Described as B&B; Self-serve style, nice,clean, continental style breakfast,plenty of fresh fruits.Had toaster for warming bread & bagels. Certain items available all day: danish pastries,fruits,ice water. The only thing I missed was hot breakfast foods; like eggs, pancakes, breakfast meats. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS LOVELY B&B!

The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff makes this a great place to stay while visiting Philadelphia. However, the standard roooms are very small. They did not honor the discounted rate I was quoted when I made a confirmed, guaranteed reservation for the friday and saturday nights of our stay and charged their maximum rate for those nights. I was told that their rates are subject to change. Despite that, the hotel was beautifully restored, clean, free computer use and a fitness room that was too warm, and a wonderful staff, made our stay very pleasant.

we like is place,friendly helpful,great city we loved the old city this is a great place to be we would love to go there if we are in pa.

The hotel is is a great location to walk to many historic and cultural sites in the city. It's a cozy, quiet and warm environment. The restoration is tastefully done-subdued colors and beautiful historical accents. I loved the breakfast. It's great to have healthy choices. The only negative thing is that rooms are a little small.

The location was perfect for touring, service was impeccable, and every one helped in making our visit memorable. The staff was always accommodating, breakfast was always ready when we came down. It took some time before we found out who the inn keeper was because everyone just made sure that we all had a great day. We were lucky to find this niche of old world charm in the heart of Philly. Thank you, Alexander Inn !

We wanted a get away from the kids and we were pampered and refreshed after a long weekend at the Alexander Inn! Don't wait - you will not be disappointed!

The rooms are a good size for the price. It is a wonderfully cozy boutique hotel with a very nice and knowledgeable staff. It is also in a more quiet albeit still central location. I really have no complaints about any part of this place. We'll definitely be making this place our primary hotel when we make return trips to Philly.

the hotel staff were very friendly robert at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and went out of his way to help me look for my wallet that i thought i lost. it came out to my vechile and searched under seats and located my wallet i am forever thankful to him for saving my trip from becoming a total disaster thank you rob and the alexander for going out of your way!!!!

We stayed at the Alexander Inn for two nights in April. We had an awful experience and would not recommend this hotel to anyone. For starters, our hotel room was incredibly dirty. There was a high film of dust covering everything from tables, shelves to counters. The sheets were off white and dingy and, on top of that, had holes in them. The sheets wouldn't stay on the bed while sleeping and we woke up several times partially sleeping on an uncovered mattress, which reeked of urine. I even got a rash on my arm afterwards. Also, at one point, our toilet clogged. We called the front desk and were told we could come down and get a plunger and fix the toilet ourselves. As for the "nonsmoking" part, on our first night there was smoke wafting in from one of the rooms on our hall. We had to place a towel under the door. While staying at the hotel, we ordered take-out and when the company didn't bring plates, we thought we could ask the front desk for plates or something we could use to eat our food on (It was indian food so it would be impossible to eat it without a service of some kind). They claimed they could give us napkins. Even though, there were plates and bowls for the continental breakfast. Now, suddenly, there were none. So, we called the delivery place and asked if they could bring the plates. They said okay and so we waited. However, after waiting a while we decided to go out in search of a place to buy our own plates. We found a convenience store a block away, purchased plates and brought them back to the hotel. We passed the person at the front desk on the way up; he looked at us and said nothing. Then after another hour, I called the delivery place to let them know that no one came to deliver the plates. They informed us that someone did come and they left the plates with the front desk. Lo and behold, the person at the front desk never informed us that someone brought us plates. He stole our plates instead. We noticed the hotel was supposed to offer a "breakfast buffet" and 24 hour snack bar. I wouldn't consider a small limited continental breakfast a "breakfast buffet," nor would I consider old dried out bagels and pastries from the continental breakfast that morning a good idea of a "snack bar." Also, there was construction going on outside all night, which didn't lend to getting much sleep. That was our experience at the oh so quaint Alexander Inn. Don't stay there if you want to have anything close to a good time.

The only thing that could of made it better is if they had room service and a cocktail lounge.The staff is AWESOME from th front desk to the housekeeping staff. Very helpful and courteous. Thanx I'll Be BACK
