Beautiful hotel with historic charm located in the middle of a very cute neighborhood with bars and restaurants. The hotel had social night event where they were offering free wine and snacks. I loved our stay here.
I always enjoy my stays at this hotel at the very heart of Philadelphia. Nice rooms, helpful and friendly staff, decent breakfast and a welcome drink form a great package. Highly recommended.
This historic inn was perfect for our stay in Philadelphia. If you're not someone who has to have the most pristine and modern amenities and enjoys historic, quirky charm, it fits the bill! We loved the wine and cheese from 5-7, the historic architecture, and the location could not have been more convenient. I'm definitely going to stay there again (the price is very affordable compared to others in the area!) but it's not going to be your favorite place if you want a super modern and luxurious stay. It was clean, convenient, and the staff was very helpful.
After staying here for 2 weeks in 3 different rooms, I have the following observations:
Rooms- very worn, carpet wrinkles that caused tripping, television/remote access terrible, loud hvac, bed comfortable and room clean
Breakfast- minimal with limited choices as the morning progressed
Social time- a nice touch
Location - great
Such a charming hotel! Stayed for two nights - the staff was wonderful and our room was cozy. They held our bags before check in so we could explore, and were helpful with suggestions on things to do. The happy hour and continental breakfasts are nice offerings. Location is central but still quiet.
Loved that it was an older building. Part of the charm. Great location. Carpets could be replaced.Also a few more places to hang a towel would be useful. We enjoyed the complimentary happy hour social and the breakfast . Our stay was fine overall.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2026

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was wonderful. It was great having an evening special and small continental style breakfast. My only complaint was the bathroom certainly could and should have been cleaner. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.
What a nice hotel,,,real character in a historic neighborhood. The room was very comfortable, including the king size bed. The social hour with wine, beer, & a wide variety of snacks led, was a classy touch.
