Most bang for your buck
This hotel isn't the fanciest but the perks are unbeatable. It had the best price in a close range to downtown philly. They have FREE parking! A beautiful outdoor pool! The staff was all very nice and very friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. It is definitely not high end and the hotel is a little old but they have done a good job keeping it as up to date as possible. If you are just looking for a cheap place to stay that is unbelievably convenient this is highly recommended.

The hotel itself is ole, but the attempt to update and maintain is visible. The room itself was comfortable, but the lighting in the bath room was very dim. The halls also and dark and a little daunting at first sight. I think that lighting is the biggest issue.

Philly Weekend
Front desk personal was very professional and courteous...was the only hotel downtown with free parking a big plus!!! I have only one complaint, the room was very warm and the AC would not come on in the room...I called the front desk and complained about it being too hot and they sent a maintenance personal immediately to check it out and he said that they turn the AC of during the winter months...they need to keep the AC on all year long...overall a great price and would definitely stay again!!!!

ok for a visit to Barnes collection
hotel was ok overall even though a bit expensive for what it is. Beds were excellent. Sports bar is not a place to go for dinner. It is dark and noisy. The waitress was the only one to serve the whole place. She was very pleasant considering what she had to put up with. Food was mediocre. Breakfast is not free. The ad says there may be a charge which is not true. There IS a charge.

Good Philadelphia Location
Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a parking lot, which adds value as it is not necessary to pay for parking in a nearby lot. The best part is the location; the hotel is located on the "Museum Mile" within walking distance of several major museums.

Great for BASIC hotel staying in the middle of everything
This hotel is excellent for those who like myself like to be in a great location for a fair price, and not too fussy about luxury features. It's a pretty BASIC hotel. It met and exceeded all my expectations. You can not beat this location and with free parking - it is even better. The room was clean and quiet (that's all I needed), everything was working. The only part that wasn't functioning well was the tub - the drain was very slow. The stuff was very friendly and efficient with all my demands, and dresses nicely and classy. Overall a very pleasant experience, will stay over and over again.

Close to Everything
A clean hotel that has a bit of a "patina". It's fairly old but for the price was a good value. It was within 2 to 3 miles of nearly everything I wanted to see. I went in the winter and the weather was bad or I would have walked nearly everywhere. The parking is good and is free. The work out area is pretty small with ony 4 pieces of equipment. The staff was always very polite.

Skip the restaurant in the Hotel and walk less than a block to the Philly Grub and Pub. Fantastic food and a great selection of taps as well as top notch service.

The only plus is the location and the free parking. Other than that, ugh.
