I reserved a room here because I actually liked the rooms here. It was my 2nd booking within a month. I had a lot of luggage so the desk attendant helped me with my bags to the elevator. He came to me after we loaded the bags on the elevator and told me that there were no more bags left and that I could proceed to my room. I got to my room and went to sleep from being super exhausted. Upon leaving I noticed that 1 of my biggest bags was not there. I had 2 bags that actually looked identical so it wasn't hard to notice that it was gone after I was fully refreshed from sleeping. I went down to the desk and asked the new desk attendant if there was anything found referring to my big missing bag. She said no so I asked if there was anyone I could talk to about my missing bag. She gave me a business card and told me to call the number on the card. I then left upset and called the number from the business card. I spome with an attendant and he told me that he disnt find anything. He said he was the manager. I asked if he could review the cameras because my bag and items were worth about $2,000 dollars. He told me that he would check the cameras and call me back. He called me back and told me that he didn't see anything again so my husband got on the phone and told him that we were going to take action. He said he would check again and call us back. He called back about an hour later and said that he found the bag near the trash can dumpster. I explained if he found the bag on the cameras then he should know who moved the bag to the dumpster. We went to the hotel to get our bag and it was nearly nothing left in the bag. The bag had 15% of my items left in it when he handed it to us from his storage room. We were upset and asked who toom our stuff and he kept saying he had no knowledge but to me that didn't sit well because he has cameras in his hotel. His employees told me that all my bags were on the elevator the night I checked in as if he plotted on taking my missing bag in the first place so I feel as though they are liable for whatever happened to my stuff. He got irate in the lobby when we asked about our stuff and told him that we wanted to be compensated and he then threatened to call the police on us. I'm still upset and I still want my stuff back and I will be taking...
Read moreI slept there last night and was concerned I made a mistake choosing it, based off some of the reviews. I've been eager to write a review I was satisfied with my stay and would recommend it if the price is right and your just looking for a nice stay with the essentials. I was only looking for a small room for 1 person. And everything was clean with no visible bugs or noises. Think there was 5 floors of rooms. Good: -fairly large bed -if you turn all the lights on, including the ones by the bed Its bright enough -nice sized tv -sink and bathroom is small but you can do what you have to do (I didn't try the shower) -has Wi-Fi -saw there was an iron, computer desk, coffe maker, and safe Bad: -the bed and cushioned chair was a bit hard. But I didn't think it was intolerable. -(i also are at 8:30, even though the person at the desk suggested going early 6:30 with the food hot) the time I went there wasn't many options of food cold waffles, cereals, coffee, orange juice, and apple juice think was there. Unless there are more options for breakfast earlier, I suggest saving money and selecting no breakfast. You're in Philly go somewhere to eat, unless you limited on time for work or something. -the price for me was 170 bc of a sale. It's a hefty price for this hotel but in this area all the hotels are pricy. Would I pay let's say 270? I would not. -when I booked in earlier in the day, I could faintly hear people so the walls aren't thick. But when I got back at midnight and went to bed there was no noise. So it's really hot or miss. The air conditioning is on and that can be white noise, or I guess bring ear plugs in case you get bad luck. But that's the case anywhere you go! So prepare yourself how you feel you need to.
Conclusion I gave it 3 stars bc thats a fair assesment. If you need a hotel in that area and the price is right, booking here is fine...
Read moreI stayed in this hotel for one night. This hotel is on a tiny, one way street. There is no parking of any kind offered, so you must fend for yourself at one of the nearby lots, which typically charge about $15 per day. Keep in mind that this "day" ends at 6:30am. If you keep your car there past 6:30, you will be forced to pay for another full day.
I checked in slightly early, and they informed me that the only rooms they had were on the first floor. This was strange to me, but I didn't have time to argue. I asked if it would be noisy, and I was assured that no, there would be no noise issues. I had my doubts, considering my room was next to the entrance, next to the front desk, and next to the outside street.
My suspicions were confirmed that night. The noise was incredible, easily the loudest, most frustrating hotel room I have ever stayed in. People came in and out all night, cell phones rang, cars and trucks ran back and forth on the street outside. The "drapes" in the room barely closed at all, meaning I had to manufacture a makeshift way to keep the light out.
My favorite part was when I was awakened at 3am by the front desk guy chatting with someone else, a friend I assume. They were not talking overly-loud, but the room's sound insulation was so poor that I could clearly hear every word they were saying. When I called and asked them to keep the noise down, they merely laughed, and I could hear one of them tell the other one to "tell him to just not sleep".
The next morning, this same front desk guy had the wonderful question of, "How'd you sleep?"
I made the mistake of trying to be close to where I needed to be that next day by getting a hotel room in the city for "cheap". Don't make this mistake. Stay out in the suburbs in a real hotel, with real parking, and...
