17.6/10 Exceptional! (4,180 reviews)
Located in the heart of center city, CQ is a 30-min walk from 30th St Station. One block away is Bruno Bros, a great food and wine emporium, The Parkway museums and institutes are. 20-30 min on foot. My room was fine, bathroom oddly designed/a tight fit. Lobby coffee is weak but more than the 2-oz Nespresso pods in room. Remarkably quiet.

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
