The room and bathroom was so comfortable and clean.. with nice modern vibe.

The walls were too thin, so even though I requested a quieter room, my neighbors had a full blown 3 person conversation from room to room at 5:45am!!!!! I was a very under the weather and was basically forced to get up Very Earl on Sat morning 😩

Staff was very helpful, breakfast was very nice, room was clean and view was amazing. I love the eco friendly and mindful focus. It was great to have gluten free healthier minded snack options and the fitness center was really nice and love the bike option. The fridge and sink and microwave were all very helpful and I support not using plastic bottles for water and having a drinkable option on the sink. By far my favorite Philly hotel.

I always hope for a little bit less of a price but it was reasonable for the area and for all that we received for the price. So I wouldn’t say I didn’t like the price just always am happy to get a discount or earn points for a less expensive stay so I could possibly stay for more than one night.

I arrived just an hour before I had to be at a concert at the Kimmel Center. I didn’t understand exactly how/where I was supposed to park the car (it is valet only): it was dark, raining, the traffic was crazy, and the street where the hotel is was partially blocked. I got on the phone with the front desk and a young woman guided me expertly. The valet staff was fantastic: helpful, courteous, considerate (they even let me access my car the next morning to change my shoes). Checkin took mere moments and I was up in my room. All staff were friendly and helpful. I was happy to discover that the $72 parking payment allowed me to stay as long as I wanted the next day (Sunday), even though I checked out of the hotel at 11. I do not know if this is SOP. Also, don’t be fooled by other parking lots that may seem cheaper…their rates don’t include tax, and the hotel’s does. breakfast was very, very nice. The room was comfortable and clean except for a few stray hairs in the shower and sink. Is it weird that if you wanted to watch streaming services you had to sign in under your own account? I dunno. I thought the price was high for one night ($230 ish) but I was told that Sat nights are more expensive than other days. You can’t beat the location if you want a Center City experience. I will definitely be patronizing this hotel again, and hopefully pay less. It is owned by Marriott, so frequent flier status might help. I think I’ll take the train next time.

The bathroom could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly.

The facility is new modern and very quiet while being just blocks from most things we wanted to do. Great Location. The employees couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend to friends.

The breakfast was more than underwhelming. Same sausage (just in different forms), eggs and potatoes every day. Very little fresh fruit. I've had better breakfasts at cheap motels less than half the price. At least they vary it a bit (sausage one day and then bacon the next. For 5 nights this was just nothing to look forward to after the second morning. No place at all to sit for 3 of the mornings. even the benches along the wall were full. Would have given the hotel a straight 10 if not for the breakfast.

Our stay was excellent in nearly every way. The breakfast was no worse than other hotels we've stayed at (I did expect better); packaged egg mixture, soy or turkey sausage (over cooked. Not that that mattered because I wouldn't eat fake sausage in any event). The fried potatoes were ok. Toaster did not toast the english muffins very well, even after two passes. The coffee was good.

I expected breakfast to be more toward the top notch.

Excellent breakfast with lots of variety! They let me check in very early so I could leave my belongings before venturing out into the city. Staff was friendly and accessible. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Great location for walking in the city.

Being in Center City, there was traffic noise during the night. The required pass card to the elevator floor was finicky and we had trouble getting it to stop on our floor.

The room was cute with a great view. Staff was very nice and location was a block away from the subway that took us right to where we need to go (this was suggested by staff which I loved).

Parking was a nightmare. Pulling up for valet with check in was horrible. 2 rows of cars, everyone was beeping at you while you waited for someone to come help. Then they gave you a card when a number to text when you need your car. We texted the number when we were about to check out and it wasn’t working so we called the front desk and they went on their computer and said they would let them know. 30 minutes later we went down with our luggage like we were told and they took our number again. There was no organization. They didn’t go in order. People that had just walked up 15 minutes prior were getting their car before people waiting for over an hour. We ended up waiting for an hour and half for our car. And for $60 a night, it could be a little more organized.

Location of the hotel was great. only the receptionist needs to give better information regarding the housekeeping service ( every other day service etc. ) and the valet service and so on. other than this we really enjoyed the stay here.

Definitely valet service. we had lots of issues with this service and hotel manager willing to compensate everything regarding this issue. however they really need to fix this valet problem.

The breakfast was really lovely, and so many items to choose from. I liked the vibe of the area, and seeing all of the families eating together. I made it down at the perfect time, thankfully my son and husband went down before me and secured a table.

I can't think of anything that I didn't care for. They were quick to refresh and refill the food and juices. The employees were pleasant and quick to do their service. It was like a well oiled machine.
