The Alexander Inn is a great option for travelers looking to spend a night or two in Philadelphia. The location is very convenient with restaurants nearby and is walking distance from historical sites. The continental breakfast was good enough, and the front desk staff was very friendly. Our room was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
