The Conwell Inn
The location was very convenient and the staff were helpful. The room was nice but the bed was very uncomfortable - way too soft. There was no place in the bathroom to set toiletries, not even a toothbrush. And there was no full length mirror.

Sosuite at Independence Lofts - Callowhill
The support team lacks humanity and it takes days to resolve issues. Once they have your money they dont care. I only stayed 3 hours.

The Frankford Fishtown
Amenities were great and stay cozy team was very responsive. Parking was a disaster, which was the only drawback.

Anna & Bel
We stayed here while in town for a wedding that was nearby. Pretty amazing that this place is in Fishtown, a residential neighborhood of Philly. When you walk in, you're transported to another place. Beautiful rooms, great service.
