Guests overwhelmingly praised the hotel's central location, especially its proximity to Penn campus, hospitals, and local attractions. The friendliness of the staff was noted in several reviews, though some guests experienced issues with customer service and housekeeping. Cleanliness and breakfast received mixed feedback, with some positive mentions but also complaints about room cleanliness and breakfast variety. Bed comfort was a recurring negative point. Ongoing construction and outdated facilities caused inconvenience for some guests, but many still found the hotel a good value and appreciated the atmosphere.
