Richard was awesome - greeted us by name as soon as we walked in. We were welcomed into the library - offered a glass of wine - and listened to a short but interesting history of the house and we felt very welcomed. He gave us recommendations for dinner and when we got back, there was a small glass of Bailey's and a chocolate left on a tray in our room. Breakfast was wonderful - I loved the attention to detail. We got water with lemon, orange juice with a dash Watkins Almond extract - first Richard brought out a delicious fresh fruit parfait with a light cream flavored with, of course, Watkins Vanilla, and I loved how he always served the women first. Then came the fresh-baked zucchini bread, and then the Vegetable Frittata with fresh Pico, all homemade. It was wonderful to sit around the table and visit with the other guests. He gave us a taste of what it might have been like back in the early 1900's as entering the house felt like going back in time. Richard made sure to let us know that we were welcomed to ask questions and explore. Our bedroom was spacious and beautifully done, with original fixtures and furniture. We will definitely be going back when we travel south again. Well worth the cost. Richard was such a gracious and warm host.

Nothing - it was perfect!

This is mine and my boyfriends third time staying here. It is immaculate! The decor in the main area is lovely. We stayed in the room downstairs called Judge Wilson. It was super spacious and comfortable. Our hosts Richard and David are wonderful. Richard serves all the guests a homemade breakfast that is just so delicious every time. We have also stayed in the room called Martha and it is also very very beautiful. It is a great place to just get away and relax. I can't say enough positive things. We already booked another stay here in August.

It was like staying in a historical museum. But then again, it is a historical home. The home is a museum, and all the items in it are so much to see. There were a lot of small amenities that were around the home that you could use at your leisure. Richard knew a lot about the family and the history of this home. Every morning, he had breakfast prepared for all of the people and usually a nice story behind what we were having. If there was something that could make your stay there better, Richard would do his best to make sure it happens.

Since breakfast is the only meal, unless you had a vehicle, there wasn't anywhere close to get a meal without delivery.

Incredible place to stay and incredible host. Alexander Mansion is an experience in itself. We arrived very late but Richard was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The hallway entrance was breathtakingly beautiful. We were offered a choice of wines in the parlour and we unwound there before heading to bed. In the morning we were served the most amazing four course breakfast. All lovingly homemade. We sat at a big dining table and had wonderful chats with Richard and our fellow guests. An experience to remember.

Loved everything about it. The host, Richard, was both very professional and personable. He gave a history of the house and plenty of information about the city with plenty of good restaurants, some within walking distance. Not to mention a breakfast worthy of royalty! Four courses and amazing juice, coffee, and tea. Don't rush through it and enjoy the company of the other guests and Richard.

The breakfast is fantastic - not only the food but also the total experience. As a guest you are very much waited on and your every need is considered by the staff and in particular,Richard. There is also a wonderful interaction between all the guests as you are all seated at the same table.

I can't think of anything that needs to be improved. It was a lovely experience at the Alexander House!! I especially like the large screened in porch. I spent several hours enjoying the afternoon and evening relaxing and conversing with family.

Location was great and the services were exemplary of what a B&B should be. Richard is extremely knowledgeable about the house and the history surrounding it as well as the town of Winona. He was able to make our stay completely stress free and ensured we were well cared for at all times.

I liked everything. Richard is a gem and makes the house feel like it is still in the early 20th century (in the best way).

The owner was so accommodating and kind. He worked around our busy schedule to make us as comfortable as possible. The food was so good I thought about it the whole way home. Nothing beats the room, however, which were elegantly decorated. Light music played throughout the house and really set a tone for our stay. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The beds were one of the best beds I've ever slept on, and the rooms were just stunning.

It was a unique experience. We were treated so well and got to learn the history of the house and family. We were in Winona for a family wedding and decided to stay here. Having grown up in Winona we had passed the house but never had a chance to go inside. Richard is an excellent cook and host! The wonderful breakfast gave us time to have interesting conversations with the other guests.

A caring and thorough host. Exceptional breakfast great attention to detail. I appreciated how much he cared about each individual guest as well as his pride in the history of the home

Outlets in bedrooms to charge devices. Only had an extension cord and it had loose connections so did not work Maybe a little less talking at checkin. I really needed a shower after a long day of exercising!
