Hotel was very cute & comfortable and I love the historic vibe. Does not necessarily have all the bells and whistles of a modern hotel (rooms are pretty small), but is in a really excellent location. Unfortunately we were not able to turn the AC on in our room and had to get an employee to do it, but other than that it was quite nice.

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"!

The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, and this extended to the complimentary happy hour and breakfast, where guests can get to know other guests. The service was good, yet my room was not stocked with shampoo, soap, lotion, tissue, and toilet tissue after the first day of my stay, so I had to buy these items from a pharmacy.
