I stayed at the Alexander Inn 2nd weekend of September. Hotel was clean and cozy. Breakfast selection was not large, but nice (waffle maker, toaster, butter & jelly, bagel, hard boiled eggs, and obviously coffee and tea ). The room was small, with a tv, but it was a one queen bedroom for me and my daughter and there was enough room for both of us and our stuff.The bathroom was older but cute and it was clean and everything was functioning. The area was clean and walkable. Delicious coffee shop a block away, and different spots to eat within a few blocks walk. You can walk to the park, it Is clean and peaceful with lots squirrels. The only slight negative was the parking situation, which was about 2 blocks away, and then carrying our bags to the hotel and paying for the parking twice since I had to take my car out last minute and then bring it back to the garage ( I could’ve paid a flat price to be able to take the car in and out if I knew). Anyway, the neighborhood is quite, peaceful and beautiful and it was lovely walking around looking at the historic beautiful buildings and architecture. Their Alexander Inn is anolder hotel and the charm and location is unbeatable.

We loved the "look" of the hotel, it's furniture and art work! Hotel was convenient to great restaurants and all the historical spots we wished to see. While parking is off site (and pricey--natch!), the lot was easy to locate and the discount via the hotel a plus. Loved the wine and cheese in the afternoon and give the staff extra stars for helping us deal with our towed car, medication that need refrigeration, and "stuff" that needed to be stowed after checking out but not leaving town. We would surely stay here again!

I love this Inn!!! Convenience, comfort, and amenities (evening social hour and morning breakfast), in a lovely historic and pet-friendly hotel, in the heart of Philly, only minutes from Reading Market!!! And, every staff member is welcoming and efficient, offering top-notch service! The same is true of the staff of neighboring businesses, which include restaurants (one is vegan, too), coffee and donut shops, clubs, markets and drug stores, and shops. The Alexander Inn is my go-to Inn in Philly!!!

Location was excellent. Our room 203 was horrible. No chair , shower had black mold . No a/c control available in order to operate. Bathroom door wouldn’t close. But the absolute worst was the tv reception and picture which never improved even trying the remote. The toilet is so close to the wall you can’t even sit on it correctly. Never again will I stay recommend

The location was the best part as the hotel is literally in walking distance to almost everything. Overall the stay was decent but there was mold in my initial room which caused me to get very sick. They did offer a room immediately once I notified them so I will commend them on that. Staff were friendly and everything else was good.
