This Inn is old world charm with a great location. The wine&cheese amenity was particularly nice with two fine gentlemen waitstaff who made this time special. They were kind and informative to the activities in the area. The room was clean and held what we needed to be refreshed to explore the city. Good Job Alexander Inn!

This is a beautiful, historic inn in a very walkable area of the city. The room was very nice with large windows to get good views of the city. The only downside was the distance you had to walk with your luggage, etc from the parking garage to the inn. This could be an important factor for some people. There was a discount given for guests for the parking. I loved everything about it but the parking situation.

There is an odor to this hotel that I cannot fully describe. It was terrible. The bathroom is small and not well lit and the bathroom soap and shampoo are horrible. The air conditioning unit in the room is very loud and the room was very small. It was not worth the cost. The only silver lining was that the location was good.

Excellent hotel by the train station with perfect 1 person rooms. I had a window that wouldn't fully close which made traffic a little bother when trying to sleep.

The room was musty and the shower grout was disgusting. The breakfast was not much and the staff working it were always grunting and groaning and slamming dishes. They should save their money on the wine and cheese hour because the wine was Barefoot and the cheese and fruit was leftover from the day before-the fruit was hot one day which was odd.

This is an older building so there were a couple of minor issues associated with the age of the building. It has a lot of character though which is something we like. The staff was wonderful and so helpful. We enjoyed Bruce, who served us at the social hour, very much. The social hour was a nice benefit of staying here and went from 5-7 each day. This is in a great area about six blocks from the train station that we arrived at when coming in to the city from the airport. I would highly recommend staying here.

We chose to stay at the Alexander Inn because of the location. We had two rooms. The location is great. A couple of the staff were really helpful. The property is very dated. I know it's an old building, but the carpets were frayed, the room felt tiny and dark, the blinds were stained, and the stairway was grubby. Our key cards were deactivated about six times during our stay. The breakfast room and reception were a nice perk. A bit cluttered and not enough plates/silverware but the gentleman staffing this was helpful and I appreciated how hard he was working. Overall it was servicable but for the price I wish I had stayed somewhere else.

It is a very old hotel and so there's only so many things you can do to a very old hotel to make it comfortable. The stage Creek the elevator is slow and the carpets are a bit dirty. I was hoping for a more historic experience when I booked but I would not stay there again. I will not say it was a horrible experience, it just subpar in my experience.

Such a lovely place nestled into \"The Gayborhood\" of Philly and so close to the Ballet and our chosen restaurants for lunch and dinner. Staff was so friendly and the place clean and charming. Imagine being greeted by bird song as we woke up in the morning. Enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese int he evening and we understood ther was soup in the afternoon and a breakfast as well. Not a modern, sleek hotel, but would recommend to anyone not looking fro glitz and glam. It had a kind of an old-world, only \"insiders\" know about this place charm!

We checked in and were told no information about the air conditioning in our room. When we arrived in the room it was about 80 degrees and the air conditioner wall unit was blowing hot air. We immediately requested the remote to turn the air on and were told they do not give customers remotes, so we asked if someone could go upstairs and turn it on for us. The person at the desk noted she would do this while we were grabbing some food. When we returned the air was not on and no one had come to our room. We asked again for someone to turn the air on and this time were told that the air “hadn’t been turned from the winter setting” and that air conditioning was not available to us despite it being on the amenities list. The front desk attendant gave us a dirty box fan instead. We did end up calling Hotels.com customer support who spoke to the attendant and were then told that it was just our room that did not have air. This was a culmination of three stories regarding the air conditioning over a span of two hours. We fortunately were able to find another hotel to stay at but were very sad to leave such a historic, beautiful building. The room itself was small but nice for a couple and we would have gladly stayed had the air conditioning been working appropriately.

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.
