Walking distance to the universities. Hotel is undergoing renovations but rooms were comfortable and nice. The layout of lobby and entrance is odd but front desk was friendly.
Everything was bright and spotless. The reception staff was professional and very helpful. This is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in our 50 yrs of travel. The valet service couldn’t have been more convenient.
The staff a facilities were great. However, there was construction going on and the early morning racket was unbearable. Also, the fire alarm when off early in the morning as well. It was quite the experience.
Our room was very comfortable. The beds and the linens were just right. The room was quiet. There was a thunderstorm and we barely heard it.
The staff was helpful from the parking staff to check in and check out.
I would recommend.
Stayed here as it was close to the Penn Medicine Hospital so I could walk over, about a 15 minute walk. Property is well located near/of University of Pennsylvania’s campus. Parts of the rooms were updated, the rest less so but there is plenty of room and it was clean and comfortable.
there was renovations on our floor. The floor/carpet in our hallway was not very clean. Noise was fine. Our room was clean. Overall a pleasant experience. Valet was great.
Double beds are not queen size, maybe a full.
Exceptionally clean with abundant space that is well designed. Wall is a little bit thin as I could hear neighbor's dog bark intermittently but otherwise cannot hear TV or people talking from next door. Will definitely come back again.
