Overall, the hotel did not live up to my expectations. The hotel was cute, but there was much to be desired. My room was freezing and the sheets were stained. When I checked out in the morning, there was no one at the desk. I waited for about 5 minutes, but nobody ever showed up. I simply left my key on the desk and hoped someone would find it. I travel to Philly for work from time to time, but won't be back at this hotel next time I am there.

It is a very charming boutique property in a great location. In room temperature control is lacking, so heat was uncomfortable during the middle of the night. Had to figure out how to open the window in the middle of the night in winter. Also, no workout room or relationships with gyms.
