Easily a top 3 Hotel for me in Philadelphia. I got the Suite w/ the hot tub and it was needed. Stayed 2 nights with a friend and we were relaxed. Its in a great part of town surrounded by small bars, high end restaurants and everything in between. Its all in walking distance. The employees were helpful and the doormen were great and helpful. Will absolutely stay again.

Usually, I have a really good experience at this hotel, but not this time. The whole point of me booking the room with the jetted tub is to infect be able to use the tub. At the end of the night when I realized that the tub did not in fact work properly and did not drain so you couldn’t get the dirty water out. I complained to the front desk and the complaint seem to fall on deaf ears.
