I was travelling for business, and I quickly realized that I had made a wrong decision, because the hotel was buzzing with young tourists (it's Summer break for schools). One of the nights I had to call the concierge because my neighbors were singing, shouting and laughing loudly, at 2:30 am. The concierge took immediate action. The AC was very noisy, every time it turned on, it interrupted my sleep. So much, that I had to turn it off so I could sleep, even though it was a very bad heat wave in Philadelphia the days of my stay.

The staff was super nice. They went above and beyond! The price was terrific. Way better than other hotels in that area. Super convenient to many attractions like museums. The room was pretty much fine! The only issues: I was near the elevator and all night I heard it going up and down. There was a big clump of hair and mop strings on the bathroom floor. When I complained they threw some points my way! There was also duct tape on the ceiling. Maybe there had been a leak? No big deal. I'm happy with my stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Very tiny room (twin bunkbeds), almost claustrophobic for two people, ceiling was cement/incomplete, previous guest had set alarm clock and turnover staff did not reset so we had a rude awakening. In my opinion, I should not have to check the room alarm, especially in a day where most people use their phones as an alarm. No major amenities for the cost. TV signal was spotty. Would not stay here again.

The room had hair and other items on bed and floor. One bath towel had more hair on my initial stay. The water was off in my room for many hours my second night. On checkout day, room service started to enter my room while I exited the shower. The hotel was very noisy. I doubt I would stay here again.
