6 reviews for The Morris House
If I ever find myself in Philadelphia again in the future, I will go out of my way to stay at the Morris House. That's how pleased I've been with my experiences here.
Conveniently located to Independance Hall, this Bed & Breakfast takes you on a trip through time. Imagine this history this place saw!
The service here was A+. When I returned a year after my first visit and called to make a reservation as I was driving up, they remembered me from the last time I was there!
The room was comfortable and nicely decorated.
There were all kinds of old books on the bookshelf. One caught my eye - an early 20th century book on personality disorders. My father in law, who is a psychiatrist, would love it! I asked the staff if I could possibly buy the book, and he told me to just take it. Now that's awesome.
Next time I'm there, I'll donate a few books of my own as a way of saying thank you.
This is our favorite place to stay in Philadelphia. The Morris House has the ambiance of a bed & breakfast and the ammenities of a small boutique hotel. Each room is unique and can be "checked out" on the website in advance. The hotel has a historic and comfortable feel, not only in the rooms but also the ground floor library and dining rooms. We especially like the rooms with views of the courtyard. The Morris House is within walking distance of Independence Hall and the vibrant neighborhoods near Thomas Jefferson Uiversity and South Street.
Simply put: a wonderful hotel in every respect.
I was both a guest and event coordinator at a wedding at the Morris House Hotel. It was an excellent experience in both regards.
As a guest, I was impressed by the hotel's convenient location, stunning period architecture and detail, charming and inviting decor and modern amenities. The hotel itself was lovely - classic colonial in keeping with Philadelphia and yet modern. The courtyard where the wedding was held was simply lovely - beautifully and simply landscaped and immaculately maintained. The guestroom was beautifully appointed, clean, and had modern amenities that made it feel like a brand new hotel, instead of an historical one. I would certainly come back to the hotel and would recommend it without hesitation to any future guests.
As an event coordinator, I was equally impressed. Working with the staff at the Morris House and with their caterer Max Hansen Caterers was delightful. We worked as a team to create a perfect and memorable event. Both the Morris House and Max Hansen Caterers showed that there were committed to making the wedding run smoothly: they warmly greeted guests, worked professionally and cordially with all vendors and were able to anticipate any issues before they happened. The wedding was perhaps one of the most unique events that I have coordinated, and that was in large part due to the beautiful location at the Morris House. I would recommend the Morris House to any of my clients who are having a wedding of 120 guests or less.
My daughter was married in the courtyard of the Morris House Hotel! We could not have had a more beautiful or romantic location. The staff made us feel welcome and satisfied every request graciously. The colonial decor was impressive, yet warm and inviting. Our room was lovely and comfortable and everything was impeccably clean. We would recommend this perfect location near the historic district to every visitor to Philadelphia.
A very pretty and conveniently located boutique hotel in Philadelphia. Most of my family and my in-laws stayed here on a "Meet the Parents" weekend. The staff was friendly and helpful with questions about the city. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated and breakfast was very good.
The Morris House is a national registered landmark that is now an upscale boutique hotel. The colonial mansion was originally built in the mid-1700's for the Morris Family, who owned it for over a century. Our large room was perfectly decorated in a modern yet timeless design, no overdone antique florals here, that still conveyed an old-fashioned charm. I loved the gourmet chocolates and designer bath products outfitted in the rooms. There was a gorgeous fireplace and a hundred books or so in the built-in bookcases flanking each side. I picked a medical book out from the late 19th century to peruse while on our comfy, spacious bed and was entertained by the floridly archaic diagnoses. The private garden was very lovely and so were the downstairs rooms where complimentary high tea was served and in another room, the included breakfast was elegantly offered up. It's very romantic and located close to all the must see sights of Philadelphia. The staff was very courteous and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
