Such a great property, the staff are lovely. The only reason why I rated lower than a 5 was the shower pressure. It was so bad. It was actually funny. It made it very difficult to wash your hair.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was great, however, the rooms need to be updated and cleaned better. Paint peeling off walls in bathroom, floors, curtains dirty - not well kept. Only 2 sets of towels for 3 guests? The breakfast was nothing to write home about, and the plates and utensils were not properly cleaned which is an immediate turnoff. On the positive side, the location is convenient, parking nearby was fine, and the staff was helpful. But overall, for what we were charged, we expected a lot more.

I enjoyed my stay at this quaint boutique hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and kind throughout my visit. The hotel is tucked just off Rittenhouse Square on a charming side street, and walking to Walnut Street for shopping and dining couldn’t have been easier. The complimentary breakfast was lovely, and the rooms were tastefully decorated. I truly loved my experience here and plan to stay again anytime I’m in Philadelphia. I would highly recommend it to my friends.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Cons: awful room at ground level & next to the ally. Meant we had truck traffic from around 5am when bins were being collected. Floor was filthy. Looked as if it had just been touched up with paint but no one had cleaned after. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Dust on toiletries, hairdryer etc. we had to ask for the air con remote as apparently other guests had broken it in the past - which I guess is fair enough - but odd. Molton Brown toiletries were in old faded bottles - so lot of refilling. Needed more hooks to allow for storage especially in bathroom. We had a small storage cupboard but didn’t use it as it was dirty. Pros: great location. Good bathroom/ shower fittings. It’s a good little place - just a bit more care around the cleaning.
