staff. They offered a clean area high quality, tasty breakfast. The housekeeping staff were there when we needed them to exchange towels, provide service or exchange a broken hand soap dispenser promptly. No complaints other than coming in late in the evening to my CPAP mask being face down on the floor and not tucked behind my pillow where I left it. Despite these few minor nuances I give our vacation at the Light House Hotel, five star????? Thankyou from Boston, MA
Lovely bungalow. The pool bar serves a nice continental breakfast and wonderful afternoon/evening drinks. The staff are fun and very helpful. It is a quiet spot (except for the roosters, which are all over Key West!), right across from the Hemmingway House and excellent restaurants nearby. We love it here! ??
Best hidden gem on Key West. Great location. You can easily walk to anywhere from this place. Rooms are super clean and staff is phenomenal. Pool area is great too! If I had one small complaint, it is that the rooms are super small. Other than that, this place is perfect.
Perfect location, old and charming. My negative review is mainly based on being treated rudely by two employees. We were told the Keurig would be available 24/7. Being an early bird I always have a coffee early. The woman preparing breakfast everyday removed the keurig early and her prepared coffee came out an hour or more later. When I asked for the k cups to make a cup I was treated rudely and the woman at the front desk also treated me rudely, questioning the veracity of my complaints and threatened to look at security cameras to prove me wrong. No effort was made to accommodate early birds. No apologies. Negative hostile reaction Other patrons looking for an early cup also were looking for the k cups. Also we had half and half only one day and the same for the potatoes onions and peppers advertised for the omelet. We were there four days and it just was a negative experience due to the way we guests were treated.
The room floor was uneven and mushy, I thought I might fall thru. The bathroom had few essentials, no face clothes, only one hook to hang towels. The tv cabinet drawers didn't close, and the TV inside was lopsided. Nothing special about this room at all, even smelled musty and run down. Maybe it was just my room, I don't know. The property was nice, nice pool, nice bar, Continental breakfast was good. Directly across from the Hemingway House. No parking at all, street parking only. The staff was very nice and accommodating.
I’ve stayed at the Lighthouse Hotel multiple times and keep coming back. It’s not a five-star resort—and it’s not trying to be—but it does exactly what you need. The location is excellent, right across from the Hemingway House, and everything is easy to walk to. The staff is consistently helpful and welcoming. One of the best touches is the live music by the pool and bar—it adds a great vibe without feeling loud or chaotic. Overall, it’s a dependable, well-located place that fits the spirit of Key West.
We had a very comfortable stay here. The property is beautiful, the rooms were cozy, and breakfast was excellent. Parking was a bit of a nightmare (as it often is in Key West), but the staff was very helpful in explaining our options. The pool needing to be closed for deck repairs wasn’t a huge issue since we spent most of our time at the beaches anyway. What I took issue with was being charged the full amenity fee even though the pool and bar area were closed for a good portion of our stay. Aside from that, everything else was great, and this could easily be a 5-star experience with a little more attention to that detail. Will likely return in the future and update my review.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable! They served a wonderful fresh breakfast With juices and hot fresh fabulous coffee.. Eggs bagels cream cheese , breakfast burritos,yogurt fresh fruit cups Bananas oranges oatmeal The pool was beautiful and clean. The staff made sure there were clean towels. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I do recommend this place.. If they had valet service would have been nice for my handicapped family member. They had 4 parking spots. But not guaranteed if you left and came back. Someone else would take your spot. They did have another parking lot a couple blocks away.. But everything else was wonderful..
We absolutely loved our stay at The Lighthouse. I was greeted by the most adorable dog at check-in. The man who checked me in was very friendly and informative. The location was great, the grounds are beautiful, the pool area was perfect and we enjoyed the breakfast that was included. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again.
Stayed from 7/20-7/25- staff at front desk when I arrived, incredibly welcoming and helpful. Whoever the man is who is at the desk/hotel in the evening is incredibly rude. Seemed to be more concerned about his dog than his guests. I asked for a late checkout and was rudely told it’s likely not an option and would only be granted until noon. The day of check out I was met with a much nicer response from other staff and a later check out time. Bathroom had ants despite me telling the front desk multiple times Bar staff - very very sweet! Made great drinks! Not the place to relax as construction noise was constant starting at 7:30am. Hotel landscapers are constantly around you at the pool with their leaf blowers- not exactly sure what they were cleaning but literally right on top of you! Despite this- it was a safe location as a single traveler despite the evening rude front desk staff. I would still come back but be aware of this. The night staff seemed more annoyed with me than helpful.
