"Overall okay stay! staff was super friendly and helpful! Very convenient location. I felt like the room could be more up to date and some parts of the room were dusty. The bed was super comfortable and the sheets were clean. I am a Expedia VIP so I got a voucher for food so that was nice"

"Staff were very helpful. I was able to check my bags early in the day and then go sightseeing and check into my room later. This hotel is located in the heart of the historic area, a great place to stay for a short walk to the Liberty Bell and many other sites. Also close to the subway for easy transportation."
