    The price of the parking garage but this has nothing to do with the hotel which was great!

    Centrally located for what we wanted to accomplish. Also thank you for the 15% discount validation for the parking garage which is ruinously expensive.

    The staff person on check in wasn't super friendly. She did her job but not overly welcoming. The other staff of the hotel was great.

    We enjoyed the historical aspect of the hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable. Light breakfast was provided which was nice and enjoyable.

    When we were accessing the building to get to our room, we passed some people smoking right at the entrance. I suggest that staff and guests be directed to smoke in a different area. There is plenty of space on the property, and smokers do not need to congregate by main entrances and exits.

    The location was wonderful. Room 503 was lovely. Lots of historic charm in the buildings.

    The options for breakfast were very limited, especially if anyone in your party (or yourself) has coealic. Could habe done with a full length mirror in the room, there was one hidden in a wardrobe we found the last 2 days of our stay. The windows in our room did let a lot of outdoor noise in, so some distrubed nights but nothing horrendous. The room could have done with another main light to light up the other half of the room.

    Location is brilliant for being able to see alot of the historical part of Philidelphia, the building was beautiful and I loved the fact that check in included a brief history of the hotel, staff were very friendly and always said hi or morning. I loved the afternoon cookies and coffee / tea they offered, I've never known any other hotel/b&b do that. The room was a very good size and the bed was very comfortable. Our first day at the botel they gave us a map with suggested places to visit, which was also an enjoyable moment. Would highly recommend staying at Morris House Hotel!

    Lovely old historic building, Disappointed with restaurant being shut on Monday night without prior

    Restaurant staff asking us to move to another table as not eating, however courtyard garden was empty 30 minutes prior to their closing time, so I and my wife not in any bodies way? Second night Monday, were told restaurant was not open on this night, not sure if weekly or just a one off being closed on Monday night?

    Old historic house, not easy taking cases upstairs, but knew this when booking. Strange first night, wanted to relax in restaurant garden with a drink, but was asked to move to the outskirts of the courtyard, as people eating there and we were only having a drink? Second night Monday was informed restaurant would be closed, which if normal practice, then we should have been prior informed. Spent the night eating in a very good establishment just down the road.
