Tremendous value and location. Would stay again if needed.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Walkable to Independence Hall and other great sites.

Cons:

Parking was expensive ($44) but that’s just reality in many major American city hotels.

Clean place to stay
Pros:

Everyone was very nice, great location, and the room was very clean.

Cons:

They don't tell you on the website paking is $45 a day. Depending on your stay it was cheaper for me to pay the garage directly.

Fantastic stay, but prepare to walk a bit
Pros:

It was clean, and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were also very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

It says it’s close to attractions, and it is if you’re ok with walking a bit. It is not on the Phlash route and getting to the nearest stop requires a walk. We had a great stay as a family with older children (12 and older), and the on-site parking made getting around relatively easy. However, if you’re someone with younger children who need to walk with no stroller or someone who has difficulty walking, there might be better options.

Pros:

The location is great; it's close to centrum. The room is very large, spacious, and well-equipped, with huge, comfortable beds. If there had been more things to see in Philadelphia, we would have gladly stayed here longer.

Cons:

Breakfast is the typical American breakfast, which can be a disappointment for Europeans. The hotel is popular, so there is a line at the start of check-in.

Wish parking was included in stay. Also learned after we already stayed they offer a discount for hospital patients. We will be back in about a week. Felt really safe there!

More ice machines
