The entire hotel staff was very helpful and kindly, since arrival until luggage storing after checkout. During my stay I had a problem with the room air conditioning and they promptly moved me to another one where it worked perfectly. I will certainly stay again when I return to Philadelphia.

The property check in was very easy and the valet was amazing. There were smells of marijuanna in the lobby though you can’t control the people who decide to stay here. Outside of that the staff are great.
