I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is super convenient, within walking distance of top attractions like the waterfront, Independence Mall, Rittenhouse Square, and a variety of restaurants and clubs. The room, while not very large, was cozy and featured a wonderfully comfortable queen bed. Plus, it was quiet and insulated from street noises, creating a peaceful stay.
