It was a nice stay overall. The staff were very friendly and the room was quite nice. The bed could have been softer for a single room, but I could still sleep ok. The window on the 7th floor offered a nice view of the city.

My stay at Alexander Inn was amazing, as usual, but Dresden made it extra amazing. I highly recommend staying here, the location is amazing and the staff, especially Dresden, will make sure your stay is as great as possible. I can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

Excellent hotel by the train station with perfect 1 person rooms. I had a window that wouldn't fully close which made traffic a little bother when trying to sleep. They had a buffet breakfast and comfy lobby chairs. Staff was also very accommodating for when my room key wasn't working and gave me a replacement. Worth the prince.

The hotel was in a fantastic central area with a spacious room and very nice and helpful staff. The room was very outdated and musty. Bed was comfortable, pillows were not. I prefer a more updated and prettier hotel experience. Bathroom had tile that appeared to be from the 60s. Old but in good condition.

The neighborhood is nice and felt safe. Liked the old style but the room had 2 vitamins underneath the baseboard that I could clearly see when I walked into the room. The AC window unit ran but would cut out and was loud when it came back on. Breakfast was decent. All-in-all it was fine. Would I stay there again? Most likely not.

Anyone who knows the Alexander Inn loves the Alexander Inn. From the charming antique features --stained glass and art deco insets, lovely tile work--to the spacious rooms and the friendly staff, it is a delightful property. The location is sublime for Philadelphia fun.
