Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although I asked about the parking situation before booking this hotel, Phoenixville decided to extend its weekend shutdown of the streets by one more week. This made it extremely inconvenient to get to the hotel and we had to drag our luggage through the streets. Parking was NOT available in the lots nearby or in the senior center later that evening. We ended up moving to another hotel and since I had paid nonrefundable (NEVER AGAIN) I had no recourse. The hotel also did not feel safe. The deadbolt on the door did not lock from the outside and there was no safe in the room. Just an uncomfortable situation all around. The staff was extremely pleasant and kind.
