I don't even shop around for hotels in Philadelphia. Book at the Alexander. It's like a private club that only hosts interesting people whom you meet at reception and breakfast. Happy to be a " member"!

Great location

I was just staying overnight while being a tourist in Philly. I picked this hotel because it looked unique and was reasonably priced. The building is old and not a very wide building (only the width of the room and hallway). Because it’s old it was retrofitted with window units which made it hard to get cool enough after a hot day outside. The toiletries were nice, the view was good and the location was convenient. They did have a social hour which was good. Their breakfast was okay. Not a lot of choice offered and the person working that day was a bit grumpy. I’d recommend during the heat of the summer trying to stay on a lower floor.

Fantastic Hotel, great location.

I stayed at Alexander Inn during the Football Club World Cup. The hotel is in a beautiful location, close to the City, shopping, bars & restaurants. It’s only 10 minutes subway ride (5 stops) to the Sports Stadiums at NRG. (Phillys, Eagles, 76ers)

This a nice, quiet European-style hotel. Its a friendly place in a good location with reasonable prices. The rooms are small, but OK. the public areas show wear and tear (e.g. peeling wallpaper) and badly need refreshing. The major downside for me was not being able to control the air-conditioning. You have to get the front desk person to come up to make any change.

The location was good, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. However, it's in a very old building with poor insulation, and so on a hot day my room was very warm. Also, there is no on site parking, which makes this hotel very expensive for what you get out of it.

This is a lovely old hotel in a fabulous section of Philadelphia. They've done wonderful updates so it is historic but somewhat modernized and tasteful. I have stayed here before but did not get there in time to enjoy the complimentary happy hour. I truly enjoyed it this time. And the included breakfast is one of the best I've ever had at a hotel. When caveat - Don't take them up on their offer for a discounted parking garage. The garage itself is very overpriced, even after their discount. There are other better options within a 5 block radius. Overall fantastic experience and highly recommend.

It’s on a kind of busy street however it’s a nice, walkable neighborhood location near awesome restaurants, the subway and historical points of interest. The inn is a cool throwback in time. It’s clean & just the right amount of quirky and the staff is friendly. There’s a bodega right across the street for snacks, but keep in mind there was no mini fridge or microwave (at least not in my room). Small but adequate continental breakfast daily (wish the coffee was available 24/7) and a wine social in the evenings at the inn. Parking is at a garage about 3 blocks away and can be expensive. We were there over Memorial Day weekend to see Metallica so that may have factored in to the expense of the garage. If you’re in town for a concert or sports event, it’s a quick ride to the stadium venues on the subway. On a side note, you should not double park in front of the inn and go into the inn for checking in or whatever… don’t do this! Just don’t. Don’t even think it. The street is narrow and there is already parking on it and there’s a city bus that runs down that block. I saw 2 separate guests during my stay who did this and the bus just laid down the horn like crazy. it creates a big traffic jam and people who live on the block get (rightfully) pissed off. So be kind and think of the neighborhood. All in all it was a pretty cool stay and I’d definitely go back.
