Almost $300 just for parking is absolutely absurd. They charge a $20 per day “fee” that’s non-refundable, supposedly for use at the art bar or café. I only used it once and never saw that money back. The pool bar was mentioned at check-in but was never actually available, and the parking staff were dismissive and unwilling to listen. The pool itself was nice, but the rest wasn’t. Even on the highest floor, our “view” was just of the pool. The pool restrooms were locked, which meant going all the way back upstairs just to use the bathroom. At the art café, the worker was rude and rushing people—at 8:00am, no less. Inside the room, the air conditioning never cooled properly, the phone didn’t work when we checked in, and housekeeping never came at all, even after we called and were told they would. For the price and reputation of this hotel, I expected so much better.

Property is in the perfect location! 7 min walk to LOVE PARK, check this location out for events and to take a picture with the LOVE sculpture. Late night food places open in walking distance. 7 min walk to Assembly lounge, check this spot for good drinks and food, plus a nice view of Philly. 2 min walk to Green Eggs Cafe. Overall clean hotel, staff were nice, check out the bar downstairs, rooftop pool, and valet service. Parking is expensive but worth it. Please go down early to get your vehicle, it does get busy sometimes, have patience valet are nice as well.
