Book the rooms with the double queen beds, facing the water, for just a couple bucks more. You'll enjoy the fantastic views and extra space. Staff was wonderful and the place was clean. The beds aren't all that comfortable, one mattress was softer than the other. Great location, right outside of Philly, and only 15 mins. away from the the Philly sports facilities and the Italian Market, in South Philly. Free parking and safe location, we would stay here, again.

This is a motel style hotel with exterior entrances to the rooms. I would not want to stay here in the winter or during bad weather. I stayed one night and it served its purpose as a budget overnight before leaving on a cruise. The shuttle from the airport was fine and that they had a complimentary shuttle to the cruise terminal was an unexpected surprise and much appreciated. The room was ok and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Location is fantastic. The property is being updated so won’t hold that against them. I really just wanted an affordable night on the river that was relaxing and that is what I got. Bed was comfortable, shower had good water pressure and fridge was cold, I was not looking for a five star resort and feel the value for my money was good.

The "city views" are anything but of the City. My biggest issue was the beds were on very squeaky springs and not box springs and the bed was like sleeping on a board. Room was very clean. If you don't like the sound of jets, this is not the place for you. The hotel is directly in the landing path for Philadelphia International Airport.

Location was lovely and the room was freshly renovated. The airport shuttle was prompt and clean. My only disappointment was the coffee service had no fresh milk/cream available, a small thing but something that would have made it a far better experience

The rooms can be cleaned better. Especially the walls above the bed. There's nowhere to hang your stuff. Absolutely keep the doors closed at all times or you'll be fighting bugs all night. There's no amenities. They do have coffee in the office, snack machines and ice machine. There's microwave and fridge in the rooms. Chairs outside to enjoy the water view. It was peaceful and restaurants are in driving distance. They have airport shuttle if needed. There's a nice park right next door also.
