My stay at Alexander Inn was amazing, as usual, but Dresden made it extra amazing. I highly recommend staying here, the location is amazing and the staff, especially Dresden, will make sure your stay is as great as possible. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

My room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The included breakfast was good for a light morning meal, and the evening social hour with wine and cheese, etc was a nice relaxing touch. I've stayed here many times in the past for the great location and friendly staff.

The location of this unique hotel near the Miller Theater was perfect for our group. We had 3 rooms. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was nearby and easy for us as we had no mobility issues.
