The Morris House Hotel is a gem in Philadelphia. It's rich with history, and you will feel like you stepped into the late 1700s when you are here, but with the amenities of the 21st century. Jerry and Alejandro made us feel at home. Their continental breakfast is sufficient to fuel for the day, complete with coffee, tea, milk, juice, yogurt, muffins, oatmeal, and boiled eggs. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits is that it's walking distance from the Independence Historic Park area, which was the main reason for our visit to Philly. The rooms are large with ample space. I called ahead to request a welcome gift for my husband for his birthday, and Jerry exceeded my expectations with a beautiful cheese tray. We are very happy and hope to return soon.

Location, Location, Location

This establishment is within walking distance of many historic sites in the old town. The staff at Morris House was very friendly and informative. They gave us a map of the historic district and surrounding area and told us which sites were the best. The property was built in 1787, and though it has been well cared for, it is very old! If you want sparkling and new, this is not your place. However, if you want a unique place to stay with comfy beds, this is a good place! The rooms are decorated to period, but have modern conveniences such as a clean tiled bathroom with lots of hot water for showers. Though some reviews talk of a restaurant and bar on site, there is not currently a restaurant or bar on the property. The breakfast was served in an intimate room with a fireplace, and included hard boiled eggs, English muffins with toaster, coffee cake, muffins, cereal and yogurt. There also was OJ, milk, drip coffee and Keurig coffee maker. Though we were disappointed that there was no restaurant, there are several within a short walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

The hotel was beautiful. The location was perfect. The breakfast was yummy, and the staff was excellent. I highly recommend this hotel. It is a much better experience than staying in a giant downtown high-rise hotel.

Historical home was interesting. However, it is not the most comfortable hotel with winding and creaky stairs. But considering it was build in the 1700s it was not bad.

All in all our stay was good. It was my first time in Philadelphia. I chose this hotel because I liked that it was a small boutique hotel with history. It felt like a bed and breakfast. It's within walking distance to Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Visitor Center, Tour bus and restaurants. We arrived around 9pm and Linda was very nice. She showed us around and gave us a history lesson on the hotel. Get there before 11pm. They lock the gates and you need a key to get in the side door on 8th St. We stayed in room 203. It's right above the lobby and dining room. I was concerned about the possible noise of the front door, but we didn't hear anything. The hotel is quiet. Take into account that we were gone early in the morning and got back in the evening every day. We did hear the subway a little bit from our room, but it wasn't bad at all. The room was very spacious having 2 rooms with a door you can close in-between. The mattress definitely needs to be replaced. Before going, I saw reviews about the hot water. You do have to run it longer to get hot water. It's really hot when other rooms are taking showers already. The water pressure wasn't the best, but it got the job done. My girlfriend recommended more lighting in the room for doing her makeup. Parking is in a "tight" garage across the street. The hotel discounts it a little bit. Just bring the parking ticket to them. They have a continental breakfast every morning. All the staff was very nice. I would stay again.
