10/10 Exceptional

Great accommodations. Very clean and spacious. Cool charm and character of the older building but updated nicely.
Austin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

No contact was interring but it feel like an apartment more then a hotel
CHINWEZE, 1-night trip

Very cute and safe feeling property in a cute and walkable area of the city. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great location

My second time staying at this location. Beds are amazing. Very clean and a great location!
Heather, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was large, and clean. The bed was comfortable but not too comfortable. It was perfect for what I was looking for.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location! Excellent Price!

Excellent price. Excellent location. Hot water available immediately. Bed was comfortable. Only 3 drawbacks were: no bathtub and also no place to eat and you can't watch TV from the bed.
Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very low-touch hotel experience--no staff interaction; use of codes to gain access. Room was spacious/good layout, clean, basic amenities. Several good nearby restaurants, shops; able to walk to many other local sites. However, saw more homeless individuals in the vicinity, also likely due to hotel location.
H, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The area around the Arco was interesting - there was a lot of people loitering around and yelling at all hours of the day. The parking lot across the street costs $38 per day, not $25. The location of extra essentials weren’t clear (2nd floor lounge cabinets). But the location was close to the Subway & right in between big parts of Philly. Our room was pretty clean and decorated nicely.

The refrigerator had a loud knocking sound that would randomly go on and off to the point where it will wake you up and a startling manner or it was hard to fall asleep because of the sound
Evelyn, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay! I loved the location and how easy check- in was.
Tracie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms are fine, but recently big software issues

Have stayed here many times and the place is good, but recently they’ve done a tie-up with Marriott that has totally screwed up their app and website. Impossible to find your booking, and since this is a place where there is no front desk and everything is done online, getting my code to enter the building and apartment was a pain. Will stop staying here for a few months till software issues are fixed.
Rakesh, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Spot on Locust Street

The stay was great, hotel room was in good condition and entering / exiting the building was accessible. Hotel is in a good location for local eats and transportation.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The building had tons of character, was very clean, bed was comfortable. You are in the city and it’s an older historic building so you will hear the city. You will not interact with a human for check in, check out or at all for the stay (no staff). It’s in a great location and I enjoyed my stay.
charlotte, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great, the area was great, it was EXTREMELY loud outside but we stayed over a weekend. On Sunday it was great, and I think a weeknight stay would be perfect here.
Jenna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a great place and also has Fantastic views Hope to be back again..
Joseph, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The place itself is nice and clean but my room was delayed which was really frustrating considering the price and how tired I was after flying in. Additionally, my key code didn’t work when I got there and it took a while for a support staff to get it to work. I had to wait outside while they activated the code and it was super hot. The hotel app says that your entry code should work hours before check-in but this was not the case. Overall a frustrating experience for me.
Alejandra, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unable to speak to a human after 5 attempts. Room was 87 degrees w/ temp turned down to 65, outside was 84; bad night's rest. On the bright side, Hannah a concierge? who I fortunately happened to run into, procured a missing remote for my TV & went through the entire programming process. She deserves 5 Stars!
Coldest temp in room! Totally unacceptable, particularly after having eye surgery at Wills Eye Hospital.

Good overall. Hot water issue

Overall quite good place. Have stayed here often. Only downside this time was there there was no cold water in shower one day (which is a real problem in January!).
