Dilapidated and in need of...
Liked: The property was a few blocks from my niece's apartment, and she and her husband were hosting Christmas this year. So, it was a convenient location. The bed was comfortable with nice pillows.
Disliked: Never saw the staff, they never attended to the room, and even upon check-out, we were told (by the cook at the restaurant below) to drop our keys in a box. No service whatsoever (yet they charge over $300 a night). The hotel is dilapidated and in need of some serious attention. The bathroom was about 55 degrees with drafty windows that we kept shoving towels in to block the cold. The toilet paper holder was coming off the wall, so every time you would go to get toilet paper, the roll would fling across the floor (we finally just sat the roll on the window ledge. The bathroom sink was concrete and stained with old paint in it, so it looked like it belonged in a garage. Neither the grinder nor the coffee maker worked. There were no hangers (when asked, they sent up a few old, bent, wire ones that could barely hold a suit jacket). The concrete floor was cracked and chipped in several places (you could not walk in stocking feet, it would ruin your socks). There was no regular TV, so you could not watch the news before bed. You'd have to log into a service, like netflix or prime, with your own account/password (didn't work for me because I have verizon fios at home, so I had no TV while I was there). There was a lip where the concrete floor met the wood plank floor by the bed that I must have tripped on a dozen times (safety hazard). And, the room was up 4 flights of stairs. which I was not prepared to climb (I have MS). I don't remember reading anything about the lack of accessibility before booking or I obviously would not have stayed there. This hotel needs to be labeled as a non-ADA-compliant establishment. But even apart from that, it is a subpar hotel in need of some serious attention that shouldn't be charging anything near what it is currently charging. It is worth more in the ($99 to $149 range). My brother and sister-in-law stayed in another room, and their experience was worse.

Poor
Liked: Location, furnishings
Disliked: Very hot in room. Air conditioner was running, but did not cool off room. The bathroom was sweltering, had to leave door open. Room was overpriced

Comfy, Huge, and amazing dinner in the restaurant too!
Liked: This is an excellent hotel with huge rooms. And the restaurant is awesome too. Not the quietest because of the train but we knew that and like the vibe! The bed is so comfortable!! Loved it.
Disliked: Could have snacks or items to use / purchase. Free or to buy would have been fine. Only had a jug of water.

great location with excellent restaurants nearby but awful facilities in the rooms and impractical
Liked: It was a great location but very noisy. The room is very industrial looking and similiar to the pictures. Some of he top Philadelphia restaurants are within walking distance. Comfortable bed.
Disliked: The room is very noisy due to the location of hte train track, restaurant being downstairs and just is general location. The internet was worse than useless which was very difficult as we were working . We could not watch any television and there was no way of contacting anyone to get any resolution. There is no hanging space in the rooms to put clothes and in the bathroom there is no stand or area to put any toiletries so we had to leave all our toilet bags on the floor and our clothes in our cases
