I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were cute with a nicely updated bathroom. The service was top-notch, from the bellhop to the manager, and I even got the receptionist to come own the door - talk about service! The location was perfect in a delightful area of Philadelphia's city center. The dining experience was a delight, with mouth-watering dishes served. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.

The hotel has a lovely charm with its cute rooms and nicely updated bathrooms. The availability of wine in the late afternoon is a nice touch. However, the antique furniture may not be everyone's taste, and there could be more modern amenities for convenience.
