Beautiful hotel Rooms are spacious and very clean Incredible views from the window of my room: the Pittsburgh clock tower—the tallest Masonry structure (582 feet) without a steel frame
The lobby is stunning The staff of courteous and accommodating One improvement that can be made is to the breakfast menu The cooking is a little bit bland

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any resort This site will compare countless booking websites and typically will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later! This resort is one of the highest rated in this area
I’ve been coming here for a long time If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I’m sure!Amazing service Recently stayed one night for my wife’s birthday, and we had a mixup with our reservation Long story short, The Ritz gave us a complimentary upgrade to a nicer suite after hearing our struggles Great place, Great Service, and they have a high attention to detail

I’m shocked that this property is still running under the Ritz-Carlton brand in the condition it is I am limiting my feedback to only things that CAN be immediately addressed by hotel management (and shows that they have wholeheartedly failed to perform their job):1- Rooms: peeling wallpaper, condensation stains near the AC vent, broken/loosely put together nightstands, no turndown service, flat out dirty room There were such thick dust spots on the bed frame that I’m led to believe that the room was not properly cleaned for months
Disgusting I wish I could add a picture to this review (I asked to change rooms once and the second room was in the same condition)2- Service: no acknowledgement of Marriott status/upgrades/benefits during check-in, doorman was 9 out 10 times chit chatting or not around to greet/open doors/help with luggageBased on the numerous reviews (which I failed to read before coming), the feedback above is not news to management So my assumption is that they simply don’t care (wonders of the tight job market?)I’m refraining from commenting on how dated the rooms are as the local management relies on corporate to carry on a complete property overhaul But as I pointed out earlier, all specific service and room feedback can be addressed locallyFellow business (and leisure) travelers: if you’re looking for a 5 star hotel, go to the Four Seasons This hotel is simply a Marriott-brand 3* establishment with the Ritz namePS: the lobby is nice, though

I’ve stayed at many hotels in my life (including The Eden Resort), and my stay at The Maj in Philly was by far the best experience I’ve ever hadThe pillows are the BEST pillows I’ve ever slept on in my LIFE! Dante was helpful to my boyfriend in booking the reservation India was helpful at check-in and showing us how to use the mirror
The woman who checked us out today was very courteous and asked about our stay It was very clean and comfortable The shower experience was very relaxing They have a lot of technology in the rooms too, including a Smart Mirror in the bathroom and a button to draw the curtainsDefinitely the most positive experience at a hotel
Pedro Reyes
When I selected this hotel, I selected it for its pet policy (I have a dog) and it’s proximity to the eastern state Penitentiary I had zero expectations of a good stay in downtown Philadelphia That being said, I was absolutely shocked with the quality of the facility – the rooms are all smart rooms with a ton of exceptional features I don’t typically find even in more expensive places, with everything from climate control to the smart mirror in the bathroom being controlled by your phone
In addition, the staff were an absolutely incredible breath of fresh air I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels and resorts and the staff here around the clock were some of the most professional, helpful, and courteous people I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with on a vacation Miss India, Sia, Maddie, in particular were available at all times and helpful 100% of the time If I had a question or a problem, they had a solution or an answer almost instantly 10/10 would stay at this place happily and I have no intention of ever staying anywhere else when I come to the area
Sara Jane
Clean, modern Hi-Tech boutique hybrid hotel The over all ambiance is sleek and minimalistic while still being tasteful and intimate Quality cotton bedding, towels and robes
Comfortable high end pillows and mattress Smart room features allow you to control the thermostat, TV, lights, blinds and door lock from your phone while the bathroom has a smart mirror It’s a short walking distance from museums, attractions and several great restaurants There is no parking or valet at this time and that was our only minor inconvenienceI highly recommend this hotel

