The front desk attendant was amazing ..she helped us with directions to parking...and made suggestions because our vehicle was taller than the garage could handle...she was very helpful. The breakfast..even though simple..I could tell a lot of effort was put into making the space clean and tidy.

Great location. Everything to see is within walking distance. Felt safe at night. The bathrooms are a little small. The building is dated but has a charm about it and it is clean and well maintained. Staff is very friendly but at night it was different to find anyone at the front desk. Really enjoyed our visit.

Pros: location, friendly staff, free breakfast Cons: uncomfortable mattress, noise (you can hear people talking in the room next door, shower running and even footsteps above you AND trash gets picked up outside at 3:30am).

Great location. Love the old building and boutique hotel. Free continental breakfast was a nice surprise. Spent many nights in Philadelphia at different places, this is one of our favorites super walkable and nice safe area. Only negative was night clerk on check in ( 7:30 pm) was distracted by his phone and smoking outside. Had to wait for him to come in for 5-10 minutes after he saw us walk past him to enter. Went upstairs after checking in minimal toilet tissue on roll ... no backup to be seen. Went down to desk no clerk. sign saying helping another guest....waited 5 minutes walked outside interrupted his smoking and phone and asked for a couple rolls of T.P he gave me 1. ?? Hotel is better than the service he provided I attached a Pic of TP when we checked in. Couple of service missteps but still love the Hotel

We liked the location as we could walk to most places we wanted to visit and the area felt safe. The breakfast and happy hour were lovely. The room size was very small and felt a bit claustrophobic at times and the shower design was a challenge as the floor got very wet. We were on the 2nd floor in the front and the noise from the street kept us awake most nights, our first night there we didn't really sleep at all. The safe in the room was a nice feature however a small refrigerator would have been nice to have as we constantly had to run out to the store to get cold drinks. Overall it was a nice hotel for the money but if you prefer modern amenities definitely stay elsewhere.

I was extremely disappointed to pay $518.36 for a two night stay in a tiny, dingy room. I have travelled the world and this is one of the most disappointing accommodation experiences I have ever had. I feel thoroughly ripped off. Never again.

Nice hotel for a short stay close to the city and public transport. Staff was excellent and they offered free wine and cheese in the afternoon which was nice, however hotel is very old. Breakfast selection is slim and limited to only cereal, breads, and yogurt and it would have been nice to have an ice machine on every floor and a microwave in the room. Otherwise, a pleasant short stay and staff was very helpful.
