Just got back from NYC yesterday and would not recommend Hotel Alexander to anyone. There were many family members already staying here when we arrived for a wedding in the neighborhood. My family had reserved renovated rooms and these rooms were very nice with nice beds. My girlfriend and I had reserved a renovated room with a queen bed and private bath. The staff at the front desk knew this but quickly told us that a city inspector had to come out to inspect the rooms the next day and thought they would have our room available for us the next evening. The staff put us up in a non-renovated room with one double bed and one single bed with a shared bathroom. The bed didn't have a matress pad on it and you could see the matress through the sheets and the comforter was torn. The room was very depressing and gross and the bed was in front of the room door so it was easy to run into the bed on entering the room. The bathroom was clean at night before we went to bed but was nasty in the morning. We had to get ready for a wedding in this shared bath. The next morning we asked the staff about our room and were told that we would not get it that night either. We were continually "put off" by the staff. When asked about the city inspector there was a look of question/confusion on the staff member's face. We are pretty sure by this point they were lying to us. More of my family arrived on that day and they received their reserved rooms (renovated king with private bath). I would recommend staying here if you get what you reserved but if you are reserving a renovated room do not count on getting it. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
We were supposed to stay here for three nights and ended up only making it one. We left after we could not get our room the second night and went to the six columbus on 58th street, which was awesome.
