I have not stayed at Alfreds,from what I have seen,spend more time at Alfreds than any other bar, it seems like a eclectic crowd and kind of a happening/party place, just my opinion, not a whole lot to base it on. I am in your same boat, less the new baby, I will be coming down solo, no problems either, lol , just the way it is this year. I be staying again at the Yellowbird, about 15 minute walk from Alfreds,first stayed their in the mid '70's and have stayed their 3/4 times over the last 5 years. Presently have a "Motel room" but considering one of their,sleeping rooms because I will be solo,spent a couple of nights their sleeping rooms a few years ago when their was a miscommunication about our arrival. No air and had to use outside shower/head but no problem mon it was clean and secure, only 60.00 a night, check out thier website. Personally I would take it over Alfreds, I know I would sleep better. Take it for what it is worth.
