Clean & Central Location
Pros:

I liked the location very easy to get around.

Cons:

I didn't like that several elevators were out of order. Also not soap was in the soap dispenser in the shower.

Pros:

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was perfect.

Cons:

2 of the 3 elevators were down during a very busy weekend, including a wedding. Many, including the some of the wedding party, were late because they couldn't get on the elevator. There was also only one person at check-in , when the line was all the way down the stairs.

Cama fantástica numa muito boa localização!
Pros:

Localização, um quarto grande e muito confortável! Uma cama excelente! Uma vista desimpedida! Ginásio muito completo!

Cons:

Apenas um elevador para um hotel de mais de 15 andares porque os outros 2 elevadores estavam avariados!
Check-in tardio, só às 16h apesar de que o hotel permite guardar as malas.

Pros:

Ottima posizione, personale cortese, letti comodi

Cons:

L'estrattore di aria in bagno era eccessivamente rumoroso, un ronzio continuo che non ci ha consentito di dormire bene.
Colazione piuttosto modesta

Wouldn’t stay here again.
Cons:

Trash cans blocking fire doors! Yikes. On top of that there was no body wash or hand soap in our room. When we asked for some the front desk said, “do you need it tonight?” My brother in Christ, what a funny way to tell me you don’t wash your hands after using the bathroom. Additionally, only one elevator was working so it took foreverrr to get one.

Anything you needed the staff really did their best. I loved everything about the room.
Pros:

I loved the bed, the room design and the location. The hosts and staff were so nice, they made my experience the better.

Cons:

There’s 3 elevators but currently only 1 is in service. With the building having around 16 floors and a rooftop restaurant you can imagine how difficult it becomes to catch the elevator in peak hours.

I will never stay here again on my trips to Philadelphia.
Pros:

Cleanliness of bedroom

Cons:

Layout of room, no staff present for assistance and to answer questions, elevator operation confusing, paint in hallways - messy, garbage on the floors . All these issues at an unfair price.

Poor customer service and worst elevators
Pros:

The room was big and the bed was comfortable.
We could let our suitcases at the hotel for a few hours after checking-out.

Cons:

Where to start....

1. We arrived at 16:00 (check-in time), and we were told our room was not ready. We had to wait for 20 minutes in the lobby, without any complimentary drinks or even, just a "sorry for the inconvenience". We were supposed to be informed when our room was ready, it was not the case, we had to ask if it was ready.

2. The check-in was really bad, no "hello", barely a few words to request the deposit, not even indications about our room number or where to go. I never had that bad check-in.

3. Finally, probably the WORST part, the hotel has 3 elevators, but only one was working, the two others had no indications they were out of service (they are probably trying to hide it, I see from previous reviews it's the case for a few weeks). The hotel has 17-18 floors, we were on the 15th floor, so we could not climb the stairs. We had to wait each time for 5-10 minutes to get in as it was busy.

Amazing solo stay in Center City - highly recommend
Pros:

Staff were super friendly and super helpful. I was a solo traveller and didn't feel at all uncomfortable for my whole stay.

Cons:

Nothing at all to dislike! My only recommendation would be to stock up on the English breakfast tea in the rooms when the British are staying!!!

Decent place to stay if all your looking for is a place to sleep beyond that I would not recommend.
Pros:

This hotel was in a decent location and near one of the main subway/metro stations. But other than that there was nothing outstanding or amazing about it.

Cons:

The hotel has 3 public elevators and 1 for staff, 3 of the 4 were down the entire week I was there. When inquiring about repairs we were just repeatedly told, "its a process" and "sorry." It was difficult to get up to the room or down to the lobby and leave. Housekeeping wasn't able to keep up either since moving the carts between floors was difficult with everyone sharing 1 elevator. On day 6 they finally posted a notice.

I’d give the hotel a second chance, but I’m not likely to recommend it to friends.
Pros:

Nice location, spacious rooms, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Only one elevator (out of 3) was operational, so it took a long time to get in and out of the rooms. The soap dispenser in the shower was empty when I arrived. Although I told the front desk and a maid about this, it was still empty the next day—and the room had never been made up between the days. I also reported that there were no coffee cups next to the coffee machine in my room and that issue wasn’t addressed either, not by the front desk, not by the maid.
