Room was pretty good, and the service was good. Water bottles were free, room temp or chilled. Only negatives were the lack of free parking, lackluster gym, and I also found a cigarette bud in my car, which was up front in the valet area, which is not cool.

One of very favorite places to stay in Philadelphia. A little noisy this time—doors slamming shut at intervals during the night. We don’t remember this happening in the past but it was very disturbing to our sleep. The staff is great, beds very comfortable + rooms clean!
