Comfortable penthouse - fantastic views
Suite 902 was perfect for our stay - and close to great bars and clubs. Access to 9th floor is funky - but worth it (might be tough with BIG luggage). Would definitely book again - if returning to Philly.

A great stay
A great spot in the Spring Garden neighborhood. It’s a transitional neighborhood with a true urban mixture of types of architecture and people. It was perfect for my stay. We were attending a concert just one block away! The building was great and our unit was spectacular. On site parking was perfect. We plan to return!
