Great, great, great.
Great location. Great sized room. Great bathroom. Everything was amazing! I just could have used a small table. I highly recommend.

Good overall. Hot water issue
Overall quite good place. Have stayed here often. Only downside this time was there there was no cold water in shower one day (which is a real problem in January!).

Great Spot on Locust Street
The stay was great, hotel room was in good condition and entering / exiting the building was accessible. Hotel is in a good location for local eats and transportation.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great, the area was great, it was EXTREMELY loud outside but we stayed over a weekend. On Sunday it was great, and I think a weeknight stay would be perfect here.
Jenna, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel, good location
Good location, short walk to Rittenhouse Square and Chinatown. Lock code worked fine. There was a dripping sound in the bathroom ceiling ( no water, but evidence of rust) and nobody is available on Sunday to take the complaint. Not a big deal because there was no water dripping. It will not impact a return stay.

Parking can be a little dicey but no worse than any otherplace in the city. Room was lovely, very clean, staff was kind & helpful. Overall, we would happily stay here again.

Miguel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is like if Temu was a hotel. It's very convenient to downtown Philly and the app works well. But don't expect niceties like working coffee machines or hot water in the shower.

Dislikes, it was noisy around 9am and you dont have any other parking options but pay to park which an add up depending on your stay But the good, walkable to everything we wanted to see. Great location, fantastic dining options, rideshare was fast and efficient in the area.
Valerian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not a good first impression
We spoke with an agent on the phone the day of check out to confirm the reservation. We received a text saying we will receive directions within three days of our stay even though it was the day of check in and we never received any directions. We could not access our hotel room until the morning of check out.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. NO JOKE. Read This
DO NOT BOOK HERE!!! Access to the building is by a keypad at street level. My Sonder access code was greyed out and I couldn’t get in the building. There is no lobby or staff at this location. Sonder’s phone support line couldn’t send me the code. I was stuck in the cold for over half an hour trying to get in. A person working for Sonder entered the building. I followed her in and 20 minutes later she gave me the access code. If she didn’t come I would have needed to purchase another room elsewhere.

Really enjoyed the look and feel of the room. I loved the style. It was convenient and just what I was looking for.
