nice place, good breakfast, bad parking

We booked our stay here to see the Phillies take on the Astros to begin the 2011 season. The hotel was located within walking distance from the Philadelphia museum of Art (Rocky stairs) and a quick 10 minute walk to lots of shopping at Liberty Center. Hop on the Broad Street Line to go to the sports complex, about 8 dollars per per round trip. The hotel was very nice and clean, and had awonderful breakfast buffet. The rooms were very spacious and well kept. The water was rather hard, but this is a Philly problem. My only complaint is with the parking. 42 dollars a night with valet only parking. There are cheaper options right around the hotel, 28-32 a night. Not much better, but better nonetheless. All in all, I enjoyed my stay, but will definitely be looking for a cheaper parking option in the area!

Good Solid Stay

Courteous, efficient valet parking. $42 to park all in overnight which seems steep but par for the course. Suite was very nice and spacious w/ 2 doubles, 2 tvs, kitchenette, seating area etc. Buffet breakfast was a little hectic and crowded but they kept bringing out the food. Managers reception was very good.

This Place is GREAT!!

This is the best suite we've ever stayed in!! The rooms are HUGE!! Well appointed, with a table and four chairs in addition to a desk with a separate pull out rectangular table. The wet bar, bath, nightstand and occasional tables are all granite surfaced. Nice touch! The king-sized bed felt fantastic! The manager's reception includes an open bar, and the complimentary breakfast, at in-house TGI Friday's, is full-menu buffet. What's not to like?!?! We've found our hotel in Philadelphia. We'll definitely stay here again!

Outstanding Hotel

I have stayed here several times now and each time I marvel at how professional, courteous and helpful the staff is at this hotel. When I checked into my room, the refrigerator wasn't working. It was replaced in a half-hour. I don't know how they do it- but this hotel is a model of how to treat guests.

Outstanding Hotel

There are not enough superlatives to describe my most recent stay here. The staff is superbly helpful. When a guest left an elevator early because a staff member was getting on, the staff member left the elevator to call the guest back. The rooms were spotless and well detailed.

There is a Trader Joes not too far from the hotel - close to 22nd street. It is a good place to stock up on items you may need.

Don't over look the great Asian dining just two doors away. Head south a few blocks to the Rittenhouse Square area and find great dining options.