Went for a wedding Staff were wonderful Lobby and elevator lobbies on each floor were dark and dismal, and don’t try to get a working iron
But it was conveniently located by historical areas and having the Market across the street was a great plus The rooms were clean and neat and comfortable All together, we were satisfied with the hotel
Michael Winton
One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! We will definitely come back next time we’re in Philly Our luxury double room was large, clean, and bright with huge windows and a stunning view of the city! Beds were wonderful, downtown location is fantastic, and without exception every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful
Raymond Manuel
Wow This hotel is really nice But I was harassed by the security while sitting in the lobby area with my bags
I was profiled, and they thought I was just using their hotel to stay warm All the while, I paid for a two night stay I explained to the guy I was waiting for my girlfriend to come down with her key to let me up Long story short, the security guard apologized, but the damage was already done!! Also, I was charged an extra $35 for a mini fridge! I really can’t understand how I paid top dollar to stay here and couldn’t even get a complimentary refrigerator Staying here was a disaster Nothing special, but the view outside of the window If you’re black, just be aware, they do profile, and it was by another black person Needless to say I will be staying at a different hotel next time, or maybe even an AirBNB (where you get a refrigerator) !! But I will not waste my money here again

Checking in was a Breeze ( I had called 1 time prior to this trip to line everything out) feather free pillows because of down allergies in the family This hotel got it right The warm reception from from the nice lady at front desk had me feeling like VIP!!! Thank you for that (Should be commended by upper management) (+1star)The room upon arrival smelled clean and IS clean
We had a short stay here to visit the Athletic Trainer convention at the convention center The layout of the smaller king was quaint and efficient (+1 star)The exhaust fan was kinda odd at firstbut it kept the room nice and cool and masked outside city noise really well Surprised really The front desk staff every morning and evening was all smiles and very Friendly (+1 star) they should be commended for being awesome!Breakfast was pretty good especially with covid-19 protocols around [Eggs, muffins, waffles, cold cereal, oatmeal, yogurt] The food/cleaning/maintenance staff all very friendly and accommodating (+2 stars)This hotel location is easy to find and surrounding area has quite a few food/entertainment options within a short walk away (+1 star)I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the beds were! Water pressure was good We enjoyed the visitWe will return!!Respectfully,The Smiths
Lindsey Ford
Be sure if you are staying longer term to get the bigger room When they say small they mean it In downtown Philly about two blocks from restaurants and within a mile of downtown attractions
The walls are very thin and you will be woke up every morning with housekeeping trying to walk into your room at 8:30 am (even with the do not disturb out) They slam the doors on all the other rooms around you so you will hear them coming When they do service the room, they will only make the beds & take dirty linens, not leave additional towels etc Breakfast is sandwiches heated in a microwave or lots of starchy items Fruit pickings were slim Highlight was the friendliness of the desk staff and the valet service They were great!
Steve Aupperle
The view from out room was a 12 out of 10 The room was very spacious and the beds were super comfortable The only reason I am giving this a 4 is because only one elevator was working and that was an issue a couple of times and there was a problem with water in the shower on the 12 floor for the first morning
It was taken care of by the second morning We had called the maintenance guy up because the bathroom door will lock if you shut the door a certain way He told us that the water thing happens occasionally With all that said I would stay here again

I hosted a celebration in the Gathering Room at the Inn at Swarthmore and the experience was perfect! Booking the space was seamless and my contact for organizing and booking, Melissa, was so helpful and responsive The space looked elegant when after set-up was complete, and the staff were amazing with everything from set-up to helping me find safety pins to secure my dress The staff even accommodated my last minute request for fresh mint and lemonade for cocktails and made sure the dessert display for my cake, cupcakes, and cookies was beautiful
The food was delicious (and there were so many options!) and plentiful The location was perfect for accommodating all of my guests because the regional rail is right next to the hotel and there is plenty of parking available I looked at 17 different venues before deciding on this one – this was by far the best value and a lot of the work was done for me I also appreciated that the estimate I received when looking around was so transparent – the fees and taxes were included so no unsavory surprises! The total bill came to the exact same as the estimate I cannot say enough good things about this experience – a true hidden gem!!! Thank you all for a truly wonderful time!
Nicole Rouleau
Absolutely loved this restaurant Its a hidden gem we never knew about! The drinks were amazing The food was so so good! Highly recommend the flatbreads and the buttermilk chicken sandwich! They hire servers that are new to serving which I think is outstanding
Giving people a chance to feel good about themselves and gain experience is wonderful Great serviceThey also have a wonderful weekend brunch – will be checking that out asap!

