It was a small room but, except for the lack of any real table top, adequate and modern. I especially liked the choice of flooring- a hard surface instead of the carpeting which always seems so dirty in other hotels. The location was excellent and the price good. I’d recommend this property.

There was no dresser, no luggage rack no proper closet and the shower curtain was 5 inches too short so every time you took a shower the whole bathroom flooded and you had to use all of the towels to clean it up. They really should put micro in the description of the hotel.

Continently located. Kind and attentive staff. Busy but quiet hotel. Inconsistent with towels. We were always missing a wash cloth or a bath mat. Great service at the bar. Happy hour was worth it. Be warned, rooms are very small. No closet, just a nook to hang a few clothing items. Loved the full sized bath products. The shower is ok. Tiles can get very slippery. Would have preferred a shower door rather than curtain. Hotel is perfectly located. Very walkable area. Overall great stay!

The room was lovely. Very clean and modern. We loved the convenient and central location. However, we were unable to check in at 3pm as promised, because of staffing issues. We waited over 45 extra minutes before we were able to check in, causing us to be late to a scheduled event for which we were in town. The staff seemed like this was the norm, and brushed it off as if nothing was wrong. There were at least 10-12 others parties delayed as well waiting for their rooms. Also, the restaurant and rooftop bar are not open on Sundays, which was extremely disappointing as this was a selling point for us when booking the room.

Comfortable beds, safe hotel

The hotel is very nice and the beds are super comfortable. There's parking across the street but it would be nice if hotel guests were offered some kind of discount since the hotel advertises they partner with the lot across the street. I'm not rich so any discount would be nice. Nevertheless the motto is a great hotel. Small rooms but has everything you need. Safe, too! I enjoyed my stay.

All Great

Excellent, basic hotel room. Very clean, everything works; no noise at night (at least in my room); and they've got a really good rooftop bar. Also, excellent location for so much that's cool in Philly.

Great hotel for a quick stay. Besides the overpriced parking options, which are unavoidable, the only thing we didn’t like was the not-so-private bathroom. The hotel rooms are small, which we knew, but the opaque bathroom door gave zero privacy, so one of us would leave the hotel room entirely when the other one needed to use it. Just put on a normal door…problem solved!
