The hotel was Very clean, very friendly staff, great breakfast, good location. The lobby was newly redone with beautiful wood floors. Only concern is access to floors was supposed to be by card key but doors were not locked.

We spent 5 nights in this hotel on our first visit to Philadelphia and we were not disappointed in any way. The location is ideal for visiting the many historic sites with the visitor's centre only a 5/6 minute walk away. The hotel building itself is on the US National Registry of Historic Places. Our room, on the fourth floor,... More

This is a nice, small hotel in the historic district of Philadelphia. Even though they were going through a lobby remodel, the rooms were very nice and the staff was excellent. The continental breakfast was very good. The only thing that would have made the stay better was if there were two people working the front desk. One person was... More

Everyone kept apologizing for the lobby remodel. Didn't matter, although the lobby looks like it is going to be quite nice. Down a short flight of stairs was plenty of room and everything that one would have expected in the lobby. Cookies in the evening and a good breakfast in the morning was a nice addition. Staff was helpful. Room... More

Great location for historical sites, good restaurants and a direct (free for seniors) bus line to the Barnes Institute (museum), which is awesome. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast good. Room smallish but comfortable.
