Great location and free breakfast
Pros:

I have been coming to this hotel for the past five years. My family loves it.
The free breakfast is an absolute bonus and the afternoon social is great for grabbing some coffee and snacks. The staff is always friendly and very helpful if you need anything

Wonderful staff and best sleeping beds!
Pros:

Our family stayed at this quaint hotel for a travel volleyball tournament. I was concerned as I was not familiar with it at all. I call the day prior to confirm my reservation and spoke with the Salina who was beyond kind and helpful. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The beds slept amazingly! Best sleep in a hotel ever. Would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.

Loved the vibe, not the hardware
Pros:

Beautifully decorated small hotel. Location was great. Everywhere was within 20 minutes of walk. The neighborhood felt safe to a girl on solo trip. The social hours were great, and I enjoyed a great conversation with another guest. Staff were all friendly and helpful!

Cons:

There was a mouse in the first room I stayed in, but the staff changed my room immediately after. I booked a deluxe queen room for its two windows, but the second room I got had one window blocked by the wall of the next building. The chair wasn't the most comfortable and it was hard to sit for long hours. Beware if you're on a business trip.

Great Center City Location
Pros:

Great location with easy access to center city. Fair value for the room too. Close to restaurants and topped off by a truly fantastic staff. If that's what you're going for, choose this hotel.
