I had a truly enjoyable six-night stay at the Alexander Inn during the July 4th week. The room was spacious and decorated with charming character, though I did find the bed a bit firm for my liking. The location was fantastic, allowing me to easily walk to many attractions and restaurants, which made my experience even better. The staff was wonderfully friendly and helpful, but I did notice that some areas, like the television, were a bit dated.

I had a lovely stay at the Alexander Inn, characterized by its charming atmosphere and friendly staff. The location was fantastic, with many key attractions within walking distance.

My stay at Alexander Inn had its highlights and low points. The staff were incredibly accommodating, which made me feel welcomed throughout my visit. The location is excellent for exploring Philadelphia, making it easy to walk to various attractions. However, the thin walls contributed to noise disturbances, impacting my ability to sleep well. The breakfast options left something to be desired, lacking variety and quality compared to what I had hoped for. Overall, while charming, there are areas needing improvement.

I had a good stay at Alexander Inn, enjoying the charming decor and the friendly atmosphere, although the breakfast could use a bit more variety. The location was fantastic, with easy access to restaurants and historical sites, making it easy to explore Philadelphia. One downside was the off-site parking, which required a bit of a walk back through a lively neighborhood at night. Overall, I'd recommend it for its unique character and great service.
