I absolutely loved my stay at Morris House Hotel in the Historic area of Philly. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, with a large vintage bedroom feel, although they could use some improvement in addressing mold issues. The service was top-notch, with attentive and helpful staff always willing to assist. The location was absolutely perfect, next to Washington Square and just a stone's throw away from Independence Hall, making it convenient for exploring the city's historic attractions. The dining options were good but could have had a few more choices. Overall, a charming hotel with a few minor areas for enhancement.
