Terrific hotel with excellent value
Having surfed for some affordable options (NY affordable) i was pleasantly surprised at just how nice The Alex is. There was a small lack of follow up on a dinner reservation with the concierge (not a big deal to us) and you had to call for ice for the rooms (again, small inconvenience) but the room was very cool, seemed very updated and very clean. The rooms are small but that is the case in NY and it was well within what i expected. Would absolutely go back. Great Pub next door too.

EXCELLENT
I stayed here for five nights and I was absolutely amazed how great the staff pampered me. I definitely recommend staying here. I was only six blocks from Time Square/Broadway. Everything was in walking distance.
