“Stayed in the newly refurbished apartment (room 17) - see pics”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

The apartment has only just been totally refurbished last month and we are one of the first people to stay in it.

Alexanders best room is now even better!

The bed is firmer and better.

The shower is incredible and much more powerful. Bigger, all glass, really nice.

The kitchen looks great.

See my Key West blog with loads of pics and videos of the new, improved apartment. And other tips and lists on visiting Key West. Search google for: Key West Lookout.

“A real slice of heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We spent an amazing 3 nights at Alexander's. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and tasty drinks during happy hour :)
The room was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere among the the more mondane places to stay in Key West.

Thanks to all at Alexander's!

“Super friendly and wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012 via mobile

What a wonderful place to stay at! Great service - thank you Charlie an Jeff for all your help and guidance during our stay. Well decorated contemporary rooms and hotel unlike most which can be a bit 'mumsy' in Key West. Great included breakfast - lots of choices and a very happy Happy Hour. Definitely will go back.

“A must stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This was my second stay at Alexander's and nothing changed! Still the best place to stay in Key West by far! The rooms are excellent and breakfast is excellent, but what makes Alexander's stand out is its staff and what happens when you stay there. First, the staff, starting with Charlie and Laura down the the people that clean your room they become family. But the most valuable thing that happens is that during your stay the entire guesthouse becomes a family! You may visit as a single or even a couple, but you will leave as a family member!
Thank You
Dick Paduchowski

“Fantastic Overall Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

I have stayed at Alexander's 3 times now and can honestly say that the experience keeps getting better. The facilities are always immaculate and the staff is amazing. Anything you can conjure up - a jet ski excursion for 16 people, chartering a sail boat for 22, making dinner reservations for 4, or even setting up a volleyball net over the pool - they do it all and they do it with a smile and very graciously. Happy Hour at the Monkey Bar with Charlie and Amy mixing up the drinks is always a hit. Breakfast is always yummy and the entire staff are always doing whatever they can to make the place and your stay wonderful. I highly recommend this place for gay and lesbian travelers. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy!

Room Tip: Room 10 is very unique. Room 15 is wonderful and sort of removed from the hustle and bustle.
