Great hotel, great, helpful, engaged, staff. One of my favorites
Pros:

I stayed at the Alex (formerly Alexander, for years, from 2006 through 2016). It is an appreciably changed and improved hotel since my last stay. You can see much time and money has been spent to improve the facility, and it was money well spent. The lobby is inviting and a hub of activity, the guest rooms are larger, and modern, well-appointed with many amenities. The location is great, walking distance from Merrion Square, Trinity College, Stephens Green, Grafton Street and the Liffey River. This is a hotel I will stay at when I next visit

Good location/great staff/comfy hotel/tasty breakfast
Pros:

The hotel and staff and breakfast were wonderful and certainly met our expectations.

Cons:

The parking situation was not good. We were locked out/in the parking lot 3 times and watched another hotel guest experience the same difficulty we experienced as we left the parking lot. The ticket machine did not work. The barriers that open/close did not open or close and we were trapped between them on two different occasions during our 3 day stay. We had to wait for one of the hotel representatives to run down the street to help us because the call phone for assistance in the parking lot did not work.
