The property was nice and clean. But the walls are thin, you can hear everything in the halls and outside in the neighborhood.

To be honest, not having "active" staff on-site was a unique bonus. I took my partner to Philly to revisit her old stomping grounds. Not having a typical hotel experience felt like added privacy, and it allowed us to feel separate from a tourist experience. The Arco being located in the heart of the Gayborhood was amazing. Transit is easily accessible, but everything is within walking distance.
