So so
I writing about my current holiday at your hotel.    The building and room were beautiful however that is not enough.    Thursday night a loud sounding noise woke us up three times.    We thought it was an emergency alarm but discovered it was the heating unit.   We had to turn the heat off to deal w the issue. The next day we called and someone came up to service the unit.    Once again Saturday night the same issue.    Once again, interruptedsleep in a very cold room.   Long lines every day because all the elevators were not functioning.

Good location, room was decent. Gym is outdated. Restaurant was very poor. Evening bartender, big guy, was very slow and rude. I sat for 10 mins waiting for a beer. Had a burger and bun was cold and fell apart instantly. Very disappointing.

I love how close proximity the hotel is to everything. The septa Surburban stop was a 6-minute walk. Shopping and dining options all walkable. The buses are right around the corner. The only con is that the restaurant does not serve dinner.
