6/10 Good

I stay here often. This time I tried to check in a couple hours early and they told me my room was available but that I would have to pay a $50 early check-in fee. I travel very often and I have never heard of this. I ended up having to argue with the lady at the front desk to not pay $50 extra. Ultimately the manager took the charge off, but it was a ridiculous thing to have to do. The lady at the front desk said that all hotels do this, but I know for a fact that that is not true. This made for an unpleasant experience from the second. I got there.

4/10 Fair

Shady online pricing. Service not great
Checked in with a pet. No mention of the $75 pet fee online. Other hotels were transparent, and were priced slightly higher as a result. Nicer hotels. Ended up spending more here. After checkout scanned parking ($60 for overnight stay), vehicle not found in scan. Waited 45 minutes for my car. Not the attendants’ fault they were hustling. Tiny room. Clean though with a great bed. Without a pet and parking at an alternate lot maybe, but all things considered I will stay elsewhere.

The entire hotel staff was very helpful and kindly, since arrival until luggage storing after checkout. During my stay I had a problem with the room air conditioning and they promptly moved me to another one where it worked perfectly. I will certainly stay again when I return to Philadelphia.

Bad pillows!
My main compliant was the pillows...less wide than standard on a queen bed. that would have been fine but they were very high, ie almost unusable because of the angle of your head on the pillow. I made a pillow out of towels and put it in the pillow case. High marks for cleanliness and location.
