The Study is beautifully designed. Sitting in the lobby was lovely. I appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea in the morning, and the free newspapers -- what luxury to sit in a lovely room watching people come and go. My breakfast in the hotel restaurant was very good. The room was beautiful, as well, and had a little study with a great selection of books on the shelves. Lots to dip into! This is my new favorite hotel. I'll defintiely return.

Very nice hotel and common spaces. Good restaurant on site and love that it’s a dog friendly hotel. For anyone visiting Drexel or Penn, very convenient location and staff was very nice. Only complaint, there wasn’t a mini fridge in the room, would have expected it especially because we booked a luxury room.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel next to the Penn campus. It’s an independent hotel (no brand from Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, etc.) with a very high level of service and cleanliness. I have stayed at the Sheraton and Hilton on campus and this far surpasses them in the overall guest experience. Very highly recommended if you are in University City in Philadelphia.
