Great for a quick stay
The hotel is located next to everything I needed. Stayed for the Philadelphia marathon and it was just a mile walk to the start line! Sound proofing isn’t the best in the rooms- I could clearly hear conversations in the hall, my neighbor coughing, etc but it was clean and comfortable for what I needed.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Towels were dirty, the cleaning lady came in to clean and rearranged all our belongings which I did not apricate and we ran out of body wash during our stay and it was never replaced.

It was quaint and just what I needed. Walked to all the places, if you aren’t using in and out privileges parking is slightly cheaper but there is also another parking lot with self parking 24 hour parking as well. Hotel was clean, rooms were small but great, bed was comfy. I’d stay here again.

Don’t stay here
Scalding hot water was all I could get in the room even after reporting the problem. Front desk staff were helpful and pleasant but a couple of the Bartenders were rude and arrogant. There was no luggage rack and no extra blanket for a bed that pretty much just had sheets on it. No microwave, coffeemaker or tea either. The remote for the TV didn’t work. Functionally, the room was a disaster. Though the cleaning team was stellar.
