A great location and very friendly staff
Pros:

The staff is fabulous -- very professional and friendly. The complimentary breakfast is very good with lots of choices. The rooms are comfortable and it's very nice to have a microwave and small refrigerator in addition to the usual coffee maker.

Cons:

We've stayed here 4 times when we come to the Philly Flower Show. The en suite bathrooms are a little cramped. Also, they have a fancy coffee machine in the breakfast area that grinds beans and brews coffee to order. The coffee is very good, but it takes a relatively long time to brew it and there's sometimes a backup with people waiting. I prefer the "old fashioned" way of coffee in thermal pitchers.

Perfecte locatie, ruime en schone kamer
Pros:

De locatie is ideaal. Midden in het centrum en ook ‘D avonds is het daar buiten prima om te zijn. Metro (in Philly noemen ze het train) is om de hoek. Wij hebben alles lopend kunnen doen wat we in de stad wilden zien. Parkeergarage aan het hotel was ook ideaal.

Cons:

Qua hotel zelf niks. Wij zien het niet zitten om autosleutels af te geven voor het parkeren. Dit moet omdat ze auto’s achter elkaar parkeren. Wij gaven aan dit niet te willen en er was steeds wel een plek vrij waarvoor dit niet hoefde maar het was vervelend geworden als er niet zo’n vrije plek geweest zou zijn.
