Great location, great people, comfortable rooms
It’s a very nice place sitting right between the best art museums in Philadelphia (Barnes Foundation and Philadelphia museum of art). The location is perfect for me. Hotel crew was really nice and did what they could to make the stay comfortable. There was a mini-fridge in the room description i noticed it’s not there and it was delivered 5 minutes later. A quirky feature of this place is a smart mirror in the bathroom. You can check the map or play a game while brushing your teeth. Worth to install The Maj App it allows you to control some of the room features.

New but disappointing near Museum
New hotel located near Philadelphia Museum of Art, though nothing much else in the vicinity. On trend decor (e.g. plants around lobby), comfy bed with nice linens. Very noisy AC - you can turn off noisy wall fan, but noisy ceiling system runs 24/7. Surprising that such a new hotel is providing single-use plastic mini toiletries. I found it style over substance - I don’t need internet in the bathroom mirror, but would like to switch off the lights by the bed without having to get out of bed and deal with complicated switches! Slippers would have been nice given the cold, tiled floors. No housekeeping.

Pluses - Loved the location. Staff was helpful.
Minuses - shower floor was gross;

Great stay! The price was very reasonable and the hotel is easy walking distance to the Barnes, the Rodin Museum, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the Franklin Institute. Would highly recommend. Plus I found free parking very close but I was lucky on this.
