The Alexandra Hotel enjoys a strategic location with convenient parking, making it easy to explore the area. Guests often appreciate being within a short walk of the train station, bus stop, and the main shopping street. Breakfast is generally well-received, and the hotel offers the convenience of on-site dining. Some guests have noted that certain aspects of the hotel appear a bit dated and could benefit from refurbishment.
The room had a spacious layout. I noticed the bathroom included a full-size bathtub with shower. Breakfast offered a good variety of options. The staff was always available and helpful.
The hallway carpets showed some wear and tear.
