Excellent and Safe Stay

The one thing I really notice about my stay here is how safe it is. One can go about the area any time of day with no issues. I really liked that. Overall, this was a really good stay. The room was clean and very spacious. The beds were very comfortable, and it was easy to get into and out of the shower. Now the faults. There was only one of two elevators open. So, it can be a bit busy with a wait for it. And it can also get quite full Also, the room can get quite stuffy. I found that they turn off the air conditioner, so it was easy and just a simple matter of turning it on and adjusting the temperature to taste. The soap provided for the bathroom was too small and too thin. And they only provided one. So, I used that one for the sink, and I went to CVS to get the one for the shower. Good thing CVS was a block away. The breakfast at the hotel is not free on weekends, and does cost $14. On the other hand, the selection of food and drink are ample. The seating, whether at a low table, or a higher one, is comfortable. The one thing though, is that they seem to be working on the AC in the lobby area, and does not feel as cool as I’d like. The attendant was friendly and ready to answer questions or concerns. Parking here is ample and free. I liked the channel lineup Of note, were TV channels from Japan and Taiwan. Also, there were channels in French and Spanish. There was even local television too. Checkout was a breeze, and the hotel was close to SEPTA.?

I had reserved a room with a King bed but upon arrival that kind of a room was not available (despite the fact that it was a confirmed reservation) (maybe I amd someone else hit that "book" button at exactly the same time))?). After a bit of a wait we were upgraded to a suite at no extra charge so kudos to the desk staff for that. There were a few things I did not like ... problems with the air conditioning on the main floor (A/C in the rooms worked fine) and the fact that although it says "breakfast included", that is apparently only during the week (I checked that box on my Expedia search) and we arrived Friday night. It should be very clear thst breakfast is included weekdsys only .... I found it further down the page when I looked later but at first glance it sure looked like it was included. The room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were all great.

The pool was completely green and unusable. The downstairs had no AC making the restaurant/breakfast useless. Even though there was AC in the room, it was very muggy in the room, making it very uncomfortable to sleep. Staff was rude. Expedia’s response was that the hotel won’t answer them so they can’t do anything about it.

Breakfast was ok if you’re unable to afford food elsewhere. Room was ok. Refrigerator stopped working mid stay Amenities were not as currently listed online. Location is great. Staff is nice. Would start again but only because it’s the only hotel in the area.

Your site said breakfast was included. Got there and was told that’s only in the week days. Weekends you pay. Felt like I was taken advantage of. Pillows weren’t very comfortable and I really don’t like the toilet seat up upon arrival. toilets should have closed lids. Otherwise okay.

Great location, but wouldn’t stay again

Windows had white film on the outside. Rust around light fixtures in bathroom. Breakfast/restaurant area didn’t have AC - they had two industrial fans blowing hot air around. Carpets haven’t been updated in a long time - very thin on steps down to banquet halls. Pool was closed - green and chairs in the pool.
