The staff was helpful and friendly. Easy to get to destinations downtown from the area, but later at night, some of the area was a little sketchy if you went one direction on 12th. Parking is not quite what is advertised; it is just 10% off, and the rate is more than on the website for 1 day, 14 hours. I spent $90.00 after the discount. Clean, having new towels and toiletries left out in the hall with the do not disturb sign hung was nice. Breakfast was okay, couldn't get one type of cereal out of the dispenser because of the size, the fresh fruit was nice, ran out of cream cheese. Wine and snacks in the evening were a nice touch. The bed is fairly comfortable. Older hotels don't expect the fanciest or largest bathroom, but they have good water pressure.

The staff was super friendly and the location was amazing. Breakfast was very complete, with different milk options for vegans for example. The room is a bit small if you have too much luggage, but it works out fine.

Girl at breakfast seemed overwhelmed with quite a few guests all at once. Please fix the coffee dispensing units. Had to do a lot of pumping. There are better coffee pots available to inns. Check in was slow due to a perceived problem with our room but apparently that room wasn’t ours. We were early so it wasn’t a big problem for us but seemed avoidable. The room was nice, good view, and comfortable. Staff was friendly.

Fantastic hotel for seeing Philly.

The room was nice and cozy, the staff were polite, and the cleaners placed items very respectfully on my bed. The bed itself was a bit small, but that's my fault for requesting a twin and not something bigger. Overall, amazing.

Very comfortable and quiet hotel in a nice area. We appreciated the evening snacks. The pillows could use replacement, and more room darkening options on the windows would be a good idea. Overall a great stay and we would go back!

Did not hold the room I paid for. TV had issues where speakers seemed like they were blown, and the picture was reduced to about 1/2 the size of screen. Wanted to like the place and It has good. qualities for sure, but frustrated by the room they gave me on 2nd floor, right by elevator, with messed up TV.

When I told staff that the air conditioner was not working, I was told there was no maintenance staff on weekends so there was nothing that could be done. Shampoo had already been opened and had hair stuck to bottle.

Liked: Cleanliness
They told us they had breakfast but there were no clean plates for us to use and no breakfast staff or attendant, also no one was at the front desk to assist. One of the reasons we decided to stay was for the breakfast and we had to find somewhere else to go. We stayed the weekend of 7/4 and the streets were so noisy that we had a hard time falling asleep. It seemed like the building had super thin walls. We heard loud music outside, cars/traffic, and mind you, we went to bed at around 2am. Will not be staying there again.

Great location

I was just staying overnight while being a tourist in Philly. I picked this hotel because it looked unique and was reasonably priced. The building is old and not a very wide building (only the width of the room and hallway). Because it’s old it was retrofitted with window units which made it hard to get cool enough after a hot day outside. The toiletries were nice, the view was good and the location was convenient. They did have a social hour which was good. Their breakfast was okay. Not a lot of choice offered and the person working that day was a bit grumpy. I’d recommend during the heat of the summer trying to stay on a lower floor.
