Great Spot on Locust Street

The stay was great, hotel room was in good condition and entering / exiting the building was accessible. Hotel is in a good location for local eats and transportation.

Good overall. Hot water issue

Overall quite good place. Have stayed here often. Only downside this time was there there was no cold water in shower one day (which is a real problem in January!).

Everything was great, the area was great, it was EXTREMELY loud outside but we stayed over a weekend. On Sunday it was great, and I think a weeknight stay would be perfect here.

Parking can be a little dicey but no worse than any otherplace in the city. Room was lovely, very clean, staff was kind & helpful. Overall, we would happily stay here again.

Great place to stay near the historical town!

8/10 Very good

Good hotel, good location

Good location, short walk to Rittenhouse Square and Chinatown. Lock code worked fine. There was a dripping sound in the bathroom ceiling ( no water, but evidence of rust) and nobody is available on Sunday to take the complaint. Not a big deal because there was no water dripping. It will not impact a return stay.

This place is like if Temu was a hotel. It's very convenient to downtown Philly and the app works well. But don't expect niceties like working coffee machines or hot water in the shower.

2/10 Poor

Not a good first impression

We spoke with an agent on the phone the day of check out to confirm the reservation. We received a text saying we will receive directions within three days of our stay even though it was the day of check in and we never received any directions. We could not access our hotel room until the morning of check out.
