Too expensive. Ok for one night.

Liked:In historic Philly

Disliked:Could not control temp in the room. The room had a mechanical odor. At 2am the smell of marijuana was unbearable. I tried to use the phone to call the desk and the phone didn’t work. The cost for the room for one night was very high. The bed was super uncomfortable and hard.

Stayed for wedding weekend - but rooms need some updates

Liked:Even though this Historic District hotel is only a couple blocks away from The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall - it needs some work. I stayed here for my son’s wedding since there was a block of rooms reserved for wedding guests. The bathroom had peeling paint on the ceiling, a toilet that wouldn’t flush properly, and the tub would not drain well as you showered. The furniture in the room had marks and worn spots - seemed old and outdated. And apparently the furniture was similar in the suite that the wedding couple had. We had one family member whose toilet flooded their bathroom. There’s a textured wallpaper in the bathroom that collects hair and lint - not appealing. The service was great - especially housekeeping. We had the beds made and bathroom cleaned, as well as fresh towels each day. I requested a late checkout and they were very accommodating since we had to drive family members to the airport and had to come back for our luggage. Convenient area but needs a little sprucing up.

Disliked:At 11:30 at night there was a loud crash that scared my daughter and myself. It wasn’t a solitary crash. It was a huge noise like shelves falling and this happened a couple times. The guy yelled through the door that it was engineering. Seriously? At 11:30 at night.
