Pros. The location is good, and the staff were friendly... but...

Cons. They were totally inconsistent in their COVID protections including mask wearing. When I made the comment that I wondered why they ask travelers to wear masks when they don't wear them themselves, one super employee decided to yell at me.

Pros. I loved that the Alex was across the street from lake hood and close to eateries! Very clean... and the price was right! Breakfast included... nice touch.

Cons. It’s dated. I couldn’t get the thermostat to work! My room was really hot, making it uncomfortable for me to sleep... I was literally sweating!

Pros. Big tub and plenty of towels. Very dated though.

Cons. Very old, outdated carpet etc. Lots of people outside and didnt feel very safe. In the morning was okay and saw families but most definitely has a seedy vibe. Elevator was very dirty. Nice front desk staff in the morning.

8.5Very good

Pros. This place is close to the airport, and cheaper than the chains. I stay here six or so times a year for that reason.

Cons. Breakfast is uninspired.
