Property was being renovated, although workers and hotel staff tried to minimize any inconvenience for guests as much as practical. Check-in was lengthy due to this, but we were offered bottled water while waiting which was appreciated. Staff were polite and professional. The hotel was in a great location for our purpose when visiting. This was my second stay, and we were not disappointed even while renovations were in place.

Great location

2 night stay. Nice room overlooking the river. Clean & comfortable. Had an issue with the toilet which was a problem throughout the stay. Super convenient to Penns Landing, and many other attractions, with safe and walkable/runable sidewalks. Complementary breakfast offered plenty of hot & cold items, tho the pancake machine was out of order. The only issue was the traffic noise. All night. The hotel sits right on the interstate, the bridge to NJ, and the surface street. Wife had no problems, but as a light sleeper, i got very little little sleep. Overall a nice stay, and would absolutely stay again, tho I'd bring earplugs next time.

Hotel was easy to get to from highway with plenty of parking. Check in was quick. Beds were comfortable. Free breakfast had plenty of variety. Was disappointed with the lack of restaurants at Penns Landing. Front desk clerk made it seem like there were many options along the waterfront and directed us to walk in a direction with little walkable options. Didn’t realize that it is under major multi-year construction project to build a park. Other than that it was a good place to rest for 1 night in Philly.
