Formerly the Alex, this new Wyndham property is set to get a face-lift soon. We booked two rooms through Travelocity several months ago, and discovered that this hotel, at least, probably reserves the last of the last for these bookings and also makes no apparent effort to honor the preferred configuration the five of us wanted (two queens each instead...

We had a great time here. Perfect location- not too far away from attractions but far enough for some peace and quiet. The diner across the road was fantastic as well. We emailed the hotel the week before we arrived asking for a room high up with a view and we ended up on floor 30 with the Chrysler Building... More

I took my sister to NYC for her 30th birthday (Mother's Day Weekend) and we stayed here. I was able to get a fantastic deal through travelocity - roundtrip flights from Ft. Lauderdale to LaGuardia and 3 nights in an Executive 1 bedroom suite for less than $1,200 US. I booked very early - in January. We had an early... More

The rooms are dreary. Very badly needs an updating. Location is not great. Service ok. Missing lightbulbs. Generally uncomfortable room. Will not stay here again. Elevators are very strange. Layout of the building and are not user friendly

Stayed in a Queen Room. Was clean and nothing majorly wrong with the room, but for a top of the range hotel, the room was more like a 3 star hotel. Lobby or complete lack of a lobby was also disappointing. Location is pretty decent and worth staying here if you can get a deal, but at $250 a night,... More

Stayed in this former Alex Hotel from 27th april till 3th of May. Since we were with three, we booked a suite (two bathrooms/two bedrooms). We had great view from the 28th floor. Everything was great, though one bathroom was not clean when we arrived. Apart from that, we had a perfect time. Rooms in our suite were big enough... More

Love the location, its close to some great must see/do sights if your a NYC virgen. The staff at check-in was not so friendly, the guy took his sweet time to check us in, no smile, not welcoming, I was not impressed with his attitude.
