Art Institute of Philadelphia

I expected higher rates over July 4th, but the lack of amenities and condition of the room qualified this stay as pure price gouging. In over 100 degree heat there was no water available in the hotel, not even for purchase. The bathroom had pealing paint and the room had peeling wallpaper. There was no surface or counter to place toiletries on, and the small soap provided fell into the sink due to lack of a spot to put it.

I stayed in two different units at One Sky Loft. Overall, the place does look like the pictures, it is comfortable, and it has the essentials for a practical stay, including things for cooking and preparing meals. However, in this unit, there were a few important issues. There was an unpleasant smell that became stronger in the afternoon and at night, almost like paint or chemicals. Also, the Wi-Fi was almost nonexistent: very slow and unstable, which was pretty inconvenient. Another downside was that the unit was listed as having a window with a city view, but that was not the case. I had stayed in another unit before where I did get a window with a city view, so this was disappointing for the price. Other than those issues, the space is functional, looks like the photos, and has good amenities, but these details definitely affected the experience.
