“Hemmingway Suite Amazing!!”

Lighthouse Court

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

Our room was unbelievable. HUGE! Very open and "homey". Private wrap around balcony that had a view of Hemmingway's House. Came home in the evening and sat for a while each night w/ a drink and did some people watching. The full kitchen was beautiful, and we also had a washer/dryer (nice to come home w/out any laundry). Raised deck outside the door w/ a hammock that gives a good view of the lighthouse. Awesome spot to sit at night. Every morning breakfast is served by the pool (english muffins, bagels, muffins, fruit, yogurt, coffee, etc.) We loved that we were close to Duval st, where all the trendy restaurants and bars are. It's only about a 10 min walk down to the mallory square & the docks, grabbed a margarita and watched the sun set every night. I <3 Key West

“Great stay at The Lighthouse Court”

Lighthouse Court

Jan 19, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Located within walking distance of all the main Key West attractions, this B & B has clean, comfortable rooms. We stayed for 3 nights the first week of January. Parking is a bit of a challange, as it is in most of the old town area.
The staff were all very helpful, as first time Key West visitors they gave us some welcomed recommendations on things to see and do.
This place also has a heated pool, a poolside bar ( best Pina Colada I ever had) and a good but limited lunch menu.
Breakfast is served poolside each morning which is pretty basic but gave us a great start to the day.
Nice place, will stay here again.

“Not the best...”

Lighthouse Court

2 of 5 stars
Edinburgh
Jan 13, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

This hotel has a great location, no doubt. It's connected to the lighthouse which is a good attraction and is across the road from the Hemmingway House which means it's easy to get too but also that troops of tourists arrive outside your room, early and stay all day!

As for the hotel. It's clearly overpriced and the rooms are very small. Queens are really doubles. You can tell that at one point in time this was a great place but reinvestment in the asset has been poor. Glass tiles in the bathrooms are loose and the grout work needs redone. The external property is kept well and the grounds people do a great job.

I think this would be a great hotel if rooms were $120 but not at $250+. Saying that it is expensive to stay in Key West in general and there are clearly places much worse. So if Michael Porter came for a visit he would say they had sussed the power of competition and priced correctly!

In summary, I would stay somewhere else next time.

“Very nice pool and lounge area but overpriced”

Lighthouse Court

3 of 5 stars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed over Christmas at the Lighthouse court. We loved the pool and lounge are (although the barkeeper at the pool bar could use some mixing lessons.) The location one block from Duval Street is also very convenient to reach basically every place of interest.
The rooms are small but ok and clean. Most of them are different so it's worth checking out which one you like best.
Overall it's a very nice place but definitely overpriced for the room size and service quality you get.

“Great Place to Stay!”

Lighthouse Court

5 of 5 stars
Richmond, VA
Dec 27, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I got a great deal on a room at the Lighthouse Court the week before Christmas. The property is really cute, the staff is very friendly and you can't beat the location.

Couple of hints - the superior queen rooms all seem to face the street and during busy seasons I am sure could be a bit noisy. These rooms also seem to get a lot of light from the street lights so the room was never completely dark. I would upgrade to the King rooms since those all seem to face the pool.

The Lighthouse Court is right across the street from the Hemingway House and one block off Duval. It's about 8-10 blocks from Mallory Square (a must for sunsets) and about 4 blocks from the Southern Most Point marker. Excellent location for getting around!

According to a travel book I read this property use to be the place to stay for gay men, but it is not like that any more. It is geared to couples and all rooms (I think) are double capacity only. There are also single, budget room options.

Hint for Key West - rent bikes! Parking is limited so once you park your car (leagally) leave it and get around on bikes. There are dozens of places to rent bikes and there are bike racks everywhere you go to secure your bike.
