Great experience
There are everything you need for the stay. Even if you need something extra order such as toilet paper or bath towel, you just need to text and they bring it later. you don't need to run to the counter. That's wonderful part especially us because we have small kids.

Great stay and location!
It was a great stay. Very good hotel, clean and nice staff. The only negative was that one of the elevators was not working and so it made for big delays during busy times of day.

The hotel was located very close to the U of Penn. An inviting lobby and the complimentary breakfast was adequate. The room was very spacious with a full size refrigerate and small kitchen area with a microwave and cooking top. The separate sleeping area was comfortable.
