Perfect stay in a wonderful location.
Pros:

It was snowing when we arrived and immediately sat in front of the cozy fire in the parlor. This was our second “staycation” there - first was our honeymoon. As always the room was large and spotless, the breakfast abundant, and the location superb. Talulah’s Garden, our favorite Philly restaurant , is literally around the corner and Time, a great Jazz club with excellent food, a ten minute walk away. In the morning we strolled through Washington Square to tour the Atheneum. It was too cold to sit in the lovely garden but breakfast was served in front of the fire. This is the perfect way to experience historic Philadelphia at its finest.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Nagyon kedves volt a személyzet.
A ház, a szoba és a közös helyiségek hangulata varázslatos, visszarepültünk pár évszázadot az időben. Ennek ellenére minden kényelem megvolt a mai igényeknek megfelelően. A reggeli elég volt, a kávé finom. Elhelyezkedés is tökéletes, a belváros gyalog kényelmesen bejárható,de a tömegközlekedés is jó.

Pros:

Qualité de l'accueil.
Calme de l'hôtel

Cons:

Petit déjeuner assez sommaire (car pas de cuisine dans l'établissement)
Fenêtres de la chambre en grande partie occultées par des voilages fixes, d'où une absence de vue sur l'extérieur.
Déco plutôt rustique
