We loved our river-facing room with the cozy fireplace. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to all of the historical sites. When we went to the center city it was just s short Uber ride. We had a fabulous meal at the restaurant one night,and there were many casual restaurants to choose from. It was fun to read the history of the building that made kit a registered historical site. Perfect stay for our first-time Philadelphia visit.

Room was small but clean and well appointed. Hallways were a little tricky with a bunch of up and down steps. Security was a little lax and doors used old style metal keys. The only problem I had was a cockroach in the entry to my room.
