Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly. Room was clean but did not have a window that opens and smelled like air freshener. Some wallpaper and the bathroom ceiling showed the building's age. They charge a $20/day fee and give a $10 credit that can only be spent at the in-house Arts Café (not a true café). No room service, as far as I could tell. It's nice but not exactly affordable for what it is. Centrally located, close to SEPTA stops.

Just Meh

I was looking for parking and was told I was in the wrong spot, but I was actually in the right place. The hotel feels outdated to me, and the rooms are just okay. The first room I got was missing an entire fridge. I was moved to another room, which was better, but the overall feel was still very outdated. I won’t stay again.

The itself was fine. The heat didn’t work for our entire 3 day stay. Someone came to the room to service it, but it still didn’t work. And there was no microwave in the room. The charge for parking was absurd.
