Average hotel with great rooms in the center of Philadelphia
Based on the other TripAdvisor reviews, I was expecting to find "an architectural gem." Unfortunately, it was not; it's somewhat outdated and with cheesy details such as colorful marble. As a big design aficionado, I was disappointed to discover this was no art deco decor, at least not a contemporary one. However, I will say the rooms was very spacious, very clean, with a great view, and the bed was perfection. I booked a room with breakfast included, but the hotel did not receive all the details from the booking company, so make sure you double check with the reception. They almost charged me for it, and wouldn't believe me I had breakfast included. I also booked it for its pool, but this was a huge disappointment as well: very narrow, only 4 ft deep, and when I went, full of children. All in all though, not bad.
