  • They forgot about sleeping arrangements for 2 people (out of 4) and had to bring air mattresses. The pet fee was excessive

Strange feeling of being in an apartment building more than a hotel

Location is great

Good hotel to book in Philadelphia

The hotel views are very good. The location is very good being two blocks from the train station. As they are apartments, they are equipped, so we were able to have dinner one night at the hotel and use the washing machine to clean clothes. It has towels and robes to go to the pool.