Andrea Iriarte
This hotel is very conveniently located It has great parking, but no valet available One can tell that this was a beautiful hotel at one point but NOTHING has been done to it and it is decaying
The bones of the hotel are beautiful, but the furniture is second rate, the decorations are scant and cheap, the carpets and curtains have seen better days While we were staying there, the fire alarm went off and it took them a long time to get the elevators running again The door was on our room would open without a key and the bathroom curtain was filthyThe hotel’s restaurant, Nineteen, is very nice, but only the inner circle is well decorated The rest of the tables look like fold awaysTo get into the hotel, one has to walk through a weird office lobby where at one point there must have been stores but now we wonky empty spacesIt is sad to see such a beautiful building go without maintenance or upkeep
Jenny Contenta
Very charming 200 year old hotel The rooms are very dark and not the cleanest I really disliked the beds, hard mattresses and now comforter on the bed
Meeting rooms are nice and large No coffee shop and no bar So much potential My lights kept coming on in my room the entire week stay Super annoying that they do not clean your room daily
Rachelle Marie
Priced high, expected it to be cleaner The room was large as we had a corner room, double bed Room furniture, carpet is all pretty aged and quite dirty
Shower drained slow and filled up the tub rather quick Hallways and carpets dirty feel We really wanted a more luxurious stay here as it was pictures and displayed so nice on the advertisements Restaurant not open for dining in, delivery fee and 5 dollar cold stale toast Parking was 40 bucks for one night! They DO NOT VALIDATE parking like some reviews say they do A bummer, but downtown near shopping

Very comfortable stay We didn’t use the kitchen but thought it was well-designed and would definitely be good as an option The location of the hotel was great for restaurants and fun
We took advantage of this and got to try out many good places around over the quick weekend getaway Breakfast in the morning was sufficient with yogurt, cereal, pastries, coffee and tea Our room was brand new with beautiful view of the city I loved the large bathroom, standard for Element hotels I also loved that they put more design elements into the room – comfortable bed, nice furniture, floor to ceiling windows Glad to see a “different” Element (in a good way) I didn’t get upgraded with my status Still a good option for staying in Philadelphia!
Corey R
***Great location Great customer service Clean rooms with great views
*** Our room had a full kitchen and 2 queen beds It was perfect for our family It doesn’t have an on site restaurant HOWEVER it is literally walking distance from a million restaurants Next door at the W hotel, there are a couple of nice lounges to enjoy if you’re into the night life vibe The ONLY downfall is the only parking option the hotel has is valet for $60/day BUT if you’re not planning on going in and out with your vehicle and just walking the city that’s not a big deal They also have a nice gym and rent out bicycles too We will be staying here again
c wilson
I debated based off of the reviews However upon arrival from check in to check out everything was amazing! Thank you to Kevin and Nature for taking good care of us for breakfast!! Thank you Natalie for accommodating my request Our location and room was awesome! I love that they had purify drinking water in the room, that was amazing
I am very picky and everything went well from the valet parking to the rooms Valet parking is $60 per day We didn’t have any problems By the way they have a very nice gym and laundry room to wash your clothes if need be for $200 I will stay here again when we go to Philly again

Very helpful front desk and check in process Rooms were very clean and stylish Amazing water pressure in the shower and they also provide conditioner, shampoo, and body wash
There’s a cute Mexican restaurant and a cute rooftop bar to check as well I 100% recommend grabbing a coffee in the AM The coffee shop inside is so cute and the service is amazing! Lastly the coffee almost has this creaminess too it I can’t explain and I only had an American iced Definitely would stay again when in Philly!
Brett
Super location, great rates, excellent service Very comfortable bed, fun window seating (fun, not comfortable) w/nice city view, good bathroom Clean
Very thin walls and laminate floors but courteous neighbors overall Originally a “Pod” hotel but better as a Hilton In-house lobby cafe is interesting and decent enough that I would visit it on it’s own merits + it offers relatively generous Hilton elite breakfast benefit
Catherine
I booked for a long weekend in December I have no complaints The place was clean, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating
Sure, the room was small, but I knew what I was booking when I looked the place up I only needed a bed and bathroom during my stay There was of course a TV as well as under the bed storage, a safe, and two drawers The bathroom was regular sized, had a very nice shower and there was a hair dryer as well This hotel is gorgeous and I enjoyed having a cafe inside the hotel I did not have any complaints during my stay Just make sure you do some research before booking any hotel, there’s no reason for people to be disappointed in what they didn’t get when none of it was advertised in the first place

