Great location near Independence Mall. You park your car in a parking garage a couple of blocks from the hotel, which requires a key card from the front desk. Staff is super accommodating about letting you hang onto the card after you check out if you’re sightseeing!

Brilliant Staff

Debbie and Gwen from hospitality were brilliant in courtesy and care of our room during our stay. The front desk staff were all informed, efficient and kind. The atrium staff handling the breakfast was so kind and on the spot for keeping tables clean and prepared for all the hotel guests. So, overall, the people at this hotel really make the experience a step above the others we stayed at in the area of Old City. Some of the building features are old, being a historic hotel, but no seeming fan presence in the room bathroom was easy to overlook with everything else being seemless.

I had a few issues with the front desk- you advertise cookies, and he did open a tin, and put them out, but at the cost, they definitely could have been better. Also the people working there, couldn’t answer any questions. They should be better versed in the area.

This was a great experience. It is really a boutique hotel, with top service. The room was so comfortable and clean. It’s an historic site, but has been nicely renovated. And the breakfast was great. I would def stay here again. . The surrounding area makes it great to access some important landmarks in Philly.
