The front desk staff were friendly, the water pressure in the shower and a/c were decent. The bed was too hard. The breakfast was a joke.

4/10 Fair

There is an odor to this hotel that I cannot fully describe. It was terrible. The bathroom is small and not well lit and the bathroom soap and shampoo are horrible. The air conditioning unit in the room is very loud and the room was very small. It was not worth the cost. The only silver lining was that the location was good.

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.
