Very friendly staff. Convenient location. However, the situation with the air conditioning/heat is ridiculous. Our room had a mini-split that is too high to control and no remote. So in order to turn on/off or change, you have to call up the front desk to come up. Totally absurd. So of course it will be either warmer or cooler than you'd like all night. Also, the carpet and the walls of the shower were not clean. And, considering this, the price of the room was not cheap. Bed seemed clean though.

The boutique hotel provides personal service with a sense of nostalgia. The staff is friendly and efficient and ensures that that guests have a memorable stay. The complimentary breakfast and happy hour allow guests to connect and take a break from their busy schedules. The area around the hotel is close to historical sites and full of cafes, restaurants, and bars. After a busy day, the guest can return to the comfort of their room at The Alexander Inn.

Beautiful Facility, small caveat.

Parking was a problem as there was a festival so parking was inaccessible. But I was not make aware of this and no arrangements or offers for alternative parking offered until I make hotel aware that parking would not be available. The hotel should have at the very least should have been aware of this so guests could prepare better. Other wise the staff was wonderful and helpful. The room and rest of the facilities were clean and so tasteful with a bit of historic charm.

This hotel is very well located but their rooms needs a lot of improvement. if you turn on the air conditioner is like having a truck running inside your room. The front desk staff is very friendly. Their breakfast though is not good and not well attended.
