    Value for money

We had a fantastic stay! The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The staff at this hotel were excellent, providing top-notch service with their helpfulness, friendliness, and kindness. The breakfast buffet was delicious, offering a variety of options including crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, fresh fruit, and great coffee. We also loved the location of the hotel, as it was situated near local restaurants and within walking distance to the river. Plus, the Fourth of July fireworks display was a bonus, with a great view from our room.

Almost perfect. The only slight downside was the limited seating available, making it a bit challenging to find a comfortable spot to relax. Nonetheless, this did not greatly affect our overall experience at this hotel.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was absolutely great, with easy access to a movie theater and being within 10 minutes walking distance from Independence Hall and other tourist attractions. The hotel allowed pets, which was a plus for us. The beds in the room were comfortable and the hotel had great facilities, including an indoor pool. The design of the building was beautiful and fitting for the location. We also enjoyed spending time in the lobby and found it to be a nice place to relax.

The hotel had a clean and well-maintained facility with convenient parking. Its location allowed for easy transportation to the waterfront and many museums, as well as being within viewing distance of the critically acclaimed Zahav restaurant. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Nothings. The hotel provided a fantastic stay with no drawbacks.
