The Study @ University City in Philadelphia PA was just fantastic!! The bite itself was clean, the rooms were clean and the Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant at the hotel was also awesome. The area outside of the hotel was also clean and safe. Nice area to go for a walk during the day or evening. Just an Uber drive away from down town and you can enjoy the historic town of Philadelphia. Everything and everyone was just great!

It was lovely. But because my son was feeling under the weather and I had to bring food and drink to the room, I would have appreciated a small microwave (I couldn’t warm that cup of chicken soup!) or a coffee maker for me. The staff was super-helpful.

The staff was amazing and very friendly. I was in the area to attend a WWE event and the staff recommended that I take the train. Knowing it was my first time (alone with many others attending the same event) they took the time to print instructions to and from the event. The room was very cozy and quiet. Would definitely go again if I’m in the area.
