laurasm Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Stayed at this hotel 3/24/3/27/05 (Easter Weekend). $54 a night on Hotwire, less the $10 coupon. Very friendly and nice staff- I called to advise we would be checking in latish, and they said no problem, confirmed that we were reserved for a King no smoking room. They graciously changed it on request to a Double Smoking room. They put us on the second floor at the end of the hall farthest from the elevator. Room was a decent size, clean, lots of towels, 3 pillows on each bed. Beds were a bit soft, but we are used to very hard beds. Coffeemaker but no fridge. A light bulb was burned out when we checked in, but was replaced within an hour upon our calling. The room was clean, the halls could have been cleaner- it looked like the maids dropped stuff off the cart and no one ever picked it up.The hotel was fine, if unexceptional. The location is FANTASTIC. It is within walking distance of everything in the historic district, including the Philly Phlash tourist bus loop about a block away. Parking is $20 per night, unlimited in and out. Checkout is at 11 am, but you can leave your car in the garage till 6 pm at no additional charge.If visiting Philly again, I would definitely stay here. For the price, it was perfect. If you are looking for luxury, this isn't it, but it was clean, comfortable, friendly and EXTREMELY convenient to everything. Link to comment
Undefined Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Stayed here September 25 - 27. Won through priceline (60$ - was bidding in increments of 5$, can't remember where I started but I had definitely tried lower).We were on the third floor, also furthest from Elevator. Room was clean and nothing was broken. Still an old CRT TV. Used the fitness room - the usual weights, treadmill, etc. Equipment was in good condition (and the TV there was a flatscreen, woo).We tried checking in around noon, but the hotel was full and they asked us to come back around 2-3pm. Still a bit early, and not a problem.Only (minor) complaints is very early maid service - knock on door came at 830am. Link to comment
