The room was very quiet and clean, although a bit small. The staff was very helpful and they had nice touches like a hot chocolate and cookie bar near the desk along with coffee and tea. Parking was convenient and it is close to lots of bars and restaurants.

Perfect hotel and area to stay in, was in the center of many historical sites and museums that we wanted to visit. Very walkable. Also many great dining options to choose from. The staff here were so nice and accommodating. Our room was quaint and also quiet considering it was a fairly busy area.

This hotel is so quiet and clean! Deborah in housekeeping and Alyze in the breakfast area were very helpful! I talked to Alyze for quite some time. She was very happy and positive! It was a pleasure! Everyone is very pleasant and helps you with a smile. I found the staff at this hotel to be the best of any place I’ve ever stayed. My go-to place in Philadelphia!

Wonderful stay! I chose this location based on its close proximity to the metro, but this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, the staff went our of their way to be friendly and to make our stay comfortable, and the breakfast was wonderful. We also appreciated the wine and cheese night on Wednesday and the luggage storage. A huge plus is that it was a quiet hotel. Thanks for a great stay!
