Did not hold the room I paid for. TV had issues where speakers seemed like they were blown, and the picture was reduced to about 1/2 the size of screen. Wanted to like the place and It has good. qualities for sure, but frustrated by the room they gave me on 2nd floor, right by elevator, with messed up TV.

When I told staff that the air conditioner was not working, I was told there was no maintenance staff on weekends so there was nothing that could be done. Shampoo had already been opened and had hair stuck to bottle.

They told us they had breakfast but there were no clean plates for us to use and no breakfast staff or attendant, also no one was at the front desk to assist. One of the reasons we decided to stay was for the breakfast and we had to find somewhere else to go. We stayed the weekend of 7/4 and the streets were so noisy that we had a hard time falling asleep. It seemed like the building had super thin walls. We heard loud music outside, cars/traffic, and mind you, we went to bed at around 2am. Will not be staying there again.

Great location

I was just staying overnight while being a tourist in Philly. I picked this hotel because it looked unique and was reasonably priced. The building is old and not a very wide building (only the width of the room and hallway). Because it’s old it was retrofitted with window units which made it hard to get cool enough after a hot day outside. The toiletries were nice, the view was good and the location was convenient. They did have a social hour which was good. Their breakfast was okay. Not a lot of choice offered and the person working that day was a bit grumpy. I’d recommend during the heat of the summer trying to stay on a lower floor.

Fantastic Hotel, great location.

I stayed at Alexander Inn during the Football Club World Cup. The hotel is in a beautiful location, close to the City, shopping, bars & restaurants. It’s only 10 minutes subway ride (5 stops) to the Sports Stadiums at NRG. (Phillys, Eagles, 76ers)

This a nice, quiet European-style hotel. Its a friendly place in a good location with reasonable prices. The rooms are small, but OK. the public areas show wear and tear (e.g. peeling wallpaper) and badly need refreshing. The major downside for me was not being able to control the air-conditioning. You have to get the front desk person to come up to make any change.

The location was good, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. However, it's in a very old building with poor insulation, and so on a hot day my room was very warm. Also, there is no on site parking, which makes this hotel very expensive for what you get out of it.
