STAY AWAY!!!!

Overpriced...was supposed to get adjoining rooms but was put in two separate handicapped rooms on 3rd floor -- one next to the elevators and one next to the gym!!! The noise was horrible, the room was vibrating when people would run on the treadmill, we would hear a big boom everytime someone dropped a weight on the floor. The rooms were extremely small, the bathrooms were molding and dirty. Huge dusty TVs. NOT worth a quarter of what I paid. Hotel wants to put 25,000 Reward Points in a Priority Club Rewards member account for me. No other compensation whatsoever. They can keep their points I would NEVER stay again!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice, but noisy

The hotel was nice; however, my room was across from a fire station. This made for some noisy nights during my stay. I found the on-site restaurant to be overpriced; however, the staff directed me to some great restaurants in the area.

Good place to stay!

The location is very good for tourist to go sightseeing. Room is big, and mattress is comfortable. In the description I think I saw ' limited parking based on first come, first serve', but when we were there we were told 25 dollars per night. That's why it doesn't get a full mark.

Good Location for the price

Good location and good sized room. Close to many historic sites, bars, and restaurants. Would have been nice to have a microwave and/or fridge, but otherwise a great spot!

Can't beat the location

You can't beat the location of this hotel, and the price was ultra-competitive, too. The bed was comfy, and the furniture and bathroom were updated. The room should some wear and tear, but nothing that wasn't expected.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Everything that you want to see in the historic district is 2 blocks away. Go get your tickets to independence hall first (8:30), then work your way back to the hotel.
