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.

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.
