Room was uncomfortably warm and AC would not switch to cool. I opened the window and that helped cool the room. The shower drain was clogged and the water did not drain. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drinks were very appreciated.

It was great except I didn't know we were on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. So, we had to haul 5 different pieces of luggage up 3 flights of stairs to our room. Otherwise, a great stay. Very clean. Centrally located.

Great boutique hotel in West Philly

No frills and easy access to the room. Room was clean and had modern amenties. Location at 40th and Chestnut was perfect. Note there is no hotel staff on site but everything is done via text. I only wish they bad luggage storage after check out but otherwise an amazing stay!

No AC.

Room was clean upon arrival. However the heat was BLASTING and we had no control despite there being a temperature “control” panel in the room. We tried to do everything to cool the room but it stayed at 85 each night and it was absolutely miserable.

A literal party wall

Industrial chic recently renovated. A bar with music into the wee hours is adjacent to the bedroom. If you like eavesdropping on bar patrons and dancing to your favorite reggae beats, the bedroom is a prime spot.

Great location and pleasant. Problems: air conditioner condensation dripped all over the kitchen counter and onto the floor, making it unsanitary and unsafe. They need to put a drain in. Also, steep stairs are difficult for me and they were not shown in the site info before booking. Other than this, room was nice. Bathroom was great!

Overall, the hotel was a good value--an attractive room and a comfortable bed in a good location. Access to the room was effortless. Communication was not so good. I tried to ask a question and received no answer. Most of the time, I felt I was communicating with a bot. Also, there was a thin layer of dust on all the surfaces when I arrived. I'm guessing that some repairs were made after the room had been cleaned.
