Central Location, Generic Rooms
As other reviews have noted, the location of this hotel is ideal for a visit to Philadelphia -- it is near shopping, dining, tourist attractions, and transit. The rooms are generally comfortable, although decoration is generic and a furnishings a bit worn. Couples (or others) with different sleep patterns will appreciate that the rooms have separate living and sleeping areas, each of which was fairly snug. We would have preferred if the advertised queen-sized bed was actually queen-sized; it wasn't. Sound insulation was good from the street and decent from the hallways, but the hotel has some of the noisiest water pipes I've ever encountered. The valet parking is expensive (as might be expected from the center of a densely popiulated city) but worked as advertised and was not unduly slow for a property that does not have a parking lot or garage on the premises.
