Beautiful hotel. Prime location. Convenient. Everything was walkable. There were just 2 adults in our party. With the “VIP” from Expedia - The hotel gave us 2 breakfast “vouchers”. That was actually equivalent to 4 entrees. They have a free coffee bar in the lobby, both iced and hot options available. The room was clean, bathroom clean, shower clean- very nice. They have a large closet with several hangers, an iron, a safe, a refrigerator. The TV worked well, no issues with anything within the room. It wasn’t 100% quiet, we heard the occasional door slam but the room doors were heavy, so I’m not surprised. We had a song machine with us and it blocked out any noise while we slept, we didn’t hear a thing. We stayed for 2 nights. The staff was friendly. The hotel restaurant was great for breakfast, we didn’t have any other meals there. They have a nice fitness center on the 4th floor with updated equipment. Only negatives, if you would even call them that, is that there is only 1 ice machine- on the 4th floor in the fitness area. AND there were only 3 elevators that seemed to work out of the 4 they have. With 24 floors, sometimes the wait for an elevator was long (up to maybe 3-5 minutes). And they are smaller elevators, so you might not even get the first one that comes. That was the only true negative. Other than that, we have an EXCELLENT stay and hope to go back again one day.

Always spot on

Made a quick run up to Philadelphia with my wife to celebrate the life of a family member lost to cancer and it fell on the same day as our anniversary. Kimpton had a bottle of champagne and chocolate strawberries waiting for us along with a card congratulating us on 13 wonderful years. Whether booking direct or through another platform, they’re always spot on.

Two nights and two rooms. First one wouldn’t cool down with AC cranked all the way. Loud room over the lobby area by the garbage 6am pickup alley. Switched the next day and it was better but not what I’ve experienced there the last 4-5 stays.
