Will stay again but hope for improvement.
Pros:

Room as expected. Small but OK bathroom.

Cons:

Air was set at 70 and no matter what we set it stayed at 70.
Handout from front desk at check in stated that daily room service included fresh linens & towels. It did NOT happen.

Good value if you are looking for central location and clean, comfortable rooms.
Pros:

The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was central but not as luxury as some others like the Sofitel which is a bit pricier. If you are looking for value and comfort this is perfect. If you want luxury and more of a social scene perfectly situated in the heart of Rittenhouse then may be worth to spend a little more. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The lobby was very tacky and not appealing. The entrance to hotel could have been more appealing as well. Felt very sketchy but the rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable.

Decent. Overpriced. Not the best customer service for what you pay to stay there.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Very expensive. Customer service was not great. Weren’t made aware of needing pool wiring bands. A lot of rules. Bar not open at the pool. 10 dollar per day couldn’t be used at the bar.

Friendly staff ensured one was safe as they navigated the new city by foot.
Pros:

Safe location in central Philadelphia. Easy walking distance to historical sites.

Cons:

Great room...but no plates, or silverware was in the mini kitchenette. Paper plate and plastic spoons would suffice.
