Good city hotel in middle of Philadelphia
We stayed here a couple of nights. The hotel is not really what we would describe as a boutique hotel as it is too large to merit that description. However, it is a very good choice of hotel if you want to be looked after and stay in the middle of Philadelphia. The room was lovely, well decorated and kept very clean although the noise from outside air conditioning units was unwelcome. The hotel was a short walk from good restaurants and from bars to participate in Philadelphia's nightlife on a Friday evening. It is close enough to be able to walk to all the sites of interest as long as you do not mind a couple of miles walk around the city. The front desk service was exceptional - friendly and prompt. We had a problem with valet parking (it is "outsourced") which was superbly dealt with by them and fully met our expectations. Breakfast (provided free of charge as compensation for parking problems) was enjoyable if service there was a little tardy. Quite expensive by European standards but reasonable for the US. All in all an enjoyable stay.
