This place is a dump. Do not stay!
I stayed in this hotel in June 2012. I truly DO NOT recommend it. First off, the front desk personnel is rude. Secondly, the elevator is incredibly old and most of the time won't work because it is one of those that needs to be closed manually for the car to go anywhere. Good luck trying to get the elevator to your floor if someone does not close it properly (happened several times to me). Then, my room had absolutely no natural light. It was dark and small and filthy. Carpet needs to be replaced. Lastly, but not least, although the bathroom was nice and new, I ended up being charged for a malfunction in one of the shower handles. The general manager was unresponsive (never bothering to answering my calls). When I finally got to speak with him, he was dismissive of my claim.
The only positive is the location but that is i. Please avoid this if you can. There are many better hotels in Philadelphia for you a dump like this.
