9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,868 reviews)
My husband and I visited Philly for the first time. We absolutely loved our stay at Canopy and will stay there again. All the concierge were friendly and offered great recommendations for where to eat, shop, listen to music and watch the Jays game. The restaurant is tasty and has excellent service (shout out Mike)! Adored the decor and vibes. The location makes everything walkable and felt safe.

I didn't get to walk around the campus much. But definitely there needs to be more parking lots/garages at University. Difficult to find street parking
