The Morris House was everything we were looking for. The hotel itself was warm & welcoming, the staff were friendly, and the bed was super comfy! Stop in at The Morris restaurant for happy hour during the week. We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed only one night because I had a meeting at 8am in Philadelphia. This is such a little gem! It has all the charm from and old mansion, the pictures, history. Very cozy and the staff was amazing. I already had checked out but stayed in the lobby for a couple of hours to work,and I was offered water and coffee, and it was just a wonderful experience. Will be back for more than one night. Thank you

Everyone who works at Morris Hotel House was very friendly and provided excellent service in response to any questions or concerns we had. We were shown personally to our room and appreciated the cleanliness of the room. The beds were also very comfortable. This hotel is also very close to tourist spots and center city nightlife.

Nice, but unorganized.
They are not aware of the contents of the text of their automated arrival communications, provided by links in their emails. On checkour . I had a lengthy conversation their desk person, but later the same person called and were unaware I had checked out over two hours earlier. Please do not charge me the $250 late checkout fee. Since I dropped off my key with a human being and left at 9:30am.

Very spacious rooms. It doesn’t feel like a hotel, you get a fully functional apartment if you pick one of the suites which is nice. Very quiet, no thru foot traffic noise. Great staff, everyone was very nice and it’s connected to a restaurant.
