Stayed here for business and found it to be pretty good. The location is great, I was able to walk to my downtown meetings and find food and a convenience store within a few blocks. It is so close to other sights I'm sure it would be ideal for tourists. The staff was extremely courteous, and parking was easy. The internet was also very fast and free, although that might have been through an agreement with my company and not standard. Either way, good internet is not always a guarantee at tourist-minded hotels, so that was a bonus.
However it is an old hotel and my room was a little shabby. I could feel the springs in the bed, and I had to fix my own toilet when it kept cycling at midnight. I was told (very politely) that maintenance is not 24 hrs.
One note: I was not familiar with Philly when I drove in to town. The hotel is very close to the river and I missed the turn the first time, so ended up having to go across the toll bridge to New Jersey. Be on alert if you are in your car!
