Lovely area. Nice Hotel. The AC was not working well so they gave us a discount. Lovely staff.

Excellent Amazing personal Service Friendly staff Gorgeous rooms. Well appointed

Great Hotel .one of our favorites but difficult to reach now because of local construction on chestnut street .

We had an awesome stay and the hotel was excellent.

Great location. Professional staff. Lux and comfort! Room was very clean and showers were relaxing. Spa and swimming pool great for kids and adults.

The trip was for business. And the exsperience was wonderful

Toilet ran every five minutes. Shower drain clogged. Noisy AC unit. Room nice but dated.

Everything about my stay there was perfect. I checked in and out during early morning hours, and they were just as friendly and cheerful as they were during the middle of the day. The doormen and concierge were always fantastic with great recommendations. I was in town to visit my sister who is hiking the AT and when I picked her up I ended up bringing 4 more of her hikers friends back with us to the hotel. The hotel never blinked an eye and even let us check them in early to another room and sent up extra towels without being asked. One evening we left the room messy thanks to all the hikers taking showers and what not and when we came back from dinner the hotel room was immaculate. This is truly a luxury hotel and while it is expensive in some eyes, it is worth every last penny. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Philadelphia!

Great hotel with a friendly staff and a great location. Spacious rooms, lots of perks. Wish my stay was longer.
