This is not a high-end hotel, but you get a 5-star stay at a 3-star property. The location is perfect for adventures in Philly. It's walking distance to Patco, Subway, and Regional Rail, as well as to Reading Terminal Market and all the historic sites. The room was clean and comfortable, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent spot for travelers on a bit of a budget that still want to be in the heart of the city. I will stay here again.

It is a very nice place. Although it is in a noisy part of the city it’s not a bad trade off for being in walking distance to almost everything the city has to offer. Plus the complementary breakfast is not bad either.

Enjoying stay! Was worried about previous reviews about the lack of AC, but the room was nicely cool, clean, and comfortable. The elevators and lobby can use some updating though. Breakfast was ok but there’s many good restaurants and cafes in the area to try. Great location for attractions!

The hotel was so nice! Our room was on the small side but that didn’t bother us because the bathroom was large and everything was spotless! The two ladies at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast had a wide variety of choices and the staff were also wonderful. It was actually one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had!
