DK Eyewitness "This boutique hotel has modern decor that adds a touch of European charm. It has an excellent Center City location, just a couple of blocks from the theater district."
Gayot "Although it opened in 1998, this hotel was designed to reflect 1930s modern decor—you may feel as if you've traveled back in time to a cruise ship in the early 20th century."
BlackBook "The Alexander combines just the right amount of laissez-faire attitude and professionalism."
Fodor's "The well maintained rooms at this small hotel have an Art Deco feel." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Wonderful value given the central location, and the hotel provides free breakfast, free daily snacks, and free Wi-Fi, as well as a 24-hour fitness center." Full review
Not For Tourists "Decent prices for the area."
Time Out "One of the greatest things about the Alexander Inn, open since 1998, is the variety of room types it offers." Full review
Frommer's "Simple, eminently affordable little rooms—ask for one with bay windows for a sitting nook, or a corner room, which are the biggest—help make this spot in Washington Square West popular." Full review

"Independent with a loyal gay following, this small boutique hotel offers personable service and Art Deco-inspired rooms at modest rates." Full review

Lonely Planet "This hotel's central location, pleasing City Hall views and gilded lobby compensate for sterile rooms lacking in character." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is a comfortable Marriott-brand hotel housed in the historic, former City Hall Annex building."
Frommer's "The largest hotel in the state, and then some, the thrice-incarnated Philadelphia Marriott is high volume -- and surprisingly high service." Full review
Fodor's "This hotel is in the historic City Hall Annex, and the original brass, copper, and bronze details on the elevators and staircases have been lovingly refinished." Full review
Gayot "Converted from Philadelphia's former City Hall Annex in 1999, this historic building is now a 17-story respite of comfortable, modern rooms in the heart of downtown."
