    Decent enough room but disappointing overall.
    • What did you like most?
      The room was spacious and clean. The location's proximity to Rittenhouse was great, we were able to explore the area on foot. And the lobby dog was adorable.
    • Was there anything you didn't like?
      The room was directly under a staircase (no elevator at the hotel) and we were woken several times in the night by guests stomping up and down the stairs. Also, the room was at street level so that was an extra layer of noise. The hotel bar was not accessible through the hotel, you had to exit the front door, walk several doors over, and then enter the bar which was truly inconvenient. There was no minibar in the room, and none of the clocks were set to the right time. For the price, this did not meet my expectations in any way.
