I booked for my daughter’s graduation from Temple Law — I wanted the closest as possible in case it was 100 degrees. It was chilly and rainy AF so it was perfect and convenient. Not at all fancy but affordable and what you need. Staff were great.

Clean and comfortable room stocked with essential amenities. Very courteous, informed staff eager to answer questions and provide helpful guidance. Pet friendly was a plus for our 12y, 5lb service dog. A very short stay with a lasting impression that has us eager to return. Thank you.

The location was very convenient and the staff were helpful. The room was nice but the bed was very uncomfortable - way too soft. There was no place in the bathroom to set toiletries, not even a toothbrush. And there was no full length mirror.
