Attention to detail goes long way

The hotel is close to the University and several other attractions. Service can def be improved. On Sunday, I visited its restaurant and it wasn’t as pleased as I would have liked. My server appeared to have a runny nose and was snotting through the service and it made me feel uncomfortable. Also, his uniformed looked dirty and his overall appearance unkempt. Pertaining to my room, the shower was completely out of shampoo and body wash (I learned it when showering). I requested the housekeeper to service my room and please replenish the missing items. She promptly changed those, and shared she will be serving my room eventually (she never did7. Overall, I prob won’t chose this hotel again.

Very Nice Place

The Study is a boutique hotel that has a very nice lobby, excellent staff and above all very clean. Located just across the street from both Drexel University, and UPenn, it makes a great home base to walk around the campuses.
