We loved the Morris House. It was a quick trip for us in the historic part of Philadelphia so staying in such a charming and historic home turned hotel added so much to our experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was large and comfortable. We especially loved the restaurant attached to the hotel. Our stay was great and we'd definitely return in the future.

Built in the late 1700's and was updated expertly with modern conveniences to make our stay great. Located only a block from the historic district and walking distance to other sites. The staff was exceptional, especially Jim. He gave us a tour of the building explaining its origins and history. He took the time to give us many tips that made a big difference on our 3 day stay. There is a small parking area at the front door off a side street to unload bags. A parking garage is immediately across the street. Be aware that we paid $102 for 3 days parking, at least it was safe. The room was very quiet and the bed was so comfortable we hated to get out in the morning. We booked a mini suite on the third floor (no elevators) which made the journey upward a bit tiring on a couple in their late 70's. The staff kept the room and the entire building clean. Breakfast was simple with the usual fare. As far as food, there are a wealth of eateries close by ranging from quick and cheap to full course dining - with prices to match. You can't go wrong staying here - great place!

The property was absolutely beautiful. The staff was incredible. The continental breakfast was really good. The room was so quiet especially at night which I loved. If your looking to explore there's tons of things to do within walking distance no more than 15 minutes. A great experience indeed I'll definitely be back again.

We were welcomed by the nicest gentleman. We arrived early and he told us all about the history of Philadelphia and made suggestions for where to go. We were so glad he did because our tour later that day was canceled due to rain so we wouldn’t have learned much about Philadelphia if he hadn’t of spent that extra time with us! It was a very comfortable place and we enjoyed the historic nature of the hotel.
