Great location

My second time staying at this location. Beds are amazing. Very clean and a great location!
Heather, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay

Stay was great, a few small items would have made it even better: coffee stirrers, tea, throw blanket and pillows for the couch.
Liz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Safe place to stay

The building was safe. The space was nice for 2 parents and a daughter. It was misleading on the site. It looked more divided. It was not. The TV did not work

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.

Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jenna, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!).

Miguel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 location and great hotel :)
Bobbie, 2-night trip

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.

6/10 Good

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.
