One of very favorite places to stay in Philadelphia. A little noisy this time—doors slamming shut at intervals during the night. We don’t remember this happening in the past but it was very disturbing to our sleep. The staff is great, beds very comfortable + rooms clean!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From worn out carpets that looked like the seats on a first generation Southwest Airlines jet to flimsy hardware and samurai sword stiff towels this place was remarkably terrible and overpriced. Perhaps most importantly, this place shows up on several top hotels in Philadelphia lists which goes to show that spots those lists are simply purchased by hotels and hotel chains..
