Great authentic hotel in historic Phili

Great authentic hotel. Ask for a room at the back as traffic noise from I95 is constant at the front. No breakfast. Comfy room with great shower and whirlpool bath. Bins for recycling would be helpful.

Good location near SEPTA. However, the staff wasn't amazing. I waited 15 minutes to check in because they were more concerned with whoever was on the phone than with the customer standing right in front of them. Also, they told me they had coffee and muffins until a certain time, I arrived before that time, and everything was gone. That was frustrating. Otherwise, its sufficient, but I won't be staying here again.

Penn's View Hotel might be worth a look.

The hotel is old and small. The lobby is quite small. There is only one elevator. Room keys are actual keys. If you keep the age in mind, it has charm. The staff is excellent and the restaurant and bar are surprisingly good. It is not in the best of neighborhoods and the traffic noises can be bothersome. The neighborhood shows signs of improvement. Some of the architecture is lovely. Bathrooms are not easy for anyone with mobility issues.

Historic details

Hotel location is right near freeway but it is still in a beautiful, historic area—just on the edge of it. Hotel is wonderfully quirky. Bar is great with really nice cocktails. Our room had many historic touches including a gorgeous old brick wall. Staff were excellent.

The on-site restaurant and bar saved our trip. The room was stated to have a Juliette balcony which was nothing more than a shotty door standing over the parking lot that was sketchy in safety structure. Upon arrive I knew we would not be getting the “lit bridge view as we were in the second floor. Because we booked through a third party they were not willing to move the room.

By all means stay here!

What a warm and welcoming hotel! Location is wonderful - we walked to Chinatown and passed a lot of historical sites. Room comfortable and quiet. Bathroom clean and water pressure great. I would definitely stay here again. Everyone at the reception desk goes out of their way from giving directions and lending chargers to asking us about our evening when we returned.
