Because the hotel is a boutique one, the staff offers personal service. I was greeted by an attentive front desk clerk and found the server helpful during happy hour. The rooms are small, but provide everything a guest needs. I enjoyed the historical aspect of the hotel and it's location; it is near restaurant, bars, entertainment and shopping.

"Fantastic hotel in the middle of Philadelphia."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I've stayed at the Alexander Inn several times and each time is better than the last. The location is perfect to reach shopping, entertainment, food, bars and many historical sites. The staff is most accommodating and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was the best I've experienced in ANY hotel. The included breakfast and happy hour are great value added extras. As an old building, the rooms tend to be small but there is plenty of storage. A great hotel in all ways.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
My room was small but sufficient. It was colorfully decorated and had panoramic views of the city. Breakfast was basically continental and generous with choices. The daily social hours included complimentary drinks (wine) and light snacks. Housekeeping did a tremendous job each day. I recommend this hotel highly.
