A Fine Hotel in a Great Location.

The Iron Works. A retro look that fooled me for a day or two. It is not a construction site! It’s a very cool look. The hotel is a little off the beaten path, but in a great location. If you go out the front and turn right, it is a short walk across the pedestrian bridge to Manyunk, with many restaurants and shops on Main Stree. It doesn’t take much more time to drive there, though it’s a longer distance. If you are a cyclist, the Pencoyd Bridge will put you on Main St., and you can pick up the Schuylkill River Bikeway just to the north. You can ride to Valley Forge and beyond on excellent bike paths. And, it is very convenient to The Hearth at Drexel retirement community if you are here to visit someone there. Nice to have a suite. My wife came down with a cold on the flight from Rome. She stayed in the room or on the hotel grounds for the first four days, until she felt better. She enjoyed the large TV that swiveled, so she could watch some horrible drama from the living room or from the bed. There was a nice dressing area, a good-sized closet, and a nice bathroom with a walk-in shower. The paper goods and the linens were of good quality. The kitchen was well stocked, had a regular refrigerator, two burner cooktop, microwave, and a dishwasher. There were adequate supplies for dishwashing, etc. Although I could have cooked my own breakfast, I enjoyed the free buffet downstairs. Breakfast was generally very good, with a variety of eggs, meats, cereal, yogurt, juices, bagels and breads, but bananas for oatmeal were scarce, and they ran out of raisins the last two days of my stay. I would have liked to try Lark Restaurant, but my wife had a cold and we chose to bring in food and eat at the dining table in our room. While recovering she enjoyed the cafe in front. After traveling for two weeks, I appreciated the laundry facility. I got there early and ran two loads while reading. I was able to continue my journey with clean clothes. Bottom line: We will be back.

Highly recommend

We stayed here for 5 consecutive weeks. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was very clean and the room was spacious. The complimentary breakfast had a large selection and met all our needs. Theocation was so nice. Right on the water with outdoor activities for families. Also the 2 on site restaurants was so convenient. I would stay here again when visiting this area.

Good overall, details and service lacking

We are Bonvoy members, and stayed here during a short trip to Philadelphia. The location is great, and it’s easy to get into the city. We appreciated the upgrade to a suite after we requested a room with two queen beds. Full breakfast is great, and amenities (pool, game room) are nice for kids. Lobby and fireplace are nice to sit in. Seems like a 5 star stay, but we took a point off for our experience with the room service. We requested a room refresh on our second night, and were shocked to come back to a room with unmade beds. The house keeping staff had come in that day, refreshed our towels and took out trash, partially made one bed, didn’t make the other one at all, and left the pull out sofa a mess. We had left a tip and were really disappointed in how they left our room. Less of an issue, but the kids had difficulty using the game room (remotes weren’t charged), and we needed a staff person to unlock the pool when our key cards didn’t work. When we checked out, the front desk staff barely acknowledged us, as they were too busy on a personal cell phone call. This property has a lot of potential, is new, clean, well designed, and comfortable. But the staffing issues were apparent.
