The bathroom wasn’t cleaned when we checked in. It had used soap in the shower with pubic hairs on it. The tub was full of hair and fake eyelashes. There were medical devices (needles used for diabetics) in the cabinet. They moved us and even though the new room had been cleaned, it was not cleaned well. The cleaning manager was very apologetic and the staff and valet team were all very sweet.

This hotel is located in a safe quiet area, adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania. I like the trend I'm seeing in hotels where you cannot access any of the floors except the lobby, and swipe a valid room key for your floor in the elevator. They also have a security person on the bottom floor. The property is beautiful, has a pool and exercise room. The breakfast buffet had everything you could ever want and was delicious. Front desk contacted me several times to make sure we had what we needed. Only issue we had was the sofa bed got stuck late at night and I didn't want to bug anyone.

Dirty!!!!
Staff were friendly, however, the room was so dirty 😢. Hair on the bed sheets, the shower was covered in thick black hair, garbage in the bathroom can, blood stains on the pull out couch mattress. There are much cleaner hotels for the same price in Philly. I would not recommend.

It was pretty nice. Like a mini apartment. But I feel housekeeping should keep up with actually cleaning table tops and the tub more. I made sure to wipe down when I got there and there were food stains on the counter and an old coffee filter on the table. The tub had weird crust on the side. And breakfast should have more options if possible
