Overall, an amazing stay! The hotel has a fantastic location, just steps from Rittenhouse Square and Philadelphia’s business district. The rooms are very nice, clean, and well maintained. Keep in mind that this is not a brand-new hotel, but everything was spotless and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming throughout my stay.

Large (compared to NYC, at least!), nice room, great bed. One fault, which stood out in an otherwise excellent room - kind of ragged shower curtain. Inexplicable really. Great towels, too.
