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

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

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
Lonely Planet "Inspired views of City Hall and a position at the centre of Center City make this an appealing choice."
i
Though this hotel's higher floors have decent views in all directions, we highly recommend that you ask for a suite in the hotel's southwest corner.
Gayot "Located right across the street from City Hall, the Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia City Center provides spacious and comfortable suite accommodations."
Fodor's "Originally the Market Street National Bank, this building from the 1920s has a beautifully restored Art Deco facade." Full review
