The hype

Guests love the modern vibe and cleanliness but are often frustrated by the parking situation and app glitches.

Reality check

The 'virtual' service model means if the app fails or you need extra towels at 11 PM, you might be out of luck.

  • You prefer texting a concierge over calling one
  • You plan to spend your days jogging the Schuylkill River Trail
  • You want a boutique feel without the Rittenhouse Square markup

Siisteys ja kunnossapito

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Weekly service only. Rooms are clean on arrival, but dust bunnies can accumulate.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling. Grout and tiles are new and well-maintained.
  • Maintenance: Newer property, so little wear and tear. Some complaints about 'open box springs' collecting dust.
  • Linens & towels: Egyptian cotton sheets are a nice touch; towels are standard hotel grade.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral/Fresh. No lingering smoke smells reported.

Ennen kuin varaat

Hyvä tietää

  • Download the hotel's app BEFORE you arrive to smooth out check-in.
  • The 'Rooftop' mentioned in some places is often just a view or private terrace for specific rooms, not a public bar.
  • Breakfast is NOT free; it's a paid cooked-to-order menu available weekends only.

Mitä pakata

  • A portable white noise machine (to drown out Spring Garden traffic)
  • Your own toiletries if you're picky (amenities are basic)
  • Slip-on shoes for quick runs to the lobby/cafe

Huone Genie

Parhaat valinnot

“I'd love a room on a higher floor facing away from Spring Garden Street for a quieter stay. If possible, a corner room would be great for extra light.”

Sisäpiirin vinkit

  • ✨

    The 'Maj Cafe' has great Lavazza coffee, but Twisted Grounds down the street is a better local vibe.

  • ✨

    Use the 'Smart Mirror' to play music while you shower—it's a gimmick that's actually fun.

  • ✨

    The 32 bus stops right nearby and takes you straight into Center City if you don't want to walk.

5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi

  • 💡The 'open box spring' bed frames are dust magnets—check under the bed if you have allergies.

  • 💡Lighting in the rooms is moody/dim; great for vibes, bad for doing makeup.

  • 💡The 'virtual key' app can be glitchy; always ask for a physical key card as a backup.

  • 💡There is no bar on-site, despite the 'lounge' description—it's BYOB or go out.

  • 💡The elevator is slow; take the stairs if you're on a lower floor.
