Hotel was extremely accommodating of our late check in. Room was lovely and clean with very comfortable bed. Coffee making facilities was great and coffee was in our room was much better than the coffee served with the breakfast which was disappointing. Limited choice and the hot options were far from hot. Overall a good hotel, with very helpful staff but the breakfast let it down.

The AC is really bad or did not work in the room we were in.
There is a super bright light on the light switch that does not turn off. Really really bright.

We arrived around 1pm, got into our room, and something came up around 5pm in DC and we needed to cut our trip short. We left before we stayed the night.

Good location. Staff was nice. Breakfast attendant was outstanding. Breakfast food was good. Needed medicine but the hotel supply cabinet was out. Room description said we had a microwave but we didn’t so we had to eat out more often rather than heating up leftovers. That was disappointing. Overall ok stay.

The hotel is in excellent condition, with lovely decor that is classic with modern accents. It was a very easy walk to the riverfront and dining. Staff as professional and helpful. I never heard anyone else while in our room. The price was reasonable for a nice place with breakfast.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is located within walking distance of many historic sites. The walk to the parking garage is not far at all. I was very pleased with my stay.

Ideal hotel to visit sites
Adorable entry and lobby. Small but cozy and comfortable room. Excellent staff. Perfectly located. Love it! We are in Philly enroute home and made a quick one night stop so my son could see the Bell etc. Could not be better located and he became a US history buff overnight!
