Thank you for your great review and for staying with us at the American Shoal Light Suite! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location — being just off Duval Street really does offer the best of both worlds — and that you found the suite clean and cozy. It’s also wonderful to hear you made the most of the pool area. Having that quiet, relaxing space just steps from the energy of Duval is something many of our guests really appreciate. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and would love to welcome you back to the Lighthouse Suites Collection on your next visit to Key West!

Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the pool. Parking can definitely be a bit challenging in this prime part of town, which is why we provide one space per unit. I’m sorry if this caused any inconvenience during your stay, and we really appreciate your understanding. We’d love to host you again in the future! Thank you, Jenna

Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was great, property with pools and grill area was beautiful, the unit we stayed in was well appointed. We had an issue with the toilet not working when we arrived and that was quickly addressed. However, there was a musty smell that got worse over our 4 day stay. With the moisture in the air in Key West, I generally expect some of this but after 2 weeks back home and several washings, some of our clothing still has the smell. Also, the walls are thin and you can hear the people in the next unit. Not a big deal unless you have partyers who are yelling in the middle of the night.
