Nice Place

This is a nice place in the heart of Philly. It feels like a bed and breakfast. We got a nice room with a fireplace and huge jacuzzi tub and it was quite romantic. The restaurant is pretty good as well. The wine flights are nice and they have a very large selection of wines. The food was also quite good. There was some sort of construction or work going on that we could hear in our room in the evening but it wasn't too bad. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and we would go back again.

what a fantastic place

we stayed in this hotel for a quickie getaway on our first anniversary. i couldn't have asked for more. the room was beautiful & spacious with a great view and a jacuzzi tub that easily fit 2. the desk clerk was friendly and when i called to ask about an early check-in the woman i spoke with was warm & accomidating. the room was impeccably clean & well stocked with towels, bathrobes, soaps and the like. the property is in a great neighborhood and although it's very close to lots of bars & restaurants, it's just far enough away to not be bothered by party people on the weekends. the complimentary breakfast was sufficient. one thing i noticed was that it is kind of easy to hear the neighbors above and alongside, so if you are a light sleeper or like to sleep late that might be kind of irritating. overall i would have to say this place is near perfect. we travel frequently & stay in hotels often, so i was quite pleased to find such a place practically in our backyard. if you are visiting from out of town i would reccomend this over many of the chain hotels that charge the same if not more money for less character & convenience.

Great location, great room, great staff-small but perfect

We stayed 2 nights -called an affordable getaway making it as cheap/cheaper than some major chains. The jacuzzi king was excellent with sunrise from the bedroom window over the Ben franklin Bridge. Its at the bottom of Market St. , has an excellent bar, italian restaurant and breakfast. Only downside is currently (july 2007) there is building renovation next door but this didnt involve any noise.

Great Place!

The hotel was in a great location...so many bars and restaurants in the area. A block from the subway. We had a great view of the river and bridge from our room. The hotel bar and restaurant were very good also.
