Awesome unit, convenient to the...
Liked: The apartment itself was spacious and had a ton of closets to store luggage, winter coats, and other items. There’s an Aldi right next door which is super convenient for picking up snacks and drinks. Great views of the city and convenient to the Met. We didn’t use it but there is a SEPTA stop right outside. This would also be a decent option for visiting Center City if you are good with public transportation or don’t mind getting your steps in. The beds were comfortable and the unit was well stocked with towels and linens. The kitchen was decently appointed but there were no filters for the coffee maker. I wouldn’t cook a big meal here, but enough for fixing snacks and quick bites. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. The lobby is gorgeous and well maintained. We felt very safe. You need a key card or to be buzzed in to get in the building. The elevator is past the desk and requires a card as well. The neighborhood is definitely a big city locale on a busy city street, but even walking back at night with kids we felt safe. We live adjacent to a big city so it is not a big deal to us but if you are rural/suburban, expect city noise. The hotel does supply earplugs and eye masks. Limited restaurants in walking distance and the 2 in the lobby are $$$$. Tons of options via DoorDash. Photos accurately reflect what the units look like.
Disliked: One of the toilets was broken and didn’t flush at all. We didn’t discover it until late as we checked in then went to a show and dinner. It did make me wonder how well it was cleaned (would have been discovered) but the unit appeared to be very clean otherwise.I asked about early check in and was told I had to call the day of and see if it was possible. I did and still couldn’t be guaranteed either way. We showed up slightly before 3 and were able to get into the unit. I explained we had tickets to a show at 3, which being right down the block from the theater has to happen a good bit.It wasn’t clear from the description that the “office” is an alcove off one of the bedrooms and not private. It worked for us as we were all family, but would be less than ideal if being used as a true 3 bedroom. One bedroom was right off the main living space with a queen bed. The other was very private with a king and the office alcove. The fold out bed was easy to operate, and comfortable. Even with the bed open there was space to move around. It was also unusual that we had to do all the trash removal and cleaning tasks. Felt more AirBNB than hotel. Parking is non-existent. We lucked out and found street parking super close but any of the lots nearby are upwards of $50 a night. The parking discounted by the hotel is 3 blocks away and across a busy street. Not really convenient for bringing in luggage. I’d advise anyone staying to look for street parking.

Definitely would stay there again....
Liked: The place was convenient to everything and the aldi next door was handy. Public parking could be better explained but on the weekend we stayed was easy to park around the side streets or out front. The shower water pressure was excellent. The room spacious (had corner suite). Was nervous about food buying service (bought ahead of visit and provided to room) but they chose fruit and products well.The hotel itself has great charm and was a wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it.
Disliked: Mysteriously the hot water cut out on the second morning suddenly and we had no time / interest to resolve. The room wasn’t made up after our first night. Not sure why.
