An ideal location in the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence — it truly doesn’t get any better than this. A beautiful, authentic historic house with a cozy atmosphere and true hospitality. The breakfast deserves a special mention — the baked goods will stay in our hearts forever ❤️ Absolutely delicious and homemade. We would also like to sincerely thank the staff for their honesty and care: we accidentally left a ring in the room, and the team found it and kindly mailed it back to us. This means a lot and deserves the highest praise. You are amazing! Thank you for such a warm and memorable stay. We would love to come back again.

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”
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.
