I booked this hotel based off the pictures i was expecting a stand up shower but once i arrived i had a tub and was told the stand up shower only comes with the suites, i was also expecting a nice city view but instead had to look at the back of a tall building. The pictures of the room i selected we very misleading had i known that was the room i would end up with i wouldve picked a different hotel.

It was quick & instructions were clear. I believe the receptionist was wearing gloves , so I could presume not sanitizingjis hands in between customers.

Well it started at check in, I was assigned a room who was already preoccupied. Went up the the 19th floor and key card is not working, tried calling the front desk no one is picking up. Finally I was ready to head down the elevator when a cleaning staff saw me and offered to open the door so I can at least drop my suitcases in. That’s when we saw the room was already preoccupied by another guest. Myself and the staff member Went back downstairs to rectify the issue. They assigned me a different room which wasn’t occupied.

I apologize that we made such a serious error at the time of your check-in, and I trust that we quickly rectified the issue. This rarely happens, and I suspect that we mad keys for the wrong room, as opposed to actually checking you in to an occupied room in our system. Your review does not touch on the other aspects of your stay, but I trust that once our initial error was corrected, the remainder of your experience was far better. I hope you will plan to give us a chance to deliver a far better experience the next time you visit Center City Philly!

The location was so close to anything you need restaurants, shops, sightseeing and you could see the city hall from the front entrance of the hotel. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Would definitely go back to this hotel.
