I was on vacation with my family in this hotel, and we had a wonderful time. The staff was super friendly, always helping to make your stay enjoyable. The location is perfect, everything is almost within walking distance. There's a very nice park just in front of the hotel. The place is very nice, the rooms are super comfy.

Joan United States of America

Perfect location. Staff went out of their way to welcome the children.

Jasmine United States of America

Classic, safe location. A perfect, well appointed room. A bowl of fresh fruit and a salted pretzel were waiting for me in my room after a terrible long day of travel.

Jeremy United States of America

The location of the hotel. Having the park across the street was a plush for traveling with our furry babies.

Jacqueline United States of America

Stayed for 5 nights and that was so memorable... Location was challenging; overlooking the Rittenhouse Square Park.. Comfortable, huge and exceptionally clean rooms.. Perfect management... Experienced and welcoming staff..

Only thing that was shocking was the half dead plants throughout the lobby. That is almost impossible to believe for such a lovely property otherwise.
