Place was nice. Staff was great. Has parking which is great. Just in a nondescript area on a busy road and not super convenient if your activities are more central Philly. On the positive, the ride through West Philly to Bart’s Bagels - a great bagel shop a few miles away - was awesome. Nice to see there are still cool neighborhoods for non wealthy people that aren’t gentrified yet. Love Philly. Good time!

I wanted to enjoy my budget friendly experience but unfortunately I found my room to be in need of a deep clean (good dusting and some less well used surfaces seemed like they hadn't been wiped), and the elevator gave me the creeps. Breakfast was nice, staff was kind. Unfortunately I don't see myself coming back, even though the price was right.
