My partner and I had a very nice one-night stay at this charming hotel. Some points that other travelers might find relevant: *building was historic, so guests should expect it to be charming and perfectly clean but not necessarily have the latest and greatest technology everywhere (for instance, the shower was a stall and not a bathtub in our room)....

Reviews are personal. We are from Europe, live in a period - albeit rather younger and very much more modest - property. We felt really comfortable here, it was like staying with friends. Yes there is urban noise, but no more than in any serious city. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and furnished, but still in a comfortable manner.... More

We really loved the Morris House and the staff. Its location is perfect, a short walk to Independence Green, the Liberty Bell, Constitution Hall, Reading Market (WOW), and on it goes. You have to go to the Walnut Street Theater, the oldest in the US. Just walk everywhere. We found great restaurants that we loved, just by asking the locals... More

Morris House Hotel was in a good central position with short walks to centre of town and historic sites. Rooms were large and very comfortable and clean, ours had a large separate living area with full kitchen. Could hear trains coming but they never interrupted our sleep. Continental breakfast only (included in price) but was not great at all, for... More

I found this hotel on Google maps and loved the central location. So here are the pros and cons: Pros : Location. Can't be beat. Short walks to top restaurants, historical sites (Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc). Large comfortable rooms. Clean, comfortable and very spacious. The rooms are very, very nice. A/C, flat screen TV with a lot of channels,... More

If you like quaint hotels with top notch, professional and attentive service this is the place. The location is fantastic-about 2 blocks from Independence Hall/Liberty Bell. Many shops and restaurants are nearby and easily reached by foot. The room we had was like a small suite with a separate sitting room. The appearance of the place was outstanding. Lowell and... More

We usually stay at all the larger hotels in center area of Philadelphia but decided to try the Morris House as we saw it in a flyer. It was a wonderful experience. The staff, especially Lowell the manager, was exceptional. The room was like a large suite.it was clean, comfortable and charming. Courtyard was enchanting and restaurant had nice menu.... More

My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel. The continental-plus breakfast and teatime treats exceeded expectations, though neither would be what you would call 'filling'. Rooms are a bit quirky as you might expect from a historic inn. But very clean, and staffed by uncommonly friendly and helpful people. Definitely worth the price.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful hotel. BUT, I stayed in rooms on the 8th St side of the building (Rooms 202 and 302) and the rumblings from the trains underneath were unbelievable - the bed shook, the furniture and fitting rattled.... The trains don't run late, but they start pretty early in the morning - not too bad... More
