My friend said he feltl being watched when he was waiting in the lobby for me. The room is good. I didn't know how to turn... More

Booked this room for Saturday before Valentine's Day using Priceline. Upon arrival the staff was quite cordial and helpful. The room was spacious and surprising large for NYC. Bed was comfortable as well. MIni bar and snacks are way over priced so bring your snacks or hit the CVS or Duane Reade around the corner for much cheaper options. So... More

The Alex is in a great location, the rooms large and spotless, and the staff incredibly nice and responsive. We love the 2 bedroom suite, which is perfect for a family with two children. Our kids loved sitting on the sofas while looking at the magnificent views of the Chrysler building. Also nice is the fact that you can crack... More

We were thrilled to see that the room was actually an apartment with two separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a living room/kitchenette. The entry way was large. It... More

Great Manhattan location. Short walk to Rockefeller Center and all the great nearby shopping. All types of rooms. We've stayed a few times and have been upgraded to a one bedroom with kitchen. Their regular rooms are just fine too. There is a bar and restaurant in the lobby which is convenient, as well as a diner across the street... More

This is a great, friendly, yet professional, modern boutique hotel. It is in a great location for me as it is about two blocks from the 45th street exit of Grand Central and close to a lot of my clients. Great restaurants nearby as well. Unfortunately, it is typically priced above my travel budget, but a few magical times of... More

I come to New York on business regularly and usually stay at the Affinia Dumont; however, I thought I would try the Alex as it is right by our company office. It shares some of the positive features of the Dumont that have made me a regular visitor; small number of rooms per floor, which keeps the noise of other... More
