All in all our stay was good. It was my first time in Philadelphia. I chose this hotel because I liked that it was a small boutique hotel with history. It felt like a bed and breakfast. It's within walking distance to Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Visitor Center, Tour bus and restaurants. We arrived around 9pm and Linda was very nice. She showed us around and gave us a history lesson on the hotel. Get there before 11pm. They lock the gates and you need a key to get in the side door on 8th St. We stayed in room 203. It's right above the lobby and dining room. I was concerned about the possible noise of the front door, but we didn't hear anything. The hotel is quiet. Take into account that we were gone early in the morning and got back in the evening every day. We did hear the subway a little bit from our room, but it wasn't bad at all. The room was very spacious having 2 rooms with a door you can close in-between. The mattress definitely needs to be replaced. Before going, I saw reviews about the hot water. You do have to run it longer to get hot water. It's really hot when other rooms are taking showers already. The water pressure wasn't the best, but it got the job done. My girlfriend recommended more lighting in the room for doing her makeup. Parking is in a "tight" garage across the street. The hotel discounts it a little bit. Just bring the parking ticket to them. They have a continental breakfast every morning. All the staff was very nice. I would stay again.

I cannot say enough good things about my stay. The room was clean, beautiful, and comfortable. The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of all the historic sites. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They offered ideas on places to eat and visit during the stay and made sure all our requests were met in a timely fashion.

The Morris House is a unique hotel. Just around the corner from Independence Hall, we were in walking distance to the historical museums and parks. Plenty of eating establishments nearby as well. Our car never left the convenient parking garage across the street, and we received a discount by staying at the Morris House to boot! The hotel is a great value, and the staff was wonderful.
