Things we liked: 1) Location - this hotel is in a neighborhood environment within the mid-town / Center City area and is within walking distance of restaurants, Independance Hall and other local attractions. The Philadelphia MoA, the waterfront and University City are all a relatively short Uber or subway ride away - maybe 15-20 minutes. 2) The room itself was OK. It was reasonably clean and neat and modern. Things we didn't like: 1) This hotel is in an area with an active night life. While our hotel neighbors were quiet, there was quite a bit of street noise in the way of cars playing loud music and what not.

Great, secure location - accessible to all of Philly! No staff on site and no vending which was ok as many shops nearby. Enjoyed the stay!

The location was perfect. To be in a popular busy neighborhood the room was exceptionally quiet.

The property was very clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative i found was minor and that was the soap in the bathroom was a tiny bottle instead of a bar and it took a long time for hot water in the shower. Very minor. Overall a pleasant stay.
