Staying in the heart of Philadelphia doesn’t have to break the bank, and this hotel proves it. I was genuinely surprised by how affordable the rates were—better than any other option I found across the city. The location is perfect: within walking distance to major attractions, museums, and downtown hotspots. I didn’t expect such a spacious and well-designed room for the price, and it felt more like a luxury stay than a budget one. The staff were friendly, the bed was comfortable, and the overall vibe was welcoming. If you’re visiting Philly and want a great balance of value, convenience, and quality, this is the place to book. I’d absolutely stay here again.

The 24/7 self-service station in the lobby offering free hot water, ice-cold drinks, and fresh coffee—perfect for late-night or early-morning needs. When it came time to check out, my deposit was refunded instantly—something I’ve never experienced elsewhere, especially after staying in New York just a week prior where the refund still hasn’t gone through. The room itself was spacious, immaculately clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—truly made for a restful night’s sleep.
