We had a great experience staying at The Study. We were in Philadelphia for one night for a concert, and we booked a king room. We were, unfortunately, put in a room next to a family with a very unhappy and loud infant. The concierge staff were very accommodating and allowed us to switch rooms, and because there were no other open king rooms, upgraded us to a suite. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean, and the location made it easy to get around the city. Highly recommend.

Everything was nice and fine, except the bed was very uncomfortable. Also, no cups or mugs in the room. I had to ask for paper cups.
