This is a rather careworn hotel. Great location across the street from the Academy of Music and within walking distance of almost everything in central Philly, it nevertheless had some serious shortcomings. Among them: strange bathroom configuration (in a 2-double room) in which the door barely clears the toilet, and reaching the toilet paper requires a contortionist's flexibility (unless you happen to be left-handed); iffy room maintenance (over 5 nights the room was made up only twice, and I had to ask for the first time!); mediocre fitness room with only one cycle (a shabby recumbent); loose fittings in one of the elevators; grotty washrooms in the bar. Staff was friendly enough, but somehow one expects more from a Hilton property. The fact that I was kept awake by loud neighbours on both sides of me was not a factor in this review.
