A great place to stay in a very lovely part of Philly. Not the most luxury place, but I feel like it exceeded my expectations given how affordable it was. Compared to other hotels at this price point it is above and beyond great.

Beautiful Boutique Stay

The Alexander Inn is perfectly situated for spending a few days in Philly. Our cozy room had a bay window giving us lots of space. Its a. Older property with a designated historic sign outside, so expect it to not be modern. Two drink tickets for the evening social, and a basic but tasty breakfast. Well worth it!

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff members were awesome and helpful. The location is fantastic, walkable to all the main tourist attractions. The hotel is old, just need a little upgrade specially the carpets. The complementary happy hour was great too.

I travel to Philly often for work. I love see to live there so I know the city well. The Alexander is my favorite place to stay. It’s charming, in a perfect area, and not a cookie cutter type chain hotel. Love it.

Great location, some issues

The good to great things: the staff is friendly and very helpful; the hotel is very dog-friendly, if that's your thing; the location is top-notch for the scenes around Center City, South Street, etc. The not-so-good: the Wifi was pretty awful (at checkout they said they are working on this, so hopefully it improves soon); the room we were in had 2 dressers, but no small fridge, which was annoying.

Nice clean comfy hotel

Lovely older hotel. Double beds a bit hard. Second room with king was very comfortable. Everything very clean. Continental breakfast nice. Only 2%milk for coffee. Half and half would have been a good addition.
