The Hotel Alexander is an inexpensive, budget hotel located in a leafy, residential area of the Upper West. The hotel offers rooms to suit all traveler's needs, from dorms to rooms with shared facilities to recently renovated en-suited doubles. Our stay was in the latter.
The room is cleaned and serviced daily. Reception is staffed 24 hours, and was proved fast and efficient. We arrived about 10pm and were in our room within ten minutes.
Free WiFi, as well as tea and coffee making facilities are provided in the lounge. Baggage storage is available at a nominal charge ($2 per bag).
The location of the hotel provides easy access to the subway. 96th Street station is just over a block away and can be accessed at 94th/Broadway. It is on the express line meaning you can be in Times Square in about ten minutes.
The nearby avenues of Broadway and Amsterdam contain many eating and drinking opportunities. If you fancy a walk then Central Park is only four blocks away. The Guggenheim, on museum mile, is a further short, and very enjoyable walk across Central Park.
All in all, staying at the Hotel Alexander was a pleasurable experience that won't break the bank!
