Love the location near Rittenhouse square. Room didn't have a refrigerator or drawers/shelves for clothes. Inconvenient. Room service was confusing and we had someone bugging us to get in the room. Partially our fault.

This is a charming boutique hotel. Wonderful front desk team. Very nice room and bed. The continental breakfast is a delight. We visited the speakeasy by the lobby that was nice, with craft cocktails. This 20 room inn is in a great area for shopping and dining.
