Excellent location for enjoying Philly
Pros:

Enjoyed a very nice three-night stay while touring historical sites and also attending a Phillies’ baseball game. Excellent location for walking to many sites, and the subway is right there for longer journeys. There are many restaurants of all kinds within walking distance, (including Cleaver’s where you can get amazing authentic Philly cheesesteaks!) The hotel was clean, and staff were super friendly and helpful. (Our mini-fridge wasn’t working upon arrival, and they fixed it immediately.) Free breakfast was plentiful and helpful. On-site parking was also a plus. I deducted one star because the air conditioning unit in our room was so loud, and that became annoying over time. All in all, a great stay. We would definitely return, and highly recommend.

Great place to stay
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect for exploring the city, making it easy to get around to all the top spots. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our visit.What really stood out, though, was the staff—everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. On top of that, the hotel offers great value for the price. We will definitely choose to stay here again the next time we visit the area!If

My 2 cents worth
Pros:

I had to travel to Philly for an appointment at the wills eye hospital, I was at the hotel from Sunday July 19th- July 21 . I must say the front desk crew was awesome! Sean, Solomon, and Ari went out of their way to make my stay pleasant! And Charles, who is security is definitely the right man for the job .There was a sweet lady from England that was also working the front desk but I didn't get her name, sweet lady! And the staff on Tuesday when I checked out was quite gracious to this rambling ole North Carolina wonan Room was nice, clean, and comfortable., no issues. Having said that, let me point out things I feel need addressed. The furniture in the lobby needs to be cleaned, the dirt is obvious., and a little more care towards the tiny crevices where USB ports are The front desk is cluttered with too many things that the hotel wants to make guests aware of, a clean and open front desk area is more inviting . It makes it crowded for the guests and the staff to take care of business- and yes, I know that people are more inclined to simply ask the staff as opposed to reading all those placards. Make a designated area for tourist information such as tourist attractions/information. Also some menus available from restaurants that deliver.. I know this information is available in different areas on web sites but people are usually tired when they check in or have been out for the day and want easy access to local information. In my opinion, a perfect location for these items is underneath the television across from the front desk, I would also include locations of ice and vending(a placard on the wall where the elevators are located). I am a seasoned traveler, my late husband and I traveled frequently due to his obligations in an organization he belonged too ( the Fraternal Order of Police). But over all the hotel was worth the stay! I enjoyed the stay and if I have to return I will choose to stay again!

Pros:

Heerlijk om na een dag in de stad in het zwembad te kunnen afkoelen.

Cons:

Kamers zijn erg gehorig. Wij hadden naast ons een kamer waar van alles de hele nacht door gebeurde…

Friendly, helpful and welcoming!
Pros:

Antonio, Miss Cat and the rest of the breakfast crew were very friendly and helpful. The food was really good and they were constantly restocking it. If you needed something they were quick to get it for you.
Gail in housekeeping was also very attentive to our needs. She was quick to restock our towels and thoughtful to ask if our room needed refreshed every day.
The front desk crew was cheerful and helpful upon check in after midnight. We felt very welcome.
