This stay in Philly was absolutely fantastic! The hotel’s location is perfect—right in the heart of a trendy, hip neighborhood with great vibes and easy access to everything.

Whenever I had a question, I just sent a quick message and got a reply within moments. The staff was responsive and friendly. The only minor downside was the TV setup—it runs on Roku, so you need your own streaming subscriptions to watch channels like ESPN, which isn’t super convenient if you’re not set up. But honestly, that’s a tiny trade-off for such a gem of a place. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall experience made this a standout stay. I’ll definitely be back—thank you!
