nice and CLEAN

Most importantly, the room was REALLY CLEAN.. very nice staff. Room was very small, but we didn't go to Philly to stay in the room anyway! so it was ok. Wish the bathroom was bigger. Iron, small fridge & small safe all in the room- very nice. the only problem was hot showers- or lack therof. I ran the water for 30 minutes one morning but still barely warm. overall we liked it, though. teeeny sign that says "hotel," pretty much guarantees you'll pass it at first. but it's worth turning around for.

Quaint,clean, A little hard to find at first.

A 36 room independent hotel in historic neighborhood. Even though an old building it is semi-modernized without classic old character. Complimentary waffle breakfast. Exterior renovations in progress at the front made it difficult to initially find the hotel. No signage or street number readily visible. And as you approach from parking in back, side door is a little obscure but once there, now I know and will visit again more easily. Nice bar/grill attached and normal amenities like exercise room.

Nice and convenient

This is a nice old hotel (140 years old!) and has lots of charm. The rooms were small, but very clean and comfortable - nice big flat screen TV, wireless and complimentary breakfast. The hotel seemed a bit short staffed - the front desk is literally a desk/podium and the staff often help out in the restaurant while also trying to tend to the front desk. For this reason it was hard to find anyone to talk to to ask for restaurant suggestions, directions, etc. High marks for the restaurant - nice outdoor seating and good food for a reasonable price. All in all would highly recommend - and the location is wonderful.

Good location

We had to ask for another room because the bed was too uncomfortable. This seemed like a bother to staff. No amenities. We were on the 4th floor with no air conditioning in the hallways. The elevator broke down before our last nights stay so we decided not stay the last night. We saw roaches in the lobby and a rodent in the restaurant. It was a high price to pay for only adequate lodging.
