Clean, good location, delicious breakfast

Clean hotel and friendly staff, delicious hot breakfast, and great location in a quiet part of the city close to UPenn. 7 Eleven right next door and plenty of food options and grocery stores. Room showed signs of wear and tear and bed is too soft (not medium firm like most Hilton rooms are) , freezer/fridge is too loud. But room was clean. Pool is small so not really good for swimming, just for hanging out and the water temperature was way too cold. Also they allowed people who were not guests at the hotel to use the pool (who had family staying at the hotel) resulting in a big family pool party and took up the entire space so we could not enjoy the pool much. The pool and hot tub water did not seem clean. Pool bathroom was dirty (perhaps because of the party people).
