8/10 Good
"Breakfast was wonderful. Wonderful buffet or menu items. Staff was also very welcoming and helpful. Only downside to our room was it is showing its age though all in working condition. Also the beds for 4 person room were doubles not queens. A little tight. Location was right near Rittenhouse square which was great! Overall a good place to stay."
