The hotel experience was disappointing overall. I had high hopes given its location in Old City Philadelphia, which is fantastic. However, the cleanliness and service left much to be desired. While the building itself holds great potential, the lack of proper maintenance and attention to detail made my stay far from pleasant. The price was reasonable compared to other options in town, but the value for money simply wasn't there.

The rooms were tiny and not clean. I found a wet used towel on the floor, and there was mold in the shower. The bed was unstable and poorly fitted in the small space.
Service

The check-in process was confusing, with no staff present except a bartender. There was no one to address concerns after hours, leading to further frustration.

Facilities were very limited, with no elevator and an unappealing coffee station. The overall ambiance felt neglected.

My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. While the location was convenient, the cleanliness and overall state of the room left much to be desired. From dirty towels to mold in the bathroom, it was not a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the lack of onsite service made things even worse, especially when facing noise issues from the bar below. I would not recommend this place to anyone seeking a comfortable stay.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location in Philadelphia was convenient to historic sites, the overall condition of the hotel ruined what could have been a nice visit. The room was dirty and poorly maintained, and the lack of proper service added to the frustration. I wouldn't recommend this place unless significant improvements are made.

The room was on the fourth floor, with no elevator access, and it felt neglected. Sheets and towels were stained, and the shower didn't drain properly. It was not a pleasant space.
Service

Service was minimal; there was only one person available to assist between 3-6 PM, and reaching out for help after that was hit or miss.

Facilities were outdated and in poor condition, particularly the bathroom, which had a shower curtain that was ripped. It felt more like a liability than a luxury.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the location is fantastic and the staff was friendly and helpful. On the other hand, the room was quite small and dated, not offering much in terms of comfort. While the price was reasonable for the area, the cleanliness and maintenance really need improvement, which detracted from my experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect for accessing all the major attractions nearby, which is a huge plus. The room I stayed in was clean and offered a fairly comfortable bed, but I found it a bit small and dated. The service was decent overall, but the lack of direct staff presence and a front desk was noticeable. It's great value for money given the area, but a few details could use improvement.
