13.6/10 Exceptional! (256 reviews)
Not Poor(Red Roof was the worst and most disgusting place i have stayed in Bensalem) and not Great. Booked a Luxury Room (Still trying to figure out what was Luxurious about the room. Basically paid more for a standard room. Front Light when entering the room didn't work at all. Bad reception on TV.....Room smelled like smoke and cigarette holes on the Bed's heavy blanket. Didn't seem clean but not dirty either. Again not terrible but wont stay here again.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

I exepected more as the tour wos very short, but it is a site to see amd a very good location on South Street.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Very interesting place.  Lots of young people taking photos for instagram so be prepared for people asking you to move out of their photo and also to wait while they spend many minutes taking multiple photos.  Really only need about 30 min or less if you can walk straight through.
