Nice property, room small but nice and quiet. Restaurants and bar options good. Immediate area a little tacky, but larger area in Center City nice. Only disappointment was a call to front desk and then hotel services to ask for a blanket. No response on phone from either, and never a callback. Can’t ever recall that happening at a hotel. Need to work on staff.

Great location but terrible Housekeeping

The location was excellent and the room was perfect for my Son on our first trip to Philadelphia. But the Housekeeping was abysmal, no one cleaned or removed the garbage for the three nights we stayed. On out last night a housekeeper knocked on my door, I told her we were just leaving to go to the Phillies game and she can clean the room and take the garbage out, she told me she had no time for this. Terrible service!

So many small things that add up to a very disappointing stay. The pillows were terrible, 2 felt like they were full of balled up socks they were so lumpy and the other 2 were underfilled. The towels in the bathroom were frayed like they’ve been in use since the first Hilton opened its doors. The hot water handle in the bathroom was corroded so stiff it was difficult to turn on the hot water. The stopper in the sink wouldn’t come up and would fall back down under the pressure of the water so the sink would fill. The shower curtain wasn’t long enough so water splashed into the rest of the bathroom. The air conditioning was so loud it sounded like sleeping under the wing of an airplane, and the mini fridge in the room was loud enough to be heard over the A/C

The hotel is located in the center of the city so that is great, your within walking distance to restaurants, bussing if needed. They do not offer parking. Our room was so small the bathroom was right next to the bed, with a glass door. I did not like this.

The toilet bowl is so new and it’s Toto brand, even better than the ones at Palazzo Vegas! The biggest thing for me is the toilet must be clean especially the bowl because I cannot go if it’s nasty. The shampoo and conditioner are the best. Since they’re plant based, they are minty which made my scalp feel minty, clean, and fresh especially the conditioner made my hair feel so soft. I’ve dyed my hair for years so my hair is very dry and dead but this BASD conditioner really made the difference. The room is small but very cozy & clean. The valet parking is right across the hotel. It shares with Enterprise but it has nothing to do with Enterprise. There’s another parking struture about 50 yards away but according to the hotel staff, the one across the street is easier to access, so I chose it without further asking what she meant by easier. Cost me $50 because I wanted to go in & out a few times. They’re always availble anytime you need your car. If you just come park then next day get out never come back then it costs $47. There are many closed by street parking but only from 2-3 hrs max. Can’t do all night. Plus I feel safer when the rental car is in the parking. Pricey but worry free. Oh I also saw the sign that they accept SpotHero. Target and CVS are like 50 yards away so you can get most of the things you need. My teen son forgot to bring his undies so I got them for him at Target, not pricey at all. There are also a few nail salons around the block. Hope this helps.
