It was my anniversary, and they made my stay truly special. The restaurant even wrote a farewell message on my to-go meal on my last day. I loved it! Big thanks to Square 1682!
We loved our room as we chose one with a separate bedroom which is great for early risers! The room was very clean, had a mini-fridge and huge bathroom with a giant tub. The coffee pot was a Nespresso machine with took us a few minutes to figure out but made excellent coffee. The restaurant is delicious! The staff is very kind and helpful.

Location is great. Room was a bit worn and rundown. Pipes made very loud noise when flushing toilet.
Hotel was terrific. The bar downstairs has amazing drinks and food at very, very reasonable prices. The valet service was fantastic. The door was pulled open for me every single time I entered and exited the hotel. Front desk staff were amazing. Awesome location. I would 100% stay there again.
Excellent home base in Philly just blocks from beautiful Rittenhouse Square. Surprised by a lovely cocktail hour in the lounge when we arrived. The decor was funky and artsy. Room was SO quiet and comfortable - and we were a party of 3. Highly recommend!!