We have loved our stay! The entire staff has been incredibly friendly, attentive and made us truly feel like a valued guest The design of the hotel is beautiful and slick There are so many smart and stylish details in the rooms as well as the lobby spaces and bar
The gym is fantastic, love the selection and choices…even a plyo box Hats off to the team as a hotel design is one thing but it is the customer service that really makes a stay memorable Thank you
alex gillen
My sister and I stayed at Canopy this past weekend and it was the best experience ever! I rarely leave reviews, but I felt like I had to give this place a shout out Not only is the hotel gorgeous, but the staff is amazing! From the moment we pulled up the valet parking staff was very welcoming and accommodating Our check-in experience was great and the restaurant/bar staff were awesome as well
Every time we walked past someone that worked in the hotel they asked how our stay was going and if we needed anything We will definitely return!

It was what I expected it to be, nothing more, nothing less The rooms were clean and well-equipped, but they weren’t made up (apparently they don’t do this unless you specifically request it) I used the fitness centre and really liked it
It was also great to be able to use the laundrySome of the staff at the front desk seemed really unhappy to be there
Joydeep Paul
Clean hotel and well maintained rooms even though it’s shows it’s age Right at the heart of center city it’s a great plus Parking is expensive if using the valet
There is a $15 parking spot just the next block The staff was mot what I would expect from a star hotel Anyone who does not show they are enjoying their work is a big negative in the service industry Overall it was a comfortable stay
Ian Melvin
Nice facility! Friendly housekeeping staff and hotel itself is well kept There were a bunch of people smoking on our floor but we know that the hotel has no control over what guests do inside their rooms unless reported Walking distance to so many restaurants and attractions
Warning, walk outside in the evening at your own risk Pleanty of people will stop you to try and ask for money but isn’t that in all big cities though?

What started out disappointing turned out to be a decent stay I booked our room for my cousins wedding months before I worked directly with an agent to understand the sleeping arrangements
It was booked is a queen suite so we could be in the building with the other wedding guests but would have 2 queen beds and a couch bed When we arrived they said our room wasn’t ready less than an hour before the wedding and they down graded us because they over sold the wedding rate After being a Marriott rewards member since the program first started I was disgusted and very irate I asked for the on-site manager When they reviewed my book and saw how many months out I booked they immediately put me back into the room I had booked and it was amazingly it was ready The room was lovely but the service was terrible They helped me and screwed the people who checked in right before me, also wedding quests and the family after us too Later that night a family came down for bedding for their pull out couch and the hotel gave them 1 sheet, 1 blanket and one pillow and told them that was the last pillow they hadAll I can say is that the hotel was clean and quiet and attached to the venue so that was worth it I can tell you I would only recommend this hotel if you had to attend an event at the Springfield Country club Definitely not a relaxing vacation spot

This place is huge Very clean very neat and very organized The entrance has a super big axcent wall soon as u enter with a great appealing view
All the staff was so polite and very generous The lighting was well lit everywhere chandeliers where spectacular everywhere I looked The services were all perfect the parking was abundant The food served was delicious I mean everything went perfectly well for me and my wife no complaints at all 5 stars to the venue the building the staff the food and the whole experience here

We were at the hotel for a wedding It was a festive occasion for us and we were looking forward to a great stay at Marriott hotel But there were many surprises in the wings
1) The rooms do not have lockers to store your valuables They have bank-type lockers at the check-in counter which are very inconvenient when you have to carry your valuables, including jewelry from your room to the front desk Also very risky for losing some of the stuff2) When I called in to deliver a pillow to my room, the front desk clerk refused as he was alone on duty and was not allowed to leave the desk So if you need anything after 10PM, you have to go down to front desk3) They did not have foam pillows The front desk people did not even know what foam pillow looks/feels like The bed was very soft The room was small with not much light in the room The switches are located at inconvenient places There is no microwave in the room You can use the microwave located near front desk But just like locker situation, this is inconvenient as well4) My Marriott App mentioned that I had free breakfast But the front desk said that it is wrong and they will contact Marriott to update their system I did not push for getting free breakfast after see the other issues I mentioned above5) At times there were long lines to front desk since they only had 1 or 2 clerks working there6) There was still construction going on in the hotel, but we did not hear lot of noiseNow the good part1) The staff was friendly and tried to help as much as they could2) It is located on a very nice golf course So all the golf lovers this is the place to stay if you are in Springfield, PAWe had pleasant time due to all the festivities, but the stay could have been much better

