Amenities wasn't there(hot tub,bbq pot,gym). Heaters didn't warm the area. Threatened to kick veteran out. ##### alan r. Stayed 20 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### John M. 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### If you buy cheap.. The Owner I’ll say was very reasonable and great with communication. Even if there was an emergency was willing to work with you with any adjustments with your stay. However, being told I had to wait outside while having the “maintenance” man work was rather annoying. Had to do regular maintenance on the humidifier, and air conditioner was also also something I didn’t think I’d have to do, if you don’t it’ll be hot, humid, floors wet with the humidifier leaking. The neighborhood had the worse parking available, not to mention the amount of broken into cars in the neighborhood. There were more tarps, shower curtains and window curtains than I’ve ever seen in my life. Was it a cheap stay? Yes. Was the owner someone reasonable, and easy to work with? Yes. Will I stay at this location again? In the politest way. No. ##### John M.

Stayed 45 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 13 Jan 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A STAY FROM HELL STAY AWAY! This place is a run down cramped basement with very old furniture and equipment, smelly, dirty, everything is either sticky or dusty or simply dirty. There’s spider webs on the ceiling, electric extension wires everywhere, the bathroom ceiling will touch your head and the shower is so small you can’t turn around when you shower. The bed sheets felt like sand paper. There was a power cut in the middle of the night. They refused to refund me even though I stayed for 1 night out of 7 and tried to charge me an additional $300 “air condition” fee. I had to get the help of my bank, cancel my card and dispute the transaction in order to block the “air condition fee” and get a temporary banks refund..it’s by far the worst place I’ve ever been to and a terrible experience... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan O. 10 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay Great communication, cleanliness and accurate to the T.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony R. 29 Jun 2018 #### Local Philly boy returns to his old neighborhood! It’s difficult trying to find a cheap hotel/air b&b in Germantown, since my friends also moved out of the hood. Mia was a cool host and communicated well to make sure I was comfortable or needed anything while coming back for the weekend. I’ll be booking w/ her the next time I return. ##### Anthony R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Combe House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridgwater-Hotels-Combe-House-Hotel.h2171863.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Almunecar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almunecar-Hotels.d5774.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Saltcoats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saltcoats-Hotels.d3000477342.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-Wyndham-Philadelphia-Historic-District.h15646.Hotel-Information) > > [Sneaton Castle Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Sneaton-Castle-Centre.h17391218.Hotel-Information) > > [Motto by Hilton Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-Pod-Philly.h37735084.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windsor Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-The-Windsor-Suites.h201099.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fiumicino-Leonardo-Da-Vinci-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aFCO-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Atlantica Ocean Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Platanias-Hotels-Creta-Princess-Aquapark-Spa.h1186786.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sonesta-Philadelphia-Rittenhouse-Square.h4470.Hotel-Information) > > [GreyFriars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-GreyFriars.h12921400.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h465743.Hotel-Information) > > [The Watergate Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Watergate-Inn.h20928250.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Pittsburgh University Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Wyndham-Pittsburgh-University-Center.h3215.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Abrat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Hotel-Abrat.h1425093.Hotel-Information) > > [BritanniaHotels Hotels in Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Britannia-Hotels.0-0-d654--bBritanniaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sofitel-Philadelphia-At-Rittenhouse-Square.h454658.Hotel-Information) > > [Canopy by Hilton Philadelphia Center City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philadelphia-Hotels-Canopy-Philadelphia-Center-City.h46227144.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Rishikesh (DED)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ded/london-to-dehradun) > > [Flights from Cotonou (COO) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/coo/lhr/cotonou-to-london) ### Activities ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ---
