Great hotel BUT... It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!

nice and convenient. Stayed there over 2008 Army Navy weekend. Very convenient, could and did walk to China town and even walked back from Little Italy. Very accomadating staff, rooms a bit small, pillows can really be upgraded. Complimentary breakfast very nice, didn't eat in restaurant, understand that food was nice. Limited internet access, moderate exercise room, could use a treadmill. Overall, very clean, "quaint" best way to describe it. Very nice alternative to large hotel such as hyat or marriout, definately would stay there again.Front desk very accomadating, although not much help for restaurant recommendations.

Very Clean, Nothing great about the views, Loud. We parked in the VALET parking area next to the hotel. The fee was VERY high...$20 for the night! We then entered the hotel. The lobby is terribly small with worn out seating. The front "desk" is tiny. We went up to our room which was very clean, with the only issue being a small amount of mold in the jacuzzi tub area. The tub was suppoed to be big enough for two but can really only fit one comfortably. The heater kicked on and went off through out the night and the pillows were the WORST ever! When someone walked in the room overhead, the light in our room shook and the room was hardly sound proof. Ours overlooked an alley with boarded up windows and port-o-potties.

When we went to get our car, the valet service (not owned by the hotel but really the only place to park), the valet service had put our car into a cement pole enough to dent the bumper. We then waited for 45 minutes for a manager to show up to take care of the problem.

Honestly, other than the hotel being really clean, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Classic architecture within walking distance of the historic district and Penn's Landing.. In Short
Once a commercial building, this building has been artfully refurbished to reflect a charming European inn. Picture exposed brick, wrought-iron beds, Chippendale-esque furnishings, fireplaces and hot tubs in one of the best locations in town. Rooms are decorated in rich, warm colors and include terry-cloth bathrobes to wear while enjoying complimentary daily newspaper and breakfast. Deluxe rooms also feature fireplaces and Jacuzzis.

Best Romantic Boutique Hotel in the City!. Quiet, Victorian setting, gas fireplace, jacuzzi tubs that comfortably fit two people, and very conveniently located to great restaurants/clubs. What more needs to be said.