My wife and I have stayed at an AKA 5 or 6 times, the last 3 being at this location at University City in Philly We’ve obviously enjoyed our stays because we keep coming back This review is specifically about the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff
Kudos to local management This high quality staff doesn’t just happen It’s hiring the best people and training them to make their guests feel welcome 5 stars for staff on 28, at desk and management!
Grace G.
The stay was wonderful The kids enjoyed the pool and movie room, and I enjoyed the view/cleanliness of our suite EJ was AMAZING! He constantly checked on us and made sure we had a great stay
He prepared the movie room, brought snacks and water, brought towels to the pool, answered all questions I mean he went above and beyond, the customer service was great Overall a great stay!
Daiana Lucisano
We have stayed in room 3524 for 10 days and there were some problems, but the staff took care of everything with kindness and professionalism I am grateful to the general manager Sharon Bell, the sales manager Carla Caboni and the chief engineer Robert: they took care of all the problems and offered to make up for them Now we moved to an apartment in AKA and everything is fine and perfectly furnished thanks to the helpful staff that works here
Rooms and apartments are beautiful and have a stunning view over Philly’s skyline I highly recommend this place- Mizio & Daiana

Hotel was decorated in a library decor Front desk staff was friendly Needed a code to get on elevator
Down side was NO fridge, microwave or coffee maker in room Also, NO vending machines or ice makersIf ice was needed you need to go to the restaurant when it was open King room was comfortable Loved the glass walk in shower
Rhi Alyxander
-no fridge (except a beat up one we found in the hallway the cleaning staff let us take in our room
yes, I’m 100% serious)-Mac couldn’t connect to wifi until I took it out of my room down to the lobby It was clear that management is aware of this problem, staff are frazzled from having to deal with it, and there is no plan to fix it We were told that it is Apple’s fault, not theirs Like other hotels haven’t figured out how to accommodate Macs-checked us into the wrong room-no free breakfast-free morning coffee is always empty with no one around to refillYes it’s clean, and the poor management gives the staff many opportunities to be friendly How is that adding up to an average rating of 46? I am baffled

An overall fair experienceTo start, I had reserved a king room a few weeks ago On arrival at 5:30pm, was informed that no kings were available
We were given the option of taking an immediately available double queen or waiting for the king We had a concert to get to in less than two hours so we opted for the double queenThe room was at least very quiet, but it really looked pretty worn See the pics below for the quite worn desk chair, rusty hardware on the furniture and what I can only assume was a missing shower caddy? on the shower wall leaving a residue of adhesive Felt more like a two star motel rather than a 3 star hotel roomThe lobby area was quite nice however, and they serve cookies at night in the lobby, which is a “sweet” touch The hotel is also within walking distance of a Target and several chain restaurants which was convenientOverall, relatively affordable but I probably would not stay again unless I had a worse experience at a nearby hotel

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any stay This web site will compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices a lot cheaper compared to others! You’re welcome :)! This place is one of the most well known in the area
I have been coming here for a long time If you choose this place you definitely won’t regret itBeautiful hotel, well kept, clean, excellent service, great location for what I went for will definitely stay again if I ever visit Philadelphia again Employees very attentive and friendly

ROOM: I was extremely happy with the room accommodations I got a 2x queen bed room Lots of lighting, desk / counter space, and closet space
Mini fridge actually got coldSERVICE: There was no room service unfortunately the weekend i stayed There was one housekeeping staff that was extremely rude and attempted to literally walk through me near the elevators as i rounded a corner It was a moment of a game of “chicken” The service staff in the lobby at the reception and at the breakfast were excellentLOCATION: very safe, with frequent night patrols by hotel security, which i appreciated The hotel is tucked away in an area with nice grass and trees Only minor downside is that it is not in center city itselfOVERALL: would return

