Penn Parent
We stay here quite often as my daughter is attending U Penn. Location is perfect. Rooms are on the smaller side and beds are not that comfortable but overall they are clean, service is friendly and the restaurant is very good. Difficult to plug in electronic devices near the bed. I may need to branch out to other hotels as they are now starting to exploit travelers at certain times of the year. They just changed their policy to require a 4 night minimum stay at the time of Parent's Weekend at $500-600 a night. That's not cool.

Cute hotel, service just okay
The hotel is delightful in decor with bookshelves and museum cases in the lobby. My room was upgraded since there were vacancies and had a lovely second room that was a "study" - cute, but not a very good use of space. I'd much rather have coffee in the room! The mattress was kind of saggy, and the carpet had snags, but overall it was comfortable. The service wasn't as great. The first time I went for coffee in the lobby they were out of milk, and the second time they were out of milk and coffee. I had to go over to the restaurant to let them know. The morning of my departure, housekeeping knocked on the door at 8 a.m. to shout in and ask if I was checking out late. I said no and tried to go back to sleep since I was up late the night before. At check out, the woman asked if everything was okay, and I started to suggest housekeeping not wake people up, but she interrupted and basically dismissed me.

Great hotel and service
The lady at checkin was an absolute delight. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Room was big, comfortable and clean. I did find the restaurant below average so my advice is to skip that place

I thought the lighting in the rooms was poorly designed and not enough where it was needed. There was no counter top in the bathroom. And finally, there is no ice machine in the hotel - at all. Why?
