Alexander Inn is a charming boutique hotel in downtown Philadelphia with a great location, just a short walk to Rittenhouse Square and many restaurants and attractions. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff were very welcoming throughout our stay. We really appreciated the light breakfast and happy hour snacks, which felt like a thoughtful extension of the room and added a cozy touch. The room was clean and comfortable overall. The only downside was that the bed felt a bit small and not as comfortable as we would have liked. Overall, a lovely stay, and I would definitely come back again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was hot and no way to control heat. Front desk says only way to cool it down is to open the windows. Sucky tv. Not a smart TV and no guide. Just a few channels to choose from. In my opinion bed was too hard; not very comfy. Breakfast was mediocre and they kept running out of coffee. Random dude roaming the halls stealing paintings off the hallway walls (no joke) then caused a ruckus as he kicked the doors on the way out. I'm a Philly native so I'm used to seeing crazy crap like that, but not something you want to see in the hotel you're staying at. Good location but I don't think I'd stay here for more than a night.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the overall experience was disappointing. Evening snacks and wine included rotten fruit, warm wine, and cheap cheese. Breakfast was also poor: no fruit, no cheese, only boiled eggs and low-quality pastries. We waited more than 20 minutes for coffee and had to ask for everything, from utensils to cream cheese. The hotel clearly needs more staff at breakfast.
