I enjoyed that the property was near by to many places to visits, the area was clean and felt safe, and the staff were very nice and helpful! Some things that I wish could be better were more breakfast options, more amenities in the room (like a microwave), and a bigger bathroom space to place personal toiletries. Besides that, this place was sufficient and very convenient for a short trip and would recommend.

Breakfast offerings were just OK, but the 5-7 free wine social hour was very nice. The room was well kept and housekeeping was very thorough. They also post interesting nearby events on a bulletin board in the (very small) elevator, which I appreciated, and the staff overall was very kind. The Kandinsky print in our room was hung upside down, lol. Definitely a budget hotel with overall very good value.

Located in a beautiful historic neighborhood known for its 19th- and early-20th-century rowhouses and historic buildings, including charming brick townhouses, Victorian-era architecture, and picturesque narrow streets. Just a 6-minute walk from City Hall and Independence Hall, it’s perfectly situated for exploring Philadelphia’s historic landmarks and vibrant downtown

It was a nice stay overall. The staff were very friendly and the room was quite nice. The bed could have been softer for a single room, but I could still sleep ok. The window on the 7th floor offered a nice view of the city.
