We really enjoyed our stay in the 1 Queen studio suite. It was like having our own little NY apartment. The bed was super comfortable and the furniture included the necessities; no looking for a table to sit and eat. Very clean and staff is nice. The view was nice, even for a city location, overlooking the reservoir. The building has been around for a while, but is well taken care of. We live in Philly and will use this as a nice place to take a break, a relaxing stay-cation.

Thank you for your review. We apologize the pool was closed. Hopefully as restrictions continue to be removed, the City will allow us to open it back for use.

WIFi policy was inadequate. WIFI available only in lobby unless you signed on to Hilton Honors.

Great location.

Cons: Valet service.
If you're taking a bus tour of the city this is a great location as its not far from the stop at the Touch Museum. Velet parking is at the adjacent Hilton and you'll need a Sherpa to ring your way to your hotel. No signs. Room was very nice for the price. Would stay here again.

A+

Pros: Location, amenities, cleanliness, friendly staff.
Cons: The self serve parking requires you to walk from the parking lot to the hotel. For $10 there is a valet, but I'll take $5 parking in Philly any day!
Location: It can be a little tricky to find the entrance on first arrival, nice area though. Target shopping center very close. Several nearby restaurants.
We were in town for a concert at the Mann Center, and this hotel was recommended to me. I'm so glad it was. The location was ideal for traveling to and from the venue, and there was tons of nearby shopping and to pick up anything we needed while we were there. The room had a kitchen with a stove, microwave, full size refrigerator, and even a dishwasher! Since I was preparing to make a fairly large meal in the lot of the Mann I was able to do all my preparations right in the room, which saved me time, energy and waste on the lot. The room was also well maintained with a beautiful view. The entire staff was friendly and kind and made the two days and nights we stayed a real pleasure. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the vicinity.

Comfortable and A Great Value

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
In Phila. for 2 (amateur) photo outings. Didn't need downtown location. A bit awkward to find, but room and service was very satisfactory. Good free breakfast. Needed a little front desk service (missing wastebasket, bathroom sink wouldn't drain, missing flatware.) All corrected within an hour. Kitchen in suite was perfect. View of city skyline. Happy to have found this place.

Great hotel, excellent and friendly service. Parking is a serious issue

Pros: Free breakfast
Cons: parking
Have walk about 50 yards to off premise parking. A real inconvenience. Otherwise hotel is excellent and one of the complimentary full breakfasts around.
