It's probably important to mention when your visitors are to arrive and they are parking that they have to pay the meter so they don't get a ticket. As an out of towner who does not have meters where we live was unaware of that which resulted in a ticket. But other than that loved our stay. Will be back for sure!

Great Location

Great location and our room had a wonderful view. The beds/pillow were not great. Very hard, lumpy mattresses and hard pillow. They emptied our rubbish but did not make up the beds which we thought was weird. We did love the location. Easy walk to most of what we wanted to see/do.

Great stay and great price for single night!

I would recommend everyone hear of all other options. Right in the city, literally a 10-15 walk from all the main attractions. Super casual laid back but contemporary feel. Can’t wait to visit again

Great find in a wonderful neighborhood!

This inn was a fantastic find in a great neighborhood. We were welcomed by a very friendly desk clerk upon arrival and informed of a social they host for guests in the evening as well as the breakfast offered in the morning. The social offered wine and light snacks which was a pleasant way to unwind and relax after a busy travel day and breakfast (served in the same room) was continental offering several options for food and coffee. Rooms were very comfortable (we had two) with plenty of space for my friend and I to pull chairs up by the window to chat and enjoy the neighborhood view while catching up. It is an older building but very charming and well kept. I’d definitely stay here again and have been recommending it already to others considering visiting the area. The neighborhood also felt safe and comfortable (unlike another we were supposed to stay in a few nights earlier which we left bc of that) different neighborhoods can be extremely different in Philly and I’m very happy we found this one. My friend is a smoker so we took a nice walk around the area and took in the architecture and charms of the surrounding streets. Parking is in a garage a few blocks away. I’d called ahead to inquire about parking and again, staff was very helpful and patient in explaining the arrangements they have with a certain garage and gave us clear instructions about getting the rate honored to their guests. All in all a great experience!

Amazing Service!

Very impressed with our stay at Alexander Inn. We arrived early due to an overnight flight and the staff were very considerate and helpful to accommodate us. Especially the man working on the morning of July 25, he was great in helping us get checked in as early as possible. Otherwise, the breakfast was okay: we just stuck with the bagels and yoghurt, but there wasn’t too much variety. Despite it being >30C outside in a heatwave and being on the top floor, our room was kept a great temperature bc of the AC.

This place reminds of cheap rundown motels in 1990’s when I was in college. Parking was nightmare, no place to leave your car to check in. I had to walk ten minutes after I parked my vehicle in offsite parking garage at 11pm on Friday night paying $45 for 12 hours without in and out options. I could have stayed other nicer reputable hotels paying same rate per night with valet parking option for $50-$70.
