Highly Recommended!
Everyone who works at Morris Hotel House was very friendly and provided excellent service in response to any questions or concerns we had. We were shown personally to our room and appreciated the cleanliness of the room. The beds were also very comfortable. This hotel is also very close to tourist spots and center city nightlife.

Nice, but unorganized.
They are not aware of the contents of the text of their automated arrival communications, provided by links in their emails. On checkour . I had a lengthy conversation their desk person, but later the same person called and were unaware I had checked out over two hours earlier. Please do not charge me the $250 late checkout fee. Since I dropped off my key with a human being and left at 9:30am.

Very spacious rooms. It doesn’t feel like a hotel, you get a fully functional apartment if you pick one of the suites which is nice. Very quiet, no thru foot traffic noise. Great staff, everyone was very nice and it’s connected to a restaurant.
