I booked this hotel because of the central location and because I often stay in Choice Hotels so I only paid for half of my three night stay. The rest was paid in points. I probably wouldn't have stayed had the hotel not been one and a half blocks from the hotel where most of the guests of the wedding... More

This place was a great value for the location. It is very convenient for exploring Center City Philly on foot. Hotel is in old building but is being nicely updated and was clean. Room and bathroom were small by American standards but suited us fine for 3 nights of resting tired feet. Our room was in the back of the... More

Coming from out of town to the Wills Eye Institute, this hotel was closest. Upon arriving late that night by taxi, we were unsure we had actually arrived at our hotel because there was no signage out front. We discovered this had to do with renovations in progress. The lobby was in great shape except for the front desk which... More

Proper room in central location. Clean bed and sheets. Verry dark room, hardly any daylight. Electricity coming out of the wall. Terrible bathroom. Sink and toilet from 30?? years ago. Good: enough towels, coffee maker and iron. I would not recommand this to anyone.

This hotel is in an awesome location and I'm definitely digging the renovations. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful too! Our room was clean and cosy. The only problem I really had was the sound issues. There was a vent above the room door leading towards the hallway, so anything happening in the room could be heard... More

We stayed here overnight for a wedding in center city. We were in a very small, minimally appointed (but comfortable and clean) front room with windows over Walnut street. The only bad thing was the noise; the windows did not close right or needed better insulation or something, because there was a ruckus going on outside at 2 in the... More

The room was nice except there were no towel racks in the bathroom or anywhere else. Since there was remodeling going on, I would suggest the hotel take out the useless bathroom window with the ugly curtain and make a wall there with a towel rack. The WiFi did not work at all. We were on the 3rd floor and... More

After few hours the AC does not work by then is midnight, there are no other rooms to assign to us so we have to wait till the next day. On the next day we were given a... More
