Great Value

I've stayed at this hotel three different times I've never had a bad experience. This is a low/no frills hotel but the rooms are very clean never found as much as a toe nail on the floor and I do check everything before I leave. The room was spacious with a TV with cable, AC, a desk and chair, and two living room chairs. The hotel has off street parking for free which is a major cost savings for those who can navigate the public transit system to get in the city. There is no restaurant or food on premisis but there are a wide variety of places to eat within a two block radius of the hotel. There were some small issues like the shower door opening seemingly on its own. But for me it wasn't even an issue I was concerned enough to mention to the staff. Overall, if you are looking for a value hotel that is within 15 minutes of center/university city (20 by public transit) this is one of the best values in the area.

Would stay again

Funniest stay in a 2 week cross country vacation. Check-in guy was very friendly, room was close to Philly for a day trip and close to Target for supplies/food. Unfortunately it was raining and walking into the lobby (which is very strangely set up- the desk faces the convenience store which abuts the driveway) the tiles were extremely slippery and I felt like i was going to splay out on the floor while taking tiny, slippery baby steps to the elevator. The decor in the room reminded me of a paint store explosion, and I felt the decorator went to a motel supply convention and threw a bunch of "up and coming" items that were "all the rage" together in a nonsensical way. For example two black-out shades were put up without that side tracks that make the shades effective- the desired effect blocking light from the sides and middle. The light up mirror was on the same switch in the bathroom as the overhead shower light, making the differing light features practically useless. There were no shelves in the shower and one of the two sliding doors had been (broken? Never installed?) meaning we stored shampoo/soap on the top of the shower door track and the kids kept forgetting, sliding the one door across and knocking everything down. The parking garage was difficult to navigate in anything larger than a mo-ped, but there was a full sized van down there and gone when we left- so, possible, i guess. Breakfast juice downstairs, kurig in clean room. Bed comfy, cigarette burn in bedspread

Really solid location close to the city center just a short (and pretty cheap) Uber ride away. Got there pretty late but check-in was really smooth. Super clean & nice bathroom!

The gentleman who checked us in was nice; they had cancelled our reservation, but he called and got it fixed. The parking was already full, so several of us had to park across the 6 lane street with a walking timer that didn’t work. Our key card wouldn’t work by the time we got to our room. The smoke detector battery started beeping at 7 am. The shower was very low pressure and hot water was confusing to get. Clean room and beds. Quiet to sleep. Inexpensive compared to larger hotel chains around it.