Wow! Where to start?! This hotel is absolutely stunning We cannot express enough how wonderful their staff is as well They went above and beyond to correct a minor inconvenience and were extremely helpful with returning an item back to me that was left at the hotel
The pool, bar, spa, rooms, atmosphere, etc are just top notch You couldn’t ask for more My husband and I enjoyed every second of our stay and we are looking forward to getting back to the Four Seasons soon Again, the staff is just fantastic and we highly recommend this beautiful hotel 11/10!
Thu-Nga Ortega, DDS, MAGD
Wow, this hotel is amazing and customer service is top notch! There’s always a service person in the hallway almost anytime you open your door to provide you with anything you may need in your room They also have ice service to your room which is a plus There is bed turndown service as well
The bathroom has the best shower with strong pressure! The closet is like a changing area which is nicely separated front the bedroom area Everything is super plush here only suggestion is that they provide better toilet paper in the rooms Considering how upscale this hotel is, this is definitely a must
Taylor Weese
Posting on behalf of a friend who was too shy to do so – the hotel itself and service is lovely and exceed expectations The elevators, or should I say elevator, needs to be assessed and addressed How can such a luxurious hotel think the current system works? The amount of people and floors and what are labeled “smart” elevators create an unnecessary wait for a simple trip
Desperately needs improvement If they’re going to have two for the whole hotel, at least make sure they both work all the time! Otherwise fantastic

My husband and I just stayed a night at the Hyatt, and I’ve stayed before We loved it The staff are wonderful, the rooms clean and lovely, beautiful view, quiet, it’s a fantastic experience
Things some have complained about are either no issue for us, or things we like The sensor light under the bed was a welcome feature, and goes off right away – my husband was up several times during the night and it never woke me, but was of great help for him We like the toilet having it’s own separate space, no smelly showers!😂 And the sound from the air/heat in the toilet space minimal Love the complementary water, refrigerator, and keurig coffee maker nice also You need to turn onto Chancellor Street to unload All hotel parking is expensive downtown, we found a lot much cheaper that was a four minute walk away, something to consider And there are so – many – restaurants nearby, including incredible pizza across the street Highly recommended

We booked our wedding room block at the Hyatt Centric Philadelphia and had a great time We booked the big suite for ourselves and i was perfect for getting ready, hosting people for a glass (or bottle) of wine, and having plenty of space to stage stuffThe room block was good rates for the new hotel
We especially were very thankful to the doorman, Sean, who many guests said was very helpful throughout their trip He helped people find our shuttle in a difficult pickup location and was a great friendly face to see at all hours Stay there just for him!
Niaya Thompson
In January, my cousins and I stayed at this hotel for a night during Christmas break vacation I definitely enjoyed staying at this hotel Our room was spacious, clean, and had a modern look
I was bit bummed about two things: price for overnight parking and expensive breakfast Parking at the hotel was a bit expensive and valet parking was the only option We tried to find nearby parking before parking at the hotel, but there was no availability elsewhere I wish the hotel served free breakfast, but I have to understand every hotel does not Overall, the customer service at the Hyatt was superb Everyone was sweet and made our night stay enjoyable There were so many restaurants and things to do near our hotel as well

The staff at the Windsor suites are amazing!! The care, concern and attention they give to their guests is outstanding!! From the lobby assistant; Treviare, housekeeping; Ivy & supervisor Josh, up to management; the wonderful Ms Stephanie I must say there wasn’t a staff member that we encountered that wasn’t pleasant, friendly, accommodating and welcoming
My husband and I have stayed here every year for the past seven years and they have never disappointed us We love this placeWhen you’re in Philadelphia or already live in Philadelphia, and need an excellent hotel to stay at, trust me the Windsor Suites would be an excellent choiceKeep up the great work you guys!!
Brandon Caudill
The Windsor Suites was the perfect place for a last minute stay in Philadelphia We especially appreciated the pet-friendly policy and easy parking Our room was affordable, spacious, had a great view (see picture) and even came with a small, fully functional kitchen
We made use of the small fridge, wine glasses and bottle opener, but I imagine this would also be a great room for a longer stay The location is perfect and we were able to walk to any museum, restaurant or coffee shop we wanted to visit We had no issues with the temperature of the room, but the weather is also very mild this time of year Also, the pool and rooftop deck were closed for renovations This wasn’t a big deal for us, but it would have been nice to have a heads up about this before booking
Javi P
Staff and location are great Parking is reasonable for downtown However pictures are not what we had in room
Pics on website are much nicer! Also, you cannot control AC/heat in the room Depending on the season, either the AC or Heat is on You personalize cannot control the temp Only option you have is to turn it off, open window or ask for a fan Also Pool and Deck are closed during season but not mentioned on website There was also someone personal shampoo bottles left in the shower when we checked inCall before booking to see what is open, etc

