Lovely little independent motel in a nice (safe) neighborhood in Philadelphia. Room was very clean and they were nice about checking in past 1 AM after a late flight. Staff were friendly and quick. Easy walk to the grocery store with plant based options.

Renovated-modern but small room Staff was calling at check-time for us to leave and knocking on door at 2 minutes after check-in as we were about to leave...beware of staff monitoring your check-out time to the minute, not the most customer friendly feature when your packing-up
