I was only here to stay the night and leave the next morning. The room was a bit small, but it was nice and cozy. The room was clean, and the bathroom was fine. I stayed on the 6th floor but was still able to hear some noise from outside, but it was the night before Halloween. I was still able to fall asleep. There are no complementary water bottles, but they do have a water dispenser and paper cups for us to use, so it was fine. There is also a convenient store right across the street. I had the complementary breakfast the next morning, and it was fine. I enjoyed a boiled egg, a pastry, a Chobani yogurt, and a hot cup of coffee. What stood out to me was the staff. From greeting me, checking me in, to helping me check out, they were both very friendly and professional.

I had a wonderful stay at the Alexander Inn. It’s a wonderful older hotel with lots of charm. The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings. Its location is great. You can walk to so many different spots. They also don’t nickel and dime you. There is no resort fee. It doesn’t have a bar or restaurant which is no big deal. They do have complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby area at any time you may want a hot coffee or tea. Lastly, the Alexander Inn is very economical compared to the larger and chain hotels.

Friendly staff. The location of the hotel is close to all tourist attractions. However, due to the vintage of the hotel (per hotel staff) the ac system is too sensitive for customers to control them. Every time you need to change the room temp, you have to call the front desk to do so.

Location, cleanliness, social time in the evening, and a very nice staff. My only disappointment was that by the time I got to breakfast (I’m a late riser), there was no waffle batter or fruit left.
