Kind of pricey for a basic room, but it was a festival weekend. Clean, modern room. Odd lighting. No outlets on one side of the king sized bed, so two CPAP users like us had problems. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is conveniently located to many sites. Philadelphia is very walkable. The neighborhood is safe and clean. The lobby is drab and in need of an update. Some of the front desk staff seemed very uninterested in their job.

My husband was a patient at Penn. It was an extremely difficult time for us. Whenever I was informed that he needed to stay an additional day, the staff graciously accommodated me. For that, I will always be grateful. I didn't have to switch rooms; they allowed me to stay in the original room that I had booked. Thank you again for making a difficult time more manageable.

Hotel is ideally situated downtown center city. The hotel is in an elegant building that looks like a a 5star hotel from the outside. I was not disappointed when I entered. The decor is modern with a hipster edge. Great colors and furniture. It really could have been an artists’ or designer’s living room. Loved everything about the room, very comfortable mattress and pillows. Beautifully outfitted and spacious bathroom. I especially like the color schemes in the roo

Comfort and value!

The room had the things I value in a hotel: it was clean, the bed was comfortable, it was quiet, and the water pressure was good. The location was great and very walkable. Best part was the staff—every person I encountered was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I’d definitely stay here again!
