This hotel is very close to UPenn hospital, where I needed a procedure. The street seemed quiet at night, interesting restaurants were close by, and excellent coffee shops were scattered around the neighborhood. The staff at the reception desk exuded a welcoming attitude and went out of their way to help. The day we arrived was hot, so they had all the blinds pulled in the reception area and the lounge. This made it seem dark and dreary. The happy hour was underwhelming, with scant offerings of snacks.The continental breakfast was also disappointing. Perhaps the presentation could have been better. With the blinds pulled, we couldn’t see what was there.

The Philly Special is not continental breakfast

Everything about my vacation was elite except for the breakfast. Dry old bagels, old cereal no one eats, a small plate of fruit and awful coffee. I have no idea how a business charges what they do and offers such poor food options in the morning.
