This was such a neat place to stay at, very comfortable and close to so many things to do. I would definitely stay again and the host and hostess were so nice.

Room was great very clean

Loved all the fire places and decor
Liked: Charming historic house. Super friendly staff. Room/suite clean and spacious. Great value for the money.
Below par: the morning continental breakfast is served in a historic dining room -- but there was hardly enough space on the credenza for the food, plates were tiny and the selection was very limited. If this got improved a bit, it would be a 5-star experience.
Charming, comfortable, quaint stay with a great location and welcoming staff. Room was clean with nice king bed. Bathroom was newly renovated. Staff was very friendly and helpful especially Fred? gentleman who organized morning breakfast, who helped us even at 6:00am. Hard to believe we were in the heart of Philadelphia, more like a country b n b.

Room was very clean and enjoyed the morning breakfast as well. Will definitely return.
This is a lovingly maintained historic hotel! The room was spotless, the bed was super-comfortable and the noise level is very low. Also, the water pressure is great and we loved the heated towel rack! Also, thank you so much to Jim at the front desk - he was awesome and so nice and friendly!
Scott and the entire staff were excellent and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Walking distance to the historic district and yummy restaurants. No elevator in historic building, but staff will help with bags. Parking right across the street. Can't wait to go back!
Looking forward to going back to the Morris House. This boutique hotel is perfectly located near the hospitals and downtown Philadelphia. Scott the manager on duty on Tuesdays and Wednesdays went out of his way to take care of us. From the freshly baked cookies that are set out at 3pm with tea and coffee to wonderful breakfast served in the dinning room every morning, this space is lovely. Our room was spotless, with two thick robes, and all the amenities. Mattress was very comfortable. Really cannot say enough nice things about this gem of a hotel.
Absolutely brilliant. Perfect location. Historic property with beautiful reception rooms. Second time staying and looking forward to coming back. The bedrooms are cozy with a lot of charm. Very walkable and close to the museums and theaters. Simply fantastic

Everything was perfect although there was no hot water in the room :/
Quaint little B&B near Wills Eye Hospital (perfect for a stay after you’ve had surgery). Linda provided a great tour full of historical highlights. Our favorite part was the freshly baked cookies for afternoon “tea”. (The cranberry oatmeal were superb). The house was preserved very well and they even give you a bronze key to get in/out of your room. Would definitely stay again!!
