"Superb part of town, Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Rooftop has a heated pool and observation deck that was fun to unwind in at the end of the way. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Elevators were at the very front as soon as you walked in the entrance, so coming and going was super easy and convenient at all hours for the day. (Or night 😄) Housekeeping was polite and took care of the room in a timely manner. Will definitely return to this hotel when I re-visit Philly."