Nice hotel with affordable rates and great service The pool is somewhat of a nice perk in the city The lobby has a nice steakhouse and very lively bar
However, the bathrooms appear dated The valet folks are nice but take forever to get your car They don’t even let you call down for your car—so be ready to wait 45-60 min The only reason we would stay here again is because of the great hotel staff!
Brooke Morgan
Didn’t get to enjoy the pool since it was closed for the season (stayed in October), that would’ve made my visit! The room was nice, we had a corner, so we had a little view down the road instead of just an airshaft Bustling hotel, seemed like a lot of folks were visiting to enjoy a sporting event, but I was present for a wedding Like others have said, the valet was indeed very slow
I’m glad I didn’t need my vehicle except for at checkout Lots of the amenities had been suspended due to COVID, so I’m not sure I really got the full hotel experienceand I could’ve done with a larger bathroom for sure It got really humid in the room after showering All in all, I think I enjoyed it mostly because I had a wonderful companion and was there to celebrate something special The post-wedding brunch catered by the hotel was good I was given gluten free pancakes by special request!
Max Schuelke
Room service was lack luster The shower temperature wasn’t consistent, even if you didn’t touch the knob it could do from warm to scolding hot in just a few seconds Furthermore the pool had so much chlorine I almost threw up when I inhaled too much
The bed was fine but the pillow were to firm and my neck was so soreIt was in a good location, and the front desk person was incredibly nice and accommodatingUnder normal pricing this would be a 3/5 but the price is way to high for the less than adequate convenience and comfort Would not recommend compared too other hotels

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first when I walked in because it is not at all your typical hotel It’s basically a residential townhouse that was converted into a guest hotel There was no elevator and Although it wasn’t ideal carrying 3 bags up to the 3rd floor, once I got there I was quite content
The room was spacious, the bed was huge and it was very unique The antique decor was charming and it was pretty quiet It was an easy walk to city center and I managed to find parking right around the corner on the street One thing I will say was that the hotel was advertised with free parking on bookingcom That was false but I informed Brittany and I have faith she will take steps to correct that
J. Inglesby
This place is absolutely AMAZING!! I can honestly say that I have NOTHING bad to say at all in any way shape or form! It’s beautiful! It’s got an Amazing view of the Philly skyline from the Summer Breeze Suit! The area is very safe day and night We parked our car at a parking garage and walked everywhere all different hours I have NEVER stayed anywhere nicer to be honest! I think, for the area you are in and the beauty of this place the price is just right!If your looking for a place to stay that you can enjoy a TRUE Philly experience, this is it!I highly recommend this place!!! It is near many restaurants, bakeries, bars, shopping
Literally everything! There is a kitty there that I do believe lives with the woman on the first floor He occasionally comes out and roams around He’s a sweet little man and he will gladly show you to your room Such a sweet little fella! That was definitely a pleasant surprise!Brittany is a very sweet person She is who I dealt with before and after my trip I initially wanted to rent the pink room , however, It was unavailable due to remodeling So Brittney worked something out and we stayed in (what I now can say) the BEST room! She definitely hooked us up for sure! She is awesome!!I recommend using the spothero app for parking It’s super easy, we parked on Washington Ave I also definitely recommend the Morning Glory Diner for breakfast It’s just down the street and awesome!!
Billie Jay
We rented the Skytop room as an overflow during a family vacation The location could not have been better Just a 5 min walk from where my grandchildren live
Communication with Barbara and Brittany was excellent and the decor was so charming, reminiscent of a bed and breakfast from long ago with all the antiques There is a lovely garden that we visited but never really took advantage of that I would highly recommend for drinking your coffee or an evening glass of wine
