Location

Situated on Fleming Street, Alexander’s Guesthouse is located about a 15-minute walk from all of the action and entertainment on Duval.

A variety of companies offer snorkeling trips and sailing excursions to places like the Dry Tortugas National Park. Other attractions, such as the Key West Lighthouse, Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and Key West Aquarium are located within one mile of the hotel, easily reached by bicycle.
Rooms
Rooms are renovated and feature eclectic decor, but some bathrooms are small
The 17 rooms at Alexander's are divided among the main house, guesthouse, and poolside cottage. Rooms are generally small, but designed with unique decor such as zebra-print rugs, black and white throw pillows, and brightly colored accent walls. Some of the larger rooms have private verandas and tend to book fast, with poolside rooms offering a better view and having less street noise. Unlike some of the other bed and breakfast style properties, all rooms have private bathrooms, although some are small and have little counter space. All rooms have a mini-fridge and flat-screen TV. A minimum nights' stay is required during the high seasons (especially during Fantasy Fest) and sometimes a deposit is required.
Features
Lushly landscaped pool and three sundecks (some are clothing optional)
Free breakfast is served daily in Alexander’s modern kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and black onyx countertops. The morning meal includes homemade muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, and a daily hot entree such as egg casserole or French toast. Double doors open out onto a breezy patio ornamented by a black and white striped awning. Lush foliage surrounds the pool and hot tub, providing shaded sitting areas to relax. There’s a tiny bar called the Pink Monkey tucked in the corner of the pool deck where free cocktails are served during happy hour. A spiral staircase leads to a series of three sundecks. (The top two are clothing optional.) Bicycle rentals are available on-site with free Wi-Fi available throughout the property.
