The my daughter became sick, went to docto,r the day before we were supppsed to stay. She was sick and unable to travel, plus contiguous. Hotel.com and Moto in Philadelphia refused to refund our room for two nights. The would rather have COVID 19 in there hotel then refund less then $300. BE WARNED, THESE CORPORATIONS WOULD RATHER VIRAL OUTBREAKES INSTEAD OF GIVING A SMALL REFUND.

The room was super hot, even with the thermostat down to 67 it never got below 72. The view from that room isn’t great either but, that’s what you get for a downtown hotel. We didn’t have to interact much with staff but those we did were very nice. The room was clean. The restaurants leave much to be desired there. If you’re going to attempt to have a 5 star restaurant the hallways and other decor should follow suit. The menu for the “rooftop” restaurant is very sparse.
