"We stayed here in May of 2026 and had a great time. The property has excellent security but not too "in your face." The room was very clean, the water pressure perfect, and the beds are extremely comfortable. There are two restaurants at the hotel, an Irish pub and one serving Asian cuisine, both very good. (There is also small Target and a large Whole Foods Market that are about a 7 or 8 minutes walk away if you feel like cooking or just want to stock up on snacks.) And of course there other restaurants in walking distance. Speaking of the neighborhood - hotel is at the beginning of the museum district, you can walk to the Ben Franklin Institute, the Rodin Museum, the Barnes Collection, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the main branch of the library which is like a museum. All are dazzling - actually a little overwhelming! Back to the hotel be sure to check out the rooftop pool and terrace, we got some beautiful photos and found it a peaceful way to end the day. Most of all a shout out to the staff. From the greeting when we drove up to the man who assisted us in packing the car as we left everyone was friendly and professional. The restaurant servers were helpful and knowledgeable. There were a few minor issues in our room that Engineering immediately fixed. The front desk staff was friendly, patient with our questions, and in general went above and beyond for us. Thanks to all for a great stay in a great city."

"Love it"

"Great location, no frills hotel. If you’re not looking to spend a lot of time in the room other than sleeping and washing then this is an ideal place. Right in the heart of the city near everything. The location makes this place."

"Check in staff was wonderful, and Matthew in particular was a wealth of information when we needed help the second night. And a delight to visit with. However, we tried to eat on the 19th floor the first night and service was very poor and the second day my room was never cleaned. Friendly staff, but a mixed bag on results. "
