Renovated-modern but small room Staff was calling at check-time for us to leave and knocking on door at 2 minutes after check-in as we were about to leave...beware of staff monitoring your check-out time to the minute, not the most customer friendly feature when your packing-up

Great hotel, room was clean, bathroom was spotless, it had a min fridge and small microwave hotel was quiet .Right across the street from the trolley system that leads into Philly and the outskirts of Philly which is very convenient, walking distance from a Wawa. Very friendly staff definitely would book here again next time I come to Philadelphia

We requested a non-smoking room, but the room we received had a definite smoke smell plus cleaner smell. Front desk guy lied and said that it was their air freshener scent. He wouldn't assign us to another room because according to him the hotel was at max capacity. Don't be fooled by the good ratings, this hotel should be a 5 out of 10. You get what you pay for.
