Ok stay
This hotel is located in the perfect location. We were in town for a surgery at Penn Presbyterian Hospital and this hotel was just a few blocks away. We've stayed here once before and it seemed a bit less cared for this time. Our room had an unpleasant odor to it and the carpet hadn't been vacuumed. On the positive side, when my daughter was discharged earlier than expected, the hotel agreed to refund us for one night's stay. I appreciated that.

Checkin was a breeze, as always. Only issue was hot tub was broken (whole reason for staying at this particular hotel). Other than the hot tub issues everything was exactly as expected and quite nice.

Disappointed with having to pay $45 a day to park.
We didn’t spend much time in the hotel because my father was having heart surgery done. But the time that we did stay there to sleep and have breakfast was ok. We had to wait 45 minutes for towels and the breakfast was not so great. But the hospital that my dad was in recommended this hotel so we stayed there. It was $245 a night and we had to pay $45 a day for parking which I believe that if you are a guest for the hotel it should be included. The staff was very nice. But dry out pull pork for breakfast is not something that I would want for breakfast. Our door was very hard to close and also to open I did report it to the front desk.

Property was easy to get to, Valet was a treat with traveling into the city with two littles. The room was surprisingly very spacious, the closet door was stuck so we didn’t move it in fear of messing it up and a few stains on the curtains but, very nice!

Great trip.....small things off
Great customer service the whole time!!! They even opened the breakfast area so we could try to see the fireworks!! Great location. We walked from Amtrak station. The pool had a crying screaming toddler for almost 30min till we walked out, thats just bad fellow guests. The pool didn't look the cleanest, let the kids play but i stayed out. The room was great for family of 4! Almost full size fridge was great, and utensils, saved us! The pull out sofa had some sort of big stain that looked like a bad clean up job of blood or poop! Again amazing customer service and nicest staff!!!

Acceptable
It is acceptable for this room price, I recommend to have more varieties with the breakfast, maybe you can charge a symbolical money to customers, to me it really doesn't matter.

Ok but could improve
It was ok for the price. Good sized room in a not so new hotel. Valet parking is $45, but you can park on the street if it is a weekend. Pool was good. Hot tub wasn’t functioning. The breakfast was ok. But those eggs; they tasted like plastic.

Will not stay again.
Room smelled. Moved to a new room. Also smelled. Dirty carpets had not been vacuumed in ages, rips in the rugs, food sprayed on walls and ceiling, room not equipped at all. Ice maker not working. Shower knob not working. Altogether a terrible disappointment. Breakfast food was old and stale.

The property is quiet and clean. Staff is not very friendly but they were efficient. Rooms were clean except for the pullout sofa bed. The pillows on the bed were small and not comfortable.
