After reading the reviews we were looking forward to our stay and were not disappointed. The lobby is welcoming the guys behind the desk were very friendly with lots of advice and tips about where to eat. We parked our car in a nearby car park and paid a discount rate. We were lucky to park right outside to unload but i imagine this might to difficult if at busy times of the day. The rooms were not large but had everything you could need and were very nicely decorated. Bathroom more of a wet room was also not particually large and almost no space to put out any toiletries on but adequate. We stayed on one of the hottest day and the A/C did struggle a bit to keep the room cool. It has a great location walking distance to the Liberty Bell and Indepedance Hall and although the immediate area seemed very much a cafe culture with plenty of resturants just outside this looked a litle run down.
Breakfast was great in the main reception room with a fair choice. The boutique had lots of nice touches from fresh flowers, artwork, soft furnishing and comfortable furniture. The free internet was very fast although not sure about the placement it was cornered off with a screen in the gym. Our only hiccup was the fire alarm going off at 1.30am in the morning and the staff not really being much help with information and instructions. It turned out to be false alarm, which i was glad about as only half the guests took any notice and left the hotel to wait for the fire truck outside, which arrived about 10 minutes later. About 45 mins later went back to our room to try and get back to sleep.
All in all would recommend this hotel excellent value and service.
