This hotel has a prime location if you're taking advantage of the museums along Ben Franklin Pwky., it's about 7 blocks to Walnut St. & Rittenhouse Park. It has a very dated exterior, but the inside is being renovated. My room was one of the renovated ones and the furnishings are room size are very impressive. Large kitchen area, huge living room with private balcony and a nice seperate bedroom. The bathrooms are small and they're kind of stingy with the bath ammenities (one soap, one very tiny shampoo, 2 towels, etc). For a recently renovated room, I felt it could have been cleaner but housekeeping might have been in a hurry as it was a busy weekend.
There is limited room service, just deliveries from the TGI Friday's in the lobby. Breakfast is an average buffet at the restaurant, but get there early or you're not going to get in. Parking is high $31.00/
night.
The staff is wonderful, we had a problem with the video game unit in the room and it was fixed ASAP. The front desk remembered me by name when I went in and out and they spent time chatting with my young son. Even the valet was professional and courteous. All in all, a nice place worth staying at for professionals and couples but it doesn't offer much for kids.
