Clean rooms and friendly staff! Amazing location!
Pros:

We liked the location and the cleanliness of the room. The staff were also incredibly friendly.

Cons:

Unfortunately the mattress in our room was not comfortable. My boyfriend and I were rolling into the center and knocking into each other. I believe it may have just been too worn in but not sure but that did not happen at any other hotel we stayed at on our trip.

Me esperaba más
Pros:

Iba a trabajar en la Universidad de Temple y el hotel está dentro del campus.
La habitación es grande y estaba preparada para una persona de movilidad reducida aunque yo tengo esa necesidad. Las toallas son cambiadas sin problema.

Cons:

Me dieron la llave de una habitación y después de instalarme y salir me di cuenta de que la puerta no se quedaba cerrada. Sin darle la menor importancia me cambiaron a una habitación más pequeña.
El servicio de habitaciones no limpia y sólo hace la cama una vez por semana. Cuando llegué el WC estaba sucio.
Las ventanas no se abren y la habitación no se ventila.
