The property was nice, the location was good, and the theme was cute; however, the price to get anything beyond basic service was a bit too much for my budget.

The hotel was nice. We were there for football camp at UPenn. It’s truly waking distance. My main complaint about the hotel is there is not a mini fridge….not even an ice bucket! With being there for football, I needed to keep my son hydrated and it would’ve been nice to have some snacks to keep cool.
