The hotel is definitely not a luxury hotel but if you can get a good price for it it is decent, in a good location, clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. We paid 300 USD for our room which I found expensive for what's on offer. Rooms are very small (at least our two double-bed twin room was)... more

I booked a night at The Alex Hotel with my daughter to celebrate a special birthday. When booking the reservation (at full price through the hotel Web site), I asked for a high floor with a view.

But since it is supposed to be an upscale hotel, I was suprised to find pretty much every single piece of furniture in the room severely chipped, the soap holder in the chipped bathtub consisting of loose wires,... more

I stayed here for a work trip. I didn't spend a ton of time there due to the nature of the work I had to do but it was a nice place to come back to to recover. The room I was in was on the 6th floor. This particular room didn't have much of a view but it was... more

This hotel and the staff were absolutely splended. We could not have asked for anything better. The concierge, housekeeping, the doormen, even the staff in the restaurant exceeded our expectations. This will be my home away from home everytime I visit New York. more
