Historic details
Hotel location is right near freeway but it is still in a beautiful, historic area—just on the edge of it. Hotel is wonderfully quirky. Bar is great with really nice cocktails. Our room had many historic touches including a gorgeous old brick wall. Staff were excellent.

Great authentic hotel in historic Phili
Great authentic hotel. Ask for a room at the back as traffic noise from I95 is constant at the front. No breakfast. Comfy room with great shower and whirlpool bath. Bins for recycling would be helpful.

By all means stay here!
What a warm and welcoming hotel! Location is wonderful - we walked to Chinatown and passed a lot of historical sites. Room comfortable and quiet. Bathroom clean and water pressure great. I would definitely stay here again. Everyone at the reception desk goes out of their way from giving directions and lending chargers to asking us about our evening when we returned.

Cool ass hotel
The staff were really helpful and really kind checking in was super simple the man at the front desk well spoken and kind to all. I really enjoyed my stay, especially with the room view. I hope to come back again the restaurant downstairs is also pretty damn good and they really are generous with the wine also the location of the hotel itself is really good in walking distance and each direction. There’s coffee shops, tourist stops, places to eat and drink a bus stop down the road and super simple for Uber to find location when I come back to Philly I plan on staying in the same spot. I don’t usually leave good reviews but man this place was great. Also the cleaning service the lady is super sweet thank you to all the staff members. I hope to visit again soon

Nicest place I’ve stayed in a long time!
I cannot wait to go back! First, parking is right next to the hotel. Second, you get an actual key on a cool gold plated key ring. The rooms are so unique. The bathroom is wonderful! The tiny balcony is adorable! Super clean! In waking distance of historic Philly, all great restaurants, and bars. Quick Uber ride to all the Philly sports. Will go there again!

Average
The accomodations were fine but the facilities were dated, and the amenities were lacking. Small details that make impact were missing. Coffee quality was not good. Water was served in the lobby with shot glass size cups. Nothing egregious but nothing exceptional.
