This hotel is so quiet and clean! Deborah in housekeeping and Alyze in the breakfast area were very helpful! I talked to Alyze for quite some time. She was very happy and positive! It was a pleasure! Everyone is very pleasant and helps you with a smile. I found the staff at this hotel to be the best of any place I’ve ever stayed. My go-to place in Philadelphia!

Wonderful stay! I chose this location based on its close proximity to the metro, but this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, the staff went our of their way to be friendly and to make our stay comfortable, and the breakfast was wonderful. We also appreciated the wine and cheese night on Wednesday and the luggage storage. A huge plus is that it was a quiet hotel. Thanks for a great stay!

Hotel was extremely accommodating of our late check in. Room was lovely and clean with very comfortable bed. Coffee making facilities was great and coffee was in our room was much better than the coffee served with the breakfast which was disappointing. Limited choice and the hot options were far from hot. Overall a good hotel, with very helpful staff but the breakfast let it down.
