Excellent location proximate to both Penn and Drexel campuses. A short run to the Schuylkill Riverfront Trail which is a great place to run if you’re into that. Plenty of delicious restaurants in the neighborhood. It is undergoing renovations but we weren’t in hotel during the day so the noise we were warned about didn’t bother us. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Expedia did not disclose that the property was being renovated and it was super noisy, hard to sleep. Also the Expedia rate was well above booking direct, which would have been fine if the stay was great but is tough swallow when it’s bad.

We were checked in by Ty, who could not have been friendlier. He asked us what we wanted to see and gave us ideas for places to eat nearby. One of the best check in experiences ever. The rest of the staff was also be nice, especially those working the free breakfast.
