"Simple, eminently affordable little rooms—ask for one with bay windows for a sitting nook, or a corner room, which are the biggest—help make this spot in Washington Square West popular."

"This boutique hotel has modern decor that adds a touch of European charm. It has an excellent Center City location, just a couple of blocks from the theater district."
Gayot
"Although it opened in 1998, this hotel was designed to reflect 1930s modern decor—you may feel as if you've traveled back in time to a cruise ship in the early 20th century."
BlackBook
"The Alexander combines just the right amount of laissez-faire attitude and professionalism."
