My children and I stayed here for spring break.
The negatives were the hotel needs to be refurbished and updated. The positives were the location and helpful staff. The hotel is located within walking distance to the major sites in the old city district. We had to switch rooms because our room lock was not working, but they comped us breakfast to compensate for our inconvenience.
If you want a reasonably priced hotel within walking distance to the major historical sites then this is your place.

The staff was fair, at best. Not very helpful and rather lazy was the impression I got. The hotel was busy due to the New Year's celebrations, and the staff seemed unprepared for the number of people they would be forced to interact with.

The parking is in a garage attached to the hotel, and it comes at a pretty penny. Here is the catch...you get no parking priveleges because you are a hotel guest. Imagine my dismay when I had worked a 12 hour day on New Year's Eve and returned to the hotel to be told the garage was full?? With public parking, nonetheless! Excuse me?

The rooms were small and dank, and the entire property smells like it needs a good scrubbing. Actually, cleaning house from the ground up -- structure and staff-- would do wonders for this location.

We traveled to Philadelphia for a medical procedure for our daughter at Shriners. This hotel is in a good location and also the restaurant is great. We loved the variety on the menu and they have fabulous choices for children (including grilled chicken and veggies). The restaurant is casual so you can go in with children and feel comfortable doing so. Our room was spacious and nicely appointed. The staff were all quite friendly. Especially, Brandon in reservations, and also, Connie in the restaurant. We will be back.
