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.

Charming, retro, artsy hotel that has complimentary breakfast, offers wine and small bites early evening that are amazing. Not to mention the complimentary chicken soup around mid day. The efforts to provide exceptional customer service is to be admired. The staff are pleasant, accommodating and even make your bed in the morning! Truly a hidden gem tucked behind the big hotels and much better at making you feel welcomed and “ at home”. Kudos Alexander Inn- we will be back.

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.
