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

"The 243-room Inn at Penn may be a Hilton, but it feels far more like a boutique hotel than a chain." Full review
Gayot "Rather than offering a stiff, formal, hotel-away-from home experience, this property offers the kind of atmosphere you'd expect to find when staying with friends."
Zagat3.7
"With a "men's club feel" and iPads provided for guests' use, there's a "perfect blend of old-school university hotel and modern amenities" at this "comfortable" inn at Penn."
Fodor's "Near the University of Pennsylvania, this hotel is a welcome sight for anyone needing to stay in University City." Full review
Afar Magazine "The 243 guestrooms and suites are classy, efficient, and relatively spacious, though it’s worth upgrading to a suite for a separate sitting area." Full review
National Geographic "Hilton property with art deco styling on the University of Pennsylvania campus, 238 rooms feature luxuriant bedding, plush robes, and in-room virtual office; wine bar and 24-hour fitness center." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Hilton hotel sits on the U Penn campus. The modern, comfortable rooms still have a classy old-world vibe. Prices double on weekends that have any U Penn-related event." Full review
Lonely Planet "This Hilton hotel is a fail-safe option at the heart of University City. Rooms are comfortable, if unspectacular, and come with iPads. It's a popular choice come graduation time" Full review
