Very busy hotel. Staff was courteous. Parking on the lot is not included and is an extra charge. Room was not comfortable. We asked for extra pillow. Fire lights flashed all night. Was an average stay.

Overall, pleasant stay in walkable area. The bathtub drain backed up but it was fixed after the first day when I told them about it. I realized on my last day the room phone didn’t work. The first day I threw away the toilet paper roll, as it was, ahem, unhygienic. But all else was clean!

Great place to stay
Good location, walkable to the convention center and Reading Terminal. The room had a fun, modern Midcentury Modern vibe. Pleasant staff. Just a heads up if you plan on using the parking garage attached next door. It apparently is possible to have to wait up to 45 minutes for the valley to retrieve your car. This did not happen to me. I was able to get my car in 5 minutes. However I guess it is possible that they sometimes get backed up so I don't know if it would be helpful to request your car before you need it.

Good central location, good transport access.
Rather noisy (weekend 8am) - from within. Windows insulation (acoustic) could be improved.

Superbowl weekend fun!
Wonderful atmosphere, bar service, desk professionals...only complaint was not being told we couldn't park ourselves and valet isn't optional in that lot next door. I tend to forget things in the car but all was well. Great place for my therapy animal as well. Park 4 blocks away. Also the microwave was not included= $25 fee. Great Superbowl bar atmosphere!
