Very Nice Place

The Study is a boutique hotel that has a very nice lobby, excellent staff and above all very clean. Located just across the street from both Drexel University, and UPenn, it makes a great home base to walk around the campuses.

Liked cleanliness. Loved the room service! Don’t like lack of a mini fridge, or lack of an exhaust fan in bathroom. But great spot and very excellent staff.
