Stayed here for one night glad it wasn't more than that. Hotel is way overpriced for what you (don't) get. Very bland room with no art decor ugly 70s sofa with uncomfortable low back.

Positives and Negatives - user review
The Alex has the makings of a fine hotel, but cannot fully deliver on what it promises. The lobby is pleasant, but the staff is not extremely accomodating. The downtown Ritx has much better service. The rooms are very small, but stylish. The bed is fairly comfortable but not quite as good as that at...

The hotel itself is nice very New York call it the W Light. Lobby is very small. I was in a studio suite decent sized room. Very clean. But here's the problem: the hotel only has the ability to run the heat or air conditioning. It's December, so I understand their choice of running heat. As a result...

First impression won my loyalty. - user review
My brother and I were visiting for a one day trip and got to the hotel early, 9AM, to see if maybe we could get two double beds. Turns out there wasn't any so we got stuck with what our expectations were, a queen size bed. Nevertheless, we told the front desk rep that we could come back later given ...

Cramped Quarters & Rude Service - user review
Small rooms, I had two pieces of luggage and could not even unpack. Frette Linens and Fredrick Fekkai products doesn't make for a 4 star hotel, Good Service and quality rooms do.

Almost there - user review
The studio suite in my estimation was very small. For a hotel which is considered a luxury hotel, the attention to detail is not acceptable.
