The place was spacious and we felt at home with so many nice amenities. Would definitely stay here on our next trip to Philadelphia. Our host was always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations. ##### Deborah B.

Lush Pads, the host organization was extremely communicative throughout the stay and sent very thorough check-in information.The location is great as it was less than a 10 minute walk to the convention center, the goal of our trip. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Thomas M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew B. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in First, the host was fantastic! Always responded quickly to any of my questions and let us have a late check out when my wife’s flight was delayed. The actual place was a little disappointing. The check in process was somewhat complicated- you needed 3 codes to get into unit. The directions for the prepaid parking were useless. The real problem was the upstairs bedroom was extremely hot and we could not sleep in it - despite setting the downstairs thermostat to 65\. ##### Andrew B. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara C. 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Fantastic location. Enjoyed the rooftop, great view of city lit up for the Phillies (game 1). Nearby bagel shop and pizza place are both perfect take out options. Place was nice and quiet for an action-packed sports weekend in Philly. Love the local area murals too. The instructions for parking didn't have information for opening the garage gate- but otherwise nothing negative to report. Definitely recommend. ![Rooftop view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c24e2159-882c-4450-821b-8b9b0a1de702-1759852136773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Friendly locals](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20aeabfb-3fdb-4fd3-9976-a667e4f78664-1759852139688.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sara C.

The upper level did not have a separate temperature control so it was significantly warmer up there than the main level (with the air conditioning on). ##### Deb S.
