“Alexander's Guesthouse was amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

What an amazing place. Alexander's Guesthouse was recommended by a friend and are we glad we went there. Located in a quiet neighborhood with several yummy restaurants close by. The rooms were very clean, quiet and comfortable. Our room had plush robes (perfect for going to the hot tub) and great smelling H20 Plus shampoo, body wash and lotion. The breakfast was plentiful.

Jeff greeted us and made us feel right at home. The best part was that Alexander's caters to all kinds of people. There were gay and straight couples and everyone was made to feel welcome (that's how it's suppose to be).

I'm a Travel Agent and I plan to book my clients at Alexander's Guesthouse when ever they travel to Key West. What a great find.

“Yours before you ask”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

Alexander's Guesthouse gave me 2 of the pleasantest days a traveler can have. From the first telephone greeting to the last goodbye, the staff conveyed warmth, friendliness, consideration and service that I've never experienced outside of my family, at least not at an inn. They anticipated needs and interests and went the extra mile in providing things like breakfasts that still make my mouth water, a free and generous poolside happy hour that left me friends with many other visitors, and a knowledge of Key West that pointed me where and when I needed to be to enjoy its ambience, whether lively, scenic or historic. In their delightful, peaceful setting, these people gave me a gem of a stay.

“A wonderful place and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

My partner and I spent four days at Alexander's and the home, our room was fantastic - nicely decorated, comfortable and the amenities are delicious; I loved the heated in-ground, outdoor pool!
The staff were wonderfully friendly, helpful and provided fantastic service. They helped us plan a romantic dinner cruise, they provided solid suggestions for places to eat and even helped us score a reservation and a discount on wine.

Jeff was truly fantastic and special - thank you for all your help and suggestions.

Great place to stay, we plan on staying there again.
thanks to all the staff and guests for making our vacation special

Room Tip: We picked Room 14 - which is a great size and right off of the main floor infront of the pool and ho...

“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.
