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.

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

It is one of the best bed and breakfast places we stayed. The building was magnificent. The staff was very friendly. Our room was very cozy with a cute four-poster bed.

Beautiful building, great restaurant, delightful staff. The room was tastefully decorated with a comfortable bed and a surprisingly adequate bathroom. (Typically hard to find in in these historic buildings). "M" restaurant was just right..."Lora Dee" is spot on with bar service. Food is tasty. Very convenient for hotel guests.
