Great location, it was in a walkable are of the city but also a decent Lyft price to some popular Philly locations. Nice rooms. Appreciated the hand wash and hand lotion in the loo. The shower body wash was drying, consider bringing your own. Great staff. Very responsive and kind. Highly recommend.

The stay was great, the front desk was great the only downside was there was an issue with the app… I double checked my dates and it still booked the wrong dates. I didn’t find out until I got the notification about my trip. Hotels.com tried to help unfortunately management wouldn’t refund or even do a partial one. I double checked the dates when I chose them, I guess I need to make sure hotels.com doesn’t change them back

I was excited to stay at this hotel as the pictures and most reviews seemed good. Check in was terrible . We waited over and hour with a lot of people crowded in the lobby. Once getting up to our room we were getting showers and found a hair ball from the previous people who were staying there . The room did not smell clean , and we found like black paint or something on our covers . The property is in a good location , but I willl not be back .
