We really loved our stay at the hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The room was very clean and quiet . The parking that is available as an additional option was very convenient and close to the hotel. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast and it was a nice touch to make the liberty bell waffles. We will be definitely coming back again.

Would not book again

While the property is very nice and in a great location, I was not given the double room that I booked on hotels.com. Instead they put us in a standard room with one queen bed. When I went back to the desk to ask the front desk person was not very accommodating and tried to act like I didn’t understand what I booked. I showed him the photo on hotels.com of the room showing two beds and my receipt which clearly said double queen room. He was not very friendly and told me he didn’t have any rooms with two beds . He put us in a tiny room with and queen and a pull out sofa bed which was terrible. It had a “mattress “ that was maybe three inches thick and extremely uncomfortable. I paid to have a comfortable bed to sleep in not a pull out sofa that I had to put the sheets on myself. We stayed in the room because we were from out of town and needed to sleep somewhere . When leaving the next day a room was being cleaned right next to the elevator and it was a double queen room which was clearly large and had two beds . The front desk guy really gaslighted me and acted like I was confused and that the hotel didn’t have rooms with two beds. And on top of that his attitude let me know he could have cared less to help me. I most definitely did not get what paid for. Far from it. Very disappointing.

This is a very small hotel. Small but nice. However, think about the square footage of the rooms on the listings. The rooms are VERY small. Everyone was very nice. The hotel was very clean. The parking is a bit of hike but they offer curbside drop off and pick up upon check-in and check-out. Very convenient to major historic attractions.
