Kimpton Lighthouse Hotel (Florida Keys, Florida) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Standing right next door to the famous lighthouse in question is the Kimpton Lighthouse Hotel, a loose association of 19th-century buildings spanning half a city block, right across the street from the Hemingway residence. Its rambling grounds include a swimming pool and gardens surrounding an old banyan tree, all of which make for fine outdoor lounge space. The rooms are contemporary-classic in style, with fun tropical prints and vintage-inspired furniture and artwork, plus modern details like Samsung HD televisions and Atelier Bloem bath products; the bar, Isabel’s, pours Hemingway-inspired mojitos as well as a bloody mary with breakfast." - Tablet Hotels

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

We had a wonderful experience at the Lighthouse hotel. The location is perfect and close to everything; while also being a little oasis with the pool and bar area. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. No complaints. Would definitely stay here again!

Was very disappointed to find out until we checked-in that there was no on-site parking. It was inconvenient parking 2 ½ blocks away. When we picked up the car, we had damage on the door. We had issues with the key card trying to open to door. After trying several times, we finally figured out how to open the door. It would have been helpful knowing this up front. The cleanliness was lax - floor was filthy, bug crawling out of the bathroom sink, shower stall didn't drain unless we pushed the water toward the drain. Wasn't happy with breakfast provided. We went at 9:00, most of the food was gone and coffee was completly gone. Overheard the staff talking that they run out early on Sundays. If this is the case, why don't they provide more to accommodate. We were very excited by staying at one of Key West's historical hotel, but unfortunately ended up being disappointed.

This was a very cute hotel with lots of charm and walking distance to everything in Key West! It's right across from the Hemingway House if you want to visit that. The parking is several blocks from the hotel but they tell you where to park since it's just street parking in front of the hotel. The staff was very helpful and had great service. The breakfast was delicious and can tell it's homemade! They even remembered my coffee order that I always ordered. Only took off a star since the pillows were so uncomfortable and it made it hard to sleep without any head support. Otherwise I recommend staying here!

We couldn't have been more disappointed. $600+ for a tiny room, in bad shape, repairs needed and infested with black mold. This was a second floor room and one tiny window unit could barely keep up. During the day the temp in the room would be 80-82 degrees. At night, we were lucky to have it drop to 75-77. The mold was so bad, we sneezed non stop and our eyes watered and burned. The smell was so strong it has ruined a $600 Calvin Klein leather shoe bag. We can't get the smell of mold out of it even having emptied it and let it sit out in the sunshine and fresh air. The room had paint slopped everywhere, and I mean the floors, the furniture, the bathroom mirror, and the nightstands. Being painters ourselves, we figured out that it was Kilz primer everywhere they were trying to cover the mold. Let me tell you, working in the construction field, you CANNOT paint over mold to make it go away. They need to tear the ceilings out and abate it from the inside. The paint was also peeling off the walls in the bathroom which also indicates moisture in the walls. We would have complained, but the lady at the front desk upon check in was extremely rude and abrasive, and I mean RUDE. The gentleman that was behind the desk however, was very nice, as was the rest of the staff except the blonde behind the counter. We were charged $$60 to park 3 blocks away. There is no concierge or offer to help carry your luggage upstairs, as there is no elevator. This stay in Key west was just a few days of a 15 day trip so we had 3 bags. We never ate breakfast there as it was only cereal, pastries and whole fruit. If you're into carb loading and sugar that's fine, but we're not. We should have just stayed elsewhere but we thought it was going to be more fun closer to Duval St. The pool was okay, very small and only 10 people allowed in at a time. The "resort fees" are for things they claim are complimentary. So go figure $39 a night concierge fee, when we couldn't get an offer of help with the luggage, the bar was closed the entire time, we had to walk 3 blocks to our car which they charged us for too. They are sheisters! Do not recommend.

Literally right beside the lighthouse, which was cool. The room was very nice and the bathroom was a nice size. The grounds were immaculate and pretty. I would absolutely return.

Unique, cozy and charming inn that's conveniently located in the heart of Key West. Great value overall, however poolside drinks are rather pricey and there's a hidden-in-fine-print "amenity" fee that sneaks up after checkout. This fee includes must haves such as... "Complimentary continental breakfast, concierge services, in-room Wi-Fi, yoga mats, filtered water, coffee, tea accessible 24/7, in-room safe, Isabel welcome cocktails and afternoon poolside refreshers. And of course, Key West Roosters." Really?

We stay here 3-4 times a year. Laura is awesome and always a pleasure. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Love sitting in the pool. Rooms are awesome. Location is excellent.
