I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. The 33rd-floor 2 bedroom suite had breathtaking city views that I had never seen before growing up near this city. The room was spacious and clean, with high-quality amenities including comfortable beds, pillows, robes, and towels. I was amazed to find a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, a living room, a washer, a dryer, and plenty of closet storage. The location was perfect, being close to Cira Green and the Schuylkill River Trail, which were perfect for walks and jogs. Additionally, being so close to Rittenhouse, UPenn, and Drexel made it convenient for exploring these areas.

I had a fantastic stay with incredible views and comfortable beds. The hotel exceeded my expectations with endless amenities and a sleek and modern design. The location was perfect as it was surrounded by many things in downtown. The room had a huge walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub. I was able to cook in the full kitchen with actual cooking pans, pots, and baking pans. The hotel also had a mini market nearby for any groceries. The hotel had a theater, spa, pool with a city view, and a large viewing patio deck with chairs and a mini bar. The staff, especially Joe at the front desk, provided professional and kind support throughout my stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff was outstanding and the rooms were top of the line. The view of the city from our room on the 33rd floor was amazing. The hotel had all the amenities we needed, including a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a living room. The prices were great and we were pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the bed, pillows, robes, and towels. The hotel's location was very convenient, close to the university and shopping area, as well as near Pennsylvania Hospital where we had a family member undergoing treatment. it was a clean and comfortable stay with excellent hotel facilities, parking options, and helpful staff.
