    Would have liked a powder room, access to room service could be more efficient and Manager on last day could be less abrupt when speaking to guests and more like the previous courteous Manager (Julie?). When I requested a late check out he said we had to pay the rate for half a day, but it would only give us an hour and a half more time which did not make sense.

    Staff who received us very polite and helpful. Accommodations was clean and well designed for our use.

    The chairs at the small dining table were a bit flimsy.

    The location is excellent. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Wister and his colleagues at the reception were very helpful, friendly and professional. The restaurant was also very good.

    It was quite expensive versus the other hotels in the area, and I’m not sure the extra space warrants the extra charge over a 2 Queen room - at least for a short stay (we were only there 4 nights).

    Location was fantastic, and the 2 bedroom suite provided plenty of room for the whole family (two private bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms plus a nice living area). The staff at the front desk were also very friendly and helpful.

    The shower pressure was quite weak and not as hot as I would have liked it to be.

    Spacious rooms with nice facilities located in the centre of the city. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. There's also a gym and cinema located inside.

    I have no complaints at all. My only suggestion for improvement was that rhetorical sofa in our suite was very uncomfortable .

    The location is excellent and the hotel itself is quiet, clean , and very comfortable. The staff is always so friendly and wonderful. It is easily my favorite Philadelphia hotel .

    It is in an older building which has been carefully modernised. However a few things not fixed in the works. Electrics are poor. Our ling room had no light switch - you had to use a floor lamp. Equally the bedroom was switch operated the bedside lamps but only from the door, not the bed. And the light was poor for reading. No other lights. Room was cleaned but bit missed - blinds were dusty and bath felt grimy. Windows quite dirty which is a shame given the view.

    Our best memory here is the concierge service. Thank you Wister! From the moment you arrive to leaving, you feel as though you live in the City and have a regular friend to help you. Always there and very keen to supply every need. The laundry room was broken and they offered use of a suite with a machine or a free wash externally which was great. We had living room, kitchen and bedroom with bathroom. All decent sizes; kitchen fully equipped even provided Nescafe pods. Bathroom has tub and shower. Lovely views of sunset and reflected sunrise in hotel across the square. Location is fine in a seemingly safe upmarket area. Transport easy.

    There is an issue with street noise--18th is a very busy street--but not too terrible. The room was large but the bathroom was tiny.

    Absolutely no complaints!

    The property is very clean, and quiet. The location is wonderful , with access to great shopping and restaurants within blocks. It’s proximity to Rittenhouse Square is also a nice perk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size, clean and had a fantastic shower with great water pressure , even on the eleventh floor. I would definitely stay here again!
