Lovely hotel and great experience. Only downside is that South Street gets quite rowdy on the weekend which you can hear in the rooms, but they provide ear plugs if you need them.

This is a uniquely great hotel option near many shops, restaurants and history in Center City. The room is very well appointed and relatively quiet for being on South Street. A great deal compared with other fine hotels. Will definitely stay there again!
