"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..."

"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."

"Had the opportunity of staying at the lighthouse hotel for our wedding this past June. We selected the Hemingway suite as the bridal getting ready room which was spacious and packed with all the required amenities. We also leveraged the lighthouse hotel for our wedding block which was a breeze. The lighthouse hotel had a great breakfast and it's proximity to downtown without being right on Duval was a hidden benefit. The entire property was great for getting ready photos..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

"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!"
