The Morris House Hotel is a gem in Philadelphia. It's rich with history, and you will feel like you stepped into the late 1700s when you are here, but with the amenities of the 21st century. Jerry and Alejandro made us feel at home. Their continental breakfast is sufficient to fuel for the day, complete with coffee, tea, milk, juice, yogurt, muffins, oatmeal, and boiled eggs. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits is that it's walking distance from the Independence Historic Park area, which was the main reason for our visit to Philly. The rooms are large with ample space. I called ahead to request a welcome gift for my husband for his birthday, and Jerry exceeded my expectations with a beautiful cheese tray. We are very happy and hope to return soon.

Location, Location, Location

This establishment is within walking distance of many historic sites in the old town. The staff at Morris House was very friendly and informative. They gave us a map of the historic district and surrounding area and told us which sites were the best. The property was built in 1787, and though it has been well cared for, it is very old! If you want sparkling and new, this is not your place. However, if you want a unique place to stay with comfy beds, this is a good place! The rooms are decorated to period, but have modern conveniences such as a clean tiled bathroom with lots of hot water for showers. Though some reviews talk of a restaurant and bar on site, there is not currently a restaurant or bar on the property. The breakfast was served in an intimate room with a fireplace, and included hard boiled eggs, English muffins with toaster, coffee cake, muffins, cereal and yogurt. There also was OJ, milk, drip coffee and Keurig coffee maker. Though we were disappointed that there was no restaurant, there are several within a short walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
