The property was absolutely beautiful. The staff was incredible. The continental breakfast was really good. The room was so quiet especially at night which I loved. If your looking to explore there's tons of things to do within walking distance no more than 15 minutes. A great experience indeed I'll definitely be back again.

We were welcomed by the nicest gentleman. We arrived early and he told us all about the history of Philadelphia and made suggestions for where to go. We were so glad he did because our tour later that day was canceled due to rain so we wouldn’t have learned much about Philadelphia if he hadn’t of spent that extra time with us! It was a very comfortable place and we enjoyed the historic nature of the hotel.
