What a great deal for a nice boutique hotel smack in the middle of downtown Philly.
I was a little nervous because of the price, but the Alexander didn't disappoint. I stayed in a large and expensive Sheraton near U-Penn the night before and I thought the Alexander was the nicer room and hotel.
Rooms are nicely equipped, with good views of the city and a pretty healthy breakfast is provided every morning. Staff is very friendly and helpful. At less than $200 a night (what it was when I stayed), this place is a steal and I would definitely stay here again.
One thing to be aware of: the hotel is in 'gayborhood,' which you can guess by the name is the gay enclave of the city. In this day and age it really shouldn't be an issue, but I figured I'd mention it for those who might be uncomfortable with it.
