9.2/10 Wonderful! (143 reviews)
Our 1st time visiting to see tourist sights. This place is within 3-4 blocks of Philadelphia's 2 Hop-On/Office tour bus companies. There's a bakery/café & Starbucks across the street, plenty of food within walking distance, as well as we found affordable long term parking 3 blocks away. The building was recently renovated to like brand new. We loved our stay!!!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,004 reviews)
The best thing about the property is the staff- helpful, professional, accommodating. The worst thing about the property are the rooms. The building is old so the rooms are in need of constant repair. During our three night stay the living room wall heater needed to be fixed twice and the bathroom fan needed to be completely replaced. The shower leaked so badly that we had to leave a towel on the floor at all times to absorb the water. The rooms have a connecting door that is so thin that any noise, TV, conversation, music, comes right through. We will not be staying here again. That is too bad since the building was once beautiful and prestigious but time has taken its toll. And $70 per night to park a vehicle!
