My husband and I at The Study while moving our son into a new apartment in Center City. Our stay at The Study was fantastic. We had a lovely room, two great meals, and the lobby is a great place to just sit and relax. All personnel were extra friendly and helpful. The overall experience was nothing short of excellent.
