Pros:

Lovely location to explore Philadelphia by foot.

Cons:

Our bed mattress was horrible. So saggy that sleeping on the floor seemed better, and when we told staff, they just flipped same mattress over. Only a slight improvement. The refrigerator turned everything into a solid block of ice.

Beautiful room but more information needed before booking.
Pros:

The room was large and everything was absolutely beautiful, new and well-kept. The location was ideal for us. Communication was excellent.

Cons:

There was NO window in the room, which was weird and made the room dark. This was a first. Never have I had to check a website or virtual tour to make sure there is a window. We had trouble with remotes in the room: tv, air conditioning. Also, guests should know that the Florence room (#2) and room #1 are on the first floor as stated, but room #1 is RIGHT inside the main entrance.

Will Return
Pros:

Location was excellent and aesthetically, truly a gorgeous place. We stayed in room 7 and it was a great size for two people with places to sit and read. Bed was pretty comfortable, if anything, too soft. Bed was not squeaky, which is nice with a light sleeper. Building was quiet. The books with the history of the Guild House were a nice touch.

Cons:

The shower was big but the water pressure and shower head were pretty weak/puny. It's a lovingly updated old building and I suspect that's just the joy of retrofitting.

Historic Gem
Pros:

Wonderful, historic hotel with individualized rooms.
Great communication with staff.

Cons:

While not really a problem for us, it is important to know there are 4 floors and no elevator.

Great room in a beautiful property for a nice Center City stay.
Pros:

Space was beautiful and comfortable. Clean.

Cons:

There is a common area that guests can use as a lounge. There was a guest using this space like his own office and decided to set up directly outside the door to our room. It was off putting.
