All of the staff we met were wonderful. Doorman Warren was a delight. The room was spacious and clean. Only gripe was that if you wanted to use the bathroom with the door open for safety with small children, you couldn't. The door swung barely an inch past the toilet, but we thankfully didn't have kids. So it didn't matter too much.

This is my second time staying at this property, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I visited. I visit Philadelphia often on business, and I had two five-night stays at this hotel last year. I really appreciated the coffee and continental breakfast options being available until 11am. Often they end breakfast between 9-10 am, which is too early for me to enjoy the offerings. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return to this property the next time I am in Philadelphia for business or vacation.

Beautiful room and amazing view. Bed was super comfortable. I wish it had a mini fridge and that I could have used my streaming subscriptions on the TV. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was very good.

Very beautifully designed modern hotel with easy access to Penn and Drexel. Very short walk to 30th street station for Amtrak. Rooms are very comfortable and thoughtful with wireless phone chargers and latest in-room technology. Love staying here and the restaurant is another plus.
