Good location near SEPTA. However, the staff wasn't amazing. I waited 15 minutes to check in because they were more concerned with whoever was on the phone than with the customer standing right in front of them. Also, they told me they had coffee and muffins until a certain time, I arrived before that time, and everything was gone. That was frustrating. Otherwise, its sufficient, but I won't be staying here again.

Penn's View Hotel might be worth a look.

The hotel is old and small. The lobby is quite small. There is only one elevator. Room keys are actual keys. If you keep the age in mind, it has charm. The staff is excellent and the restaurant and bar are surprisingly good. It is not in the best of neighborhoods and the traffic noises can be bothersome. The neighborhood shows signs of improvement. Some of the architecture is lovely. Bathrooms are not easy for anyone with mobility issues.

Historic details

Hotel location is right near freeway but it is still in a beautiful, historic area—just on the edge of it. Hotel is wonderfully quirky. Bar is great with really nice cocktails. Our room had many historic touches including a gorgeous old brick wall. Staff were excellent.

The on-site restaurant and bar saved our trip. The room was stated to have a Juliette balcony which was nothing more than a shotty door standing over the parking lot that was sketchy in safety structure. Upon arrive I knew we would not be getting the “lit bridge view as we were in the second floor. Because we booked through a third party they were not willing to move the room.

The room was clean and comfortable. My room wasn’t ready at check-in The breakfast was only coffee and sugar laden muffins The freeway nearby was noisy at night. The Venetian blinds let in a lot of light. There should be block out curtains.

By all means stay here!

What a warm and welcoming hotel! Location is wonderful - we walked to Chinatown and passed a lot of historical sites. Room comfortable and quiet. Bathroom clean and water pressure great. I would definitely stay here again. Everyone at the reception desk goes out of their way from giving directions and lending chargers to asking us about our evening when we returned.

There was no fridge in the room. I got a coupon to order from the Italian restaurant but they would not honor it because I wanted to take my food to my room. 😏 I had a long trip there and was not appropriately dressed to sit down in a restaurant.

Nicest place I’ve stayed in a long time!

I cannot wait to go back! First, parking is right next to the hotel. Second, you get an actual key on a cool gold plated key ring. The rooms are so unique. The bathroom is wonderful! The tiny balcony is adorable! Super clean! In waking distance of historic Philly, all great restaurants, and bars. Quick Uber ride to all the Philly sports. Will go there again!
