Good stay. We got there a bit early. Room was ready but they still charged an early entrance fee. I’ve never seen that when not asking in advance (it was same day when we got there). Was a cash grab which made things sour at the start.

The check in process was very easy. The room was very clean and nice. The staff is very friendly and it is a beautiful hotel. I was there for a family/friend gathering. Here are my issues with the place. I was told on check in that I had a $20.00 credit for each room per night for food or drink. My son and I went the first night and had food and drink and charged to our room. Upon checkout, there were no credits. The shower in our room didn't drain properly. My son the second day ordered Coconut Ice cream and got a huge chunk of cream cheese- ugh! Also after ordering a drink called Foreign Exchanged and tasting it, my son asked if the bartender put in all the alcohol and he said it came premixed. Maybe that should be on the menu. This was after he served him the wrong drink. Also the second night the AC didn't work very well in our room. For what I paid and what I expected, not rated highly in my places to come back to.

The property is amazing and location is just great! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was the mattress was super uncomfortable. Slept poorly and woke up with back pains each morning.

The accommodation was spacious for myself and family. The location is excellent. There are multiple dining options in walking distance and the hotel is in the heart of the city. The happy hour at the bar was also a pleasant experience with personable staff. I would totally stay here again next time in Philly.

This hotel needs an upgrade

I booked a double double room for my son and myself and they gave me a mini suite with a very uncomfortable pull out couch. Tv reception was bad Mattress was weird. The room was very dark with small windows facing a very narrow street.
