“A convenient and comfortable place to stay in Philadelphia”
This was a pleasant hotel and is very well located in Philadelphia. The beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was a nice, varied continental buffet. There were plenty of restaurants in the immediate area. There was water and coffee in both the room and in the lobby.

Room was a good size and really good looking. The outside of the hotel is also very pretty. Location of the hotel was pretty good. The continental breakfast (when served) was good. The garage they recommend for parking was very friendly and easy to find.

“Great location, nice staff trying their best to resolve issues, but a good sleep is hard to come by.”
Charming old building, staff and manager tries their best. Some tasteful design choices all around, good ammenities, and locations is really central. There were several issues, and the staff tried their best to remedy, even offering a partial refund.

The hotel was in a brilliant location with plenty of places to eat, drink and shop nearby. A lot of attractions within walking distance and public transport just a block away for everything else. The staff could not have been more friendly and the hotel was clean, well kept and felt very secure.

The location was wonderful and many places were easily walkable. The restaurants in the area were plentiful as well and that was a great bonus. I also liked the Molten Brown products in the bathroom.
