Hotel was very cute & comfortable and I love the historic vibe. Does not necessarily have all the bells and whistles of a modern hotel (rooms are pretty small), but is in a really excellent location. Unfortunately we were not able to turn the AC on in our room and had to get an employee to do it, but other than that it was quite nice.

I don't even shop around for hotels in Philadelphia. Book at the Alexander. It's like a private club that only hosts interesting people whom you meet at reception and breakfast. Happy to be a " member"!

The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, and this extended to the complimentary happy hour and breakfast, where guests can get to know other guests. The service was good, yet my room was not stocked with shampoo, soap, lotion, tissue, and toilet tissue after the first day of my stay, so I had to buy these items from a pharmacy.

It's probably important to mention when your visitors are to arrive and they are parking that they have to pay the meter so they don't get a ticket. As an out of towner who does not have meters where we live was unaware of that which resulted in a ticket. But other than that loved our stay. Will be back for sure!

Great Location

Great location and our room had a wonderful view. The beds/pillow were not great. Very hard, lumpy mattresses and hard pillow. They emptied our rubbish but did not make up the beds which we thought was weird. We did love the location. Easy walk to most of what we wanted to see/do.

Great stay and great price for single night!

I would recommend everyone hear of all other options. Right in the city, literally a 10-15 walk from all the main attractions. Super casual laid back but contemporary feel. Can’t wait to visit again
