Not much there

I was not surprised by the type of room, but was annoyed that the shower did not work properly and the bathroom did not have any heat.

Great Location

The location is great, close to all historical attractions. There are plenty clubs and restaurants around this area. But, the hotel room is too small for the price that you pay

Great location but a little noisy

The staff was great- very friendly and helpful. Location is great for people that want to be near the common tourist attractions in Philadelphia and the night life. The hotel is a historic building so it's very quaint and cozy. The continental breakfast was very well put together and a definite "value add". Unfortunately I was on a ground floor room and it was VERY noisy at night.

Wonderful, historical hotel

This is a great hotel in a perfect location for touring the historical sites. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall plus other attractions are just a short few blocks away. They also have a nice european morning buffet featuring do it yourself Belgian Waffles. Yummy!

Great time was had by all, well by us.

Great location for tourist sites in Philly. Room was smaller than what you get with new hotels, but this was offset by the setting, charming 1800's building in the scenic, Colonial part of Philadelphia. Historic Colonial buildings all around. Great restaurants nearby. Worked out better than I had hoped. Best Western Breakfast and Tea in the lobby 4-6.

Beautiful historic hotel

Needed a hotel room for 2 nights to see a concert. The hotel was beautiful, historic and the service was great. I felt very welcomed and safe while I stayed there. I recently stayed at a Super 8 in New Jersey, and the room was a good size but it felt very damp inside the hotel room. This hotel room in Philadelphia was very small, but for 2 nights it was perfect. We could adjust the temperature in the room and the window with the dark curtains kept the light out of the room in the morning. I would recommend this room for tourists who are staying a short time.
