Our stay did not go as expected at all but the staff were nice.
Pros:

The highlight of the stay was the server during breakfast. She was very welcoming and professional to not only my party but to all the guests. No complaints about the other staff either but the breakfast server provided amazing service throughout our stay.

Cons:

We were placed in a very spacious room however it was very poorly lit. The floors could use some cleaning. We had to request for a light to be fixed in the room multiple times which did not help at all with the lighting in the room. We also had to request the drain be fixed in the bathtub and for an ironing board. We were moved from our spacious room to a much smaller room to address the lighting issues despite being able to see other rooms on our floor had a floor lamp which our room did not have.

Una piacevole sorpresa
Pros:

Struttura scenografica e in posizione centrale. La camera spaziosa e il bagno molto grande. La colazione merita senz’altro una menzione per la qualità e la cura con cui è preparata.

Cons:

Arrivando in auto non c’è lo spazio per scaricare i bagagli e l’accesso ha diversi scalini, un po’ scomodo per le valigie e nessuno disponibile a dare una mano.

Great location and spacious rooms, but housekeeping needs improvement
Pros:

The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The location is also excellent and very convenient for exploring Philadelphia.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Cons:

However, the biggest downside was that our room was not cleaned even once during our entire stay, which I find quite unacceptable for a hotel of this standard and such a well-known chain.

The breakfast was also fairly average and could definitely be improved, especially considering the overall standard of the hotel.

Apart from these points, everything else was great. We especially appreciated the spacious room, lovely staff, and fantastic location.

Cómo hotel en zona centro de Philadelphia
Pros:

Ubicación
Baño amplio

Cons:

El agua se salía de la ducha al ducharse y quedaba todo el suelo mojado. Poca iluminación en la pieza. El internet era muy lento. El estacionamiento del hotel era muy caro (US$ 74 la noche). No había frigobar en la habitación.
