Integrity & Kindness alive in Philadelphia
Pros:

Left expensive jewelry in room. Checked out and 2 days later realized it.
The staff recovered the jewelry and were so kind in the process.

Convenient with a parking garage attached which was great
Pros:

Just a few blocks away from our friends condominium in downtown Philadelphia so that was great

Cons:

A little further away from the park, then we would’ve liked because we had our dog and had to walk her in the morning

I PAID, I stayed, I left dismayed..

Cons:

Date of reservation: 8/21 to 8/24
Room#: Suite 2404
Google Review will have photos and video

1.) The room linen was not clean: weird stains on bed sheets.

2.) The shower was not clean: had a patch of hair on the soap rack, it was moldy, any had a hole in its ceiling, and an unecessary sharp corner to cut yourself on.

3.) Fine layer of dust on tissue-box covers.

4.) Room lights were not on wall switches: had to go to each individual lamp to turn lights on or off.

5.) The refrigerator was was warmer than my cooler!

6.) The TV channels selection, was limited to the point of being terrible.

7.) The valet service was ab-so-lutely awful: we waited over 45min for our car to be brought out, the valet attendants smoke cigarettes right in front of the hotel door!, parking is not free ($50 per day).

8.) The pool is NOT heated and the hours of operation are limited to 8pm. You will not get a chill adult swim with kids splashing all over the pool.
