Convenient, friendly comfortable
Staff was very friendly and patient with my questions, location very, very convenient from NJ. Just a few blocks from the Ben Franklin Bridge. We went during the flower show and expected high prices, for the location this was a bargain. Not budget prices though. While boutique does not mean luxurious, room was adequate size, very comfortable and attractive and spotless. It looked like it had just been redone. Window was to an atrium, no noise at all from the street or anywhere else for that matter.
This was a spur of the moment trip from NJ. I was nervous about staying in a City. Didn't have to be. This was a neighborhood that was near the tourist spots. But felt more European than Touristy. Historical location (Only a few blocks to Carpenters Hall, Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.) and the hotel building itself is old. Buses and subways close for visits to art museum. Lovely city. Check out the Heroes museum, on the way to Carpenter's Hall, surprisingly entertaining and not what I expected at all.
