We stayed here on the last night of a three week trip out west and decided to check out the reviews on Tripadvisor while a few days out before booking. We liked the reviews and booked a king room. I booked with the owner, but when I called him back two minutes after booking to ask a question about directions,... More

We read other reviews on your site, and were very excited to stay at the Alexander Hotel. We arrived at MGregor on a Saturday evening at about 7:00 pm To find that the hotel was nothing like it was described . It was very dirty and run down. One of the reviews on your site talked about hanging out in... More

We were recent guests at this hotel and were treated like old friends from the moment we arrived. Sam and Mary Ellen are very hospitable and concerned about your stay. Our room faced the street with a very nice view of the nightlife. We found the food in the restaurant to be excellent and a wide variety. It is a... More

My husband and I began our relaxing getaways with this hotel in April of 2006, it has since become our home away from home. The rooms are always clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The food is always top notch. I wish I could recommend one item off of the menu but everything we have ordered, during our stays in these last... More

I read previous reviews and looked forward to spending a couple of nights at this nostalgic hotel. I booked two nights Aug 5 and 6. It was a very disappointing experience. It's a shame how this historic hotel has been neglected. There seems to be more emphasis on the bar downstairs than the rooms upstairs. Our room air conditioner was... More

The guy who runs the hotel was married to my mother only after knowing her 2 hours. The cook married the two little love birds. I set up the wedding and we even had live music played by... More

I went to the Alexander Hotel with my daughters and grandaughters. I had so much fun. My daughters are always up to mischeif. Well anyway they came up to me and said that I was going to get married to Sam the owner of the Hotel. It was just a mock wedding. It was really fun. Every one was just... More

This labor day weekend we had the pleasure of staying at the Alexander hotel in the river town of Mcgregor, Iowa. The owner is a warm, layed back, and friendly individual. The hotel itself is old and crooked, full of charm and fun details, and right on main street. The rates are reasonable, we paid $89.00 for 2 rooms w/bath!... More
