We chose this hotel based upon TripAdvisor Reviews and found it to be better than expected. Originally we were looking for a hotel in the middle of the historic district, but all were booked. As it turns out, this hotel is within walking distance to historic sites such as Independence Hall. Rooms are very comfortable and the hotel has historic... more

The hotel is situated in Old Philadelphia, so it does require some walking to get to the main sites in the centre of the city. The hotel itself is a bit quirky. The desk staff are helpful and friendly but our first impression was of a slightly musty/stale atmosphere as we entered the building. The bedrooms are comfortable enough without... more

My wife and I, my daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandchildren spent 3 days and 2 nights at the Inn. The staff arranged for us to have 3 rooms on the top floor. The rooms were small but very clean as you would expect in this very elegant building near the historic district. The area is undergoing a significant change and... more

We stayed at the Inn from June 26-29 and had a wonderful experience. Charming property, very friendly and helpful staff. We had a king room which was great- comfortable beds and pillows, great shower. The only improvement I can think of to make is I wish they had some kind of venting/fan in the bathroom. It got very hot and... more

Free pastries and fruit available all day plus 2 free internet computers. It was a very safe neighbourhood and we felt fine about walking back... more

Date of Stay: June 9-12, 2008. Reviewer: A Philadelphia native now living in Denver. I recently stayed at The Alexander Inn with my son and had a very pleasant experience. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful and made us feel right at home. The room was quite comfortable and clean with an incredible view of the impressive Liberty Place... more

How wonderful to find a hotel that's actually nicer than you hoped. Staff are helpful and pleasant; the rooms are well designed and attractive; everywhere you look this hotel delivers more then you expect. We stayed here when my daughter started med school in Phili, and have never been tempted to try anywhere else. Inexpensive without making you feel cheap! more

Review: Outstanding – both for value and convenience. Stay dates: May 5 - 8, 2008 We stayed 4-days and loved the place. Except for the room size, which is small, the hotel is clean and the cleaning staff does a good job. We would recommend it to anyone who is on a budget but still wants to be in and... more
