The property matched the photos exactly—no surprises at all. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, which made our arrival even more pleasant. While street parking is the only option, we managed to find a spot with just a bit of effort. There’s a nearby garage, but it’s not conveniently close, so we stuck with street parking throughout. Despite that, the location is great for exploring West Philadelphia on foot or via public transit. The quiet neighborhood and well-maintained space made our stay feel peaceful and comfortable. Overall, an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, authentic local vibe without breaking the bank.

While the selection is modest, the waffles are absolutely delicious—worth waking up early for.
