sound proof rooms (especially higher up) are fairly effective. Although the rooms are on the smaller size, they work (especially for the price). Bathrooms are clean and large. typically, this hotel is our first option when seeing a show in Philly.

Come back again 😎

The hotel was quiet, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The check in people were very helpful and recommended a few dining options nearby and a few options when we would definitely reccame back from a late George Strait concert. The breakfast was great and the food was hot. They had a variety of cereals, yogurts, eggs, sausage and bagels and English muffins. The strong hot coffee was definitely appreciated. My only not a big deal complaint was only one kind of muffins. I would definitely recommend for a comfortable stay.

Not a good stay only staff was nice

Only the Front Desk Service was great! BODY WASH container had no soap in refilled at all only shampoo and conditioner. There was not a clean bathroom . Found someone fake big eyelash under the sink on the floor. The flat sheet had hole in it and the fitted sheet slipping of the mattress. It wasn’t put on all the way. On 5/5/25 our last night staying here THE FALSE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AT 1:30 till 3:30 woke us up and had no sleep since than at all for our flight back home . The front desk lady apologized when we were checking out at 5:30 am .

Great locations l, super friendly staff. Breakfast was ok. Didn't like that we couldn't control the in room temperature. It was a warm room and we couldn't increase the air conditioning. But we'd still stay again.
