I have now stayed at this hotel on 5 occassions when in Philadelphia on business and have just booked my next 12 night stay for next month. This hotel is a home away from home and the only place I would consider staying in the city. Close to absolutely everything and with so much to do in the area. I love Philadelphia and tend to wander out in the evenings after work for a bite or just to chill. Try Fado on Locust and 15th or McCrosson's on N20th past the Franklin Institute for some great places to chill). Also as my business trips usually include a weekend it is the perfect base from which to explore the city for the weekend. But on the nights when I still have work to do or when I just want to relax, the rooms are very well equiped with a large work desk and free wi-fi or the gym on the 4th floor, which while a little small is never too crowded and is just about right for my needs. I have had a varied selection of rooms on my travels, some larger than others but all perfect for a longer stay. The larger ones in particular (Rm 701 in December) are well fitted out with plenty of space and would be my recommendation.
Parking is a little on the expensive side and not being a big breakfast eater, it would be useful to have a Bed and Parking option for people not wanting B+B. Food is great and the service is outstanding. On my last visit I had a late flight, but wanted to wander around the town for the afternoon. Securing a late checkout was not problem at all. On previous occassions whenever I have had a question (never a complaint) the front desk staff have sorted it immediately. On one occassion a small problem with my room had been rectified by the time I made it back up!
For as long as I continue coming back to Philadelphia I will return to this hotel every time. Keep up the great work guys and see you next month.
