The rooms were modern and tastefully decorated. TV in the bathroom. Good location- close to Grand Central. Staff were very pleasant. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to New York.

The Alex is now the Wyndham Midtown. The mixed reviews on this hotel make sense to me now. We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, suite with a kitchen. I was a fabulous time. The hotel staff could not have been more helpful with bringing what we needed to scrape by in the under-supplied kitchen.... More

I stayed here for the first time in 2004. Back then, I was pretty impressed - the suite was lovely, service was great, everything was immaculate. I'm not quite sure why, but returning last Christmas for a romantic stay, I wasn't as impressed. I think it had something to do with the size of the furniture in our suite. I... More

Just returned from NYC and stayed one night at The Alex. The room was clean but average, the bed was comfortable. The shower had no pressure and the shower head was too close to the wall . The staff were friendly.

We stayed here for 3 nights and having read the views were a bit worried but we needn't have been. The rooms were spacious by NYC standards and although a bit tired looking are very comfortable. 3 of us shared a room with 2 double beds and the beds were extremely comfortable. The lobby was small but it had everything... More

This hotel should have been closed as it was transitioning from being The Alex to opening with its new status as a Wyndham. Its "bones" are fine, and the bed is comfortable. The furniture is worn, but the room, to be fair, is clean. However...the lack of normal amenities is shocking. Examples: There is no light on one side of... More
