Super clean and comfortable and excellent breakfast and coffee. It's in the heart of the city so there's a fair amount noise like in any city. Sirens and cars with illegal exhausts racing through the streets late at night.

Very convenient location! About 1 mile from 30th street station. Easy walk if you don't have luggage, or short uber ride. Right near many main sites like City Hall and Reading Terminal Market. Endless dining and shopping options. I wish they had the evening reception on the nights we were there, but it's only on certain nights. I did appreciate the water and fruit available in the lobby!

Overall, the property was really good. But you as Expedia need to change your parking instructions that you email. You said if planning to go valet to go directly to the garage on 15th St. and that is 100% incorrect. You were supposed to go to the front of the hotel and not into the parking garage as it is a one way and they were highly upset. Please adjust your instructions on your end as I brought it up to them and they said That that is not something they have ever told anyone to do.

Ask for Greg!

I really enjoyed my time there. I basically asked and received. The receptionist, Greg, was amazing. I asked for food recommendations, a room with a view, and he made me feel so special. The view I received was also one for the books. Check it out!

Not good experience

The hotel is not as expected. Inside the room the curtain was broken not able to be rolled up or down to adjust height. The shampoo was finished in the midst of showering which caused great inconvenience. The shower room floor was very slippery with no handle. Central air was very loud and if you turned to auto fan it’s on and off and could wake you up from sleep. Do not expect anything good from the complimentary breakfast.. it’s super crowded and the food was just plain w limited choices.
