The property was as advertised in the photos. Loved the space. The kitchenette was nicely stocked with dishes and a nice little coffee/tea station. . The amenities were thoughtful and helpful. The property is well maintained. My only warning would be: watch the stairs! There are a lot of them and the outdoor stairs can get slippery.

It was okay at best. Loud, even during the night, with a bathroom door that doesn’t even close and a shower with plumbing issues. I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s okay for 1 night.

This was the worst rooming experience I’ve ever experienced. The room was over 80 degrees hot, but the hotel staff locked the AC, saying that it is still winter and that we are not allowed to touch the AC. Nights were so hot that we could not sleep. I will never be returning to this hotel, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone.

Great boutique hotel in West Philly

No frills and easy access to the room. Room was clean and had modern amenties. Location at 40th and Chestnut was perfect. Note there is no hotel staff on site but everything is done via text. I only wish they bad luggage storage after check out but otherwise an amazing stay!

Room was uncomfortably warm and AC would not switch to cool. I opened the window and that helped cool the room. The shower drain was clogged and the water did not drain. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drinks were very appreciated.

It was great except I didn't know we were on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. So, we had to haul 5 different pieces of luggage up 3 flights of stairs to our room. Otherwise, a great stay. Very clean. Centrally located.
