Spacious Comfort

The Deluxe Double Room I stayed in was incredibly spacious and had clean carpets. The TV worked perfectly, allowing me to enjoy my favorite shows. Plus, I could see a bit of the sea from my window, which added to my experience.

The bathroom in my Deluxe Double Room had a nice setup, and although there were a few hiccups, it was well-equipped for a comfortable stay. It contributed to the overall experience of my time at the hotel.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On the positive side, my room was warm, spacious, and comfortable, giving me plenty of room to relax. However, I wasn't impressed with the lack of staff assistance at check-in, and I encountered a few cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall vibe.

5.8/10

I had a large and comfy room during my stay at The Alexander, but the experience felt pretty impersonal since I didn’t see a single staff member. Plus, the stairs could use a clean-up, and there were a few dints in the bathroom wall that hadn’t been fixed. Overall, it was a decent stay, though some areas need attention.

I enjoyed my stay at The Alexander, as my Deluxe Double Room was spacious and comfortably warm. However, I found it a bit impersonal that I had to let myself in using a code, and there was no staff around to assist with my luggage. The music from the nearby nightclub did stop by 11:30pm, which was a relief, but I noticed some cleanliness issues as well.
