Frommer's Review

The Alexander Inn bills itself as a four-star hotel at reasonable rates. It's got all the comfort and friendliness of a bed-and-breakfast, with a classy 1930s Art Deco/cruise boat feel to the furnishings. Rooms feature DirecTV with eight all-movie channels and individual artwork, and bathrooms sparkle with cleanliness. Corner rooms are larger and brighter. The Alexander Inn is in the heart of the gay/lesbian district of Center City, and its clientele is both straight and gay.

Facilities:
24-hr. fitness center; business center; wireless Internet throughout

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
