Clean interesting building, room was quite small but to be expected. Location in the old city is great for a looking at the historical sites, but sadly many bars and restaurants are still closed, presumably from Covid. By American standards the breakfast was fairly poor, by uk standards it was inedible. Nothing was freshly prepared, and the non-fresh OJ, was rank. Plastic plates and no coffee cups. Better options (at a price) elsewhere like the red owl, or the egg cellant down the road. No bar or restaurant, so I would probably not revisit. Staff were pleasant and professional at all times.

Great place to stay!
What a wonderful hotel! Clean, friendly and convenient. Spent a long weekend in Philadelphia with friends and this hotel was perfect. Walking distance to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell but also plenty of great places to eat and relax.
