The lobby is was under construction as well as the restaurant so there was nowhere else in the build to go and get food. I also got shocked every time I pressed the elevator button. I will say the whole was very quite and I was able to relax. They were also not clear on where to park until afterwards so I want an extra $22 on a parking garage that didn’t allow overnight parking.

We’ll be back!
We are here for a medical appointment. Crazy trip into Phillie but the stag here is phenomenal! Only issue is parking. I chose not to have valet parking but now have unanswered questions on how to pay for the parking at the lot when we leave. Wish the staff had mentioned at checkin the actual cost of valet parking and all the benefits.

Perfect place near UPenn
I needed a place to stay while my husband had a procedure at the university of Penn. It was a short walk from the hospital. They had a restaurant attached to the hotel. It was closed for a private event, but they were able to send food to the room. It was delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving
Amazing peaceful neighborhood. We stayed on Wednesday night so that we could see the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day parade. My only issue was parking. We used a neighboring garage and the doors were on the opposite side of hotel. By no means not hotels fault. Just a heads up to others for there stay. Maybe use valet parking
