I have stayed at the property several times and each time it has been a pleasure. The check in is simple and easy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Kayla in particular is a great to deal with; she is friendly, and runs a tight ship. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.

The staff was very pleasant...i was just disappointed by the mold and hard water on rim on bottom of shower. The bathroom is an important place. I come from hilton background. And i hope that housekeeping can become a little more mindful of places like that in which need to be cleaned.

Our room was awesome, it even had a small kitchen complete with refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher, dishes, pots and pans! The bed was so comfortable and the staff we met were all friendly. The whole place was very clean, and the breakfast was great! Didn’t get a chance to check out the pool. Definitely will come back!

I booked the reservation there because they had a pool. The pool water was dirty there was no chlorine to kill the bacteria. The room was very nice that they definitely need to do better about the pool.

Great Stay!

Our stay here was great. It was super hot outside and I was a little nervous because in the hallways the air conditioning seemed like it wasn’t working well but our room was very cool and comfortable. This location worked for us because we were seeing a show at the Mann but be aware, it’s not close to Center City at all. If you have a car, the parking lot is safe and secure and just a very short walk to the hotel if you don’t wish to Valet. I only had coffee but breakfast was included and seemed to have a variety of typical items. Planning to come again next month for another show!
