My wife and I stayed here as part of an east coast history tour. I worried at first in the planning phase of how we were going to get around to each of the different sites, since driving really wasn't convenient and this hotel was on the outskirts. However once we got there and reviewed our plans it turned out great. Most everything is within walking distance and using the Phlash was easy, cheap and convenient. We felt safe and the area was nice. We stayed on the 10th floor facing the river and it was beautiful especially the view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. They even had fireworks one night in Penn's landing that we could see from our room.
A few cons: They charge $35 a night parking (no prorating) so if you get there at 11pm you pay $35 :( Also the water heater must be on the lower floors, because we were told in order to have hot water in your shower or bath you needed to turn on the hot water and let it run for 5min's to get the hot water up to our floor. This proved to be correct! If you didn't wait you got a luck warm shower.
Other than that the staff were very nice and helpful and helped us find a near by gas station and laundry mat. I would recommend B&Y which is just down the road.

Hotel was full of school age bus trips. Very noisy in room next to ours. Second morning no hot water for showers.

The staff was terrific. The hotel is located at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Parking is $35 per night with in and out privledges. Breakfast was good. Lots of choices. The problem with this hotel is it is very close to I-95. We were on the west side, ninth floor. The expressway is elevated and very close to the side of the hotel. Traffic was very noisy. It was loud enough that we thought the window was open but the the windows do not open. Traffic runs all night. I would try to get a room on the east side of the hotel. It maybe quieter.

Shower hot water took forever to get hot! 3rd day of my 4day stay I tried letting it warm up via the tub faucet instead and it was much faster.
Staff was welcoming. Breakfast was great. It accommodated my gf diet. - I just skipped items I thought might be wheat based. Still plenty to eat.

We had a great stay. Staff was very helpful, breakfast with a lot of options, parking lot and few blocks away from Elfreth's Alley, we were excited about this. You cannot visit Philly and not take pictures there. The view of the hotel is also beautiful, right across the pier. We are planning our return already.

Decent location. It is very load from the traffic as it’s right below a couple bridges. It advertises as having laundry rooms but none are on site

The hotel is located in a fantastic location, a short walk to so many must see sights and restaurants. The river walk in the evening was beautiful. Staff were very accommodating and attentive. Wonderful breakfast in the morning with lots of options. We will definitely be recommending this property and recommend to our family and friends.

$32.00/day (?) for parking while you're staying in the hotel is probably the main reason I might not return to this hotel...

Hotel and staff were great but streets around this location are easily flooded

The hotel is very central, closed to the stores and restaurants. Located on the historic area you can organize your own trip to multiple places. Also offers an amazing view of Penns- landing and the Delaware river.

Fire alarm went off close to midnight. It was a false alarm, but no attempt was made by the staff to notify guests of that fact until we climbed down 8 flights of stairs and got to the lobby. Luckily all the guests kept their cool but if there had been a stampede to the exit, someone could have gotten hurt. Nobody from the staff attempted to enter the stairwell and tell any guests that it was safe to return to their rooms. Apparently the fire alarm was pulled by a couple of kids who were not staying at the hotel, which made me quite unnerved about security -- how were they even able to enter the building that late at night without a keycard? The whole thing seemed fishy. Many guests were really upset by the situation. I like this hotel's location near Penn's Landing and if you get the River View it's a great scene from the window, but I must say that this time my experience was not great. I was able to get a partial refund (less than 20% of my total cost) but I had to spend almost a half an hour jumping through bureaucratic hoops to do so.

I’ve spoke to someone about this already and they suggested I call the hotel to have security escort me in now would you stay at a place if you needed escort in?

Did not see enough restaurants at walking distance. Breakfast had limited vegetarian options.
Car parking was not very visible while I was booking but I had to pay $32 per night for car parking which wasn't a great experience

They very attentive and get you need immediately. I really recommend it.

We stayed in "city view" rooms which are directly overlooking about twelve lanes of high speed traffic. It was apparent from the quadruple paned glass that the hotel has attempted to block out the traffic noise, but unfortunately the sound was still quite disruptive late into the night. The main takeaway here is that the $10 upgrade to the river view room would be a wise choice.
The food options at breakfast were reasonable however the quality of some of the ingredients (eggs, OJ) were not great. Still better than I have seen at some other budget hotels.
The room was fairly dated, but was a good size and very clean. The bed and pillows were reasonable, nothing amazing but certainly not uncomfortable.
Aside from this, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were apologetic for the noisy room and offered an upgrade if we return again.

We loved everything about the hotel. Parking was a bit steep tho. The staff were beyond awesome and friendly. We will stay there again.

Do not stay on the 3rd floor towards the back. Everytime they drop a dumbbell in the gym, you'll be hearing it.

Stay was great except for housekeeping knocking on the door while I was trying to get ready to leave at 10:51am to ask if we were checking out and at what time. When I’m sure she very well knew we were checking out that day because she had a clipboard and sheet in her hand and was looking to clean. Checkout is at 11 and we left the room within 5 minutes. While going to the elevator we saw she was still cleaning a room down the hall. I don’t know what is the procedure but if checkout is at 11 customer should not be disturbed until then.
2.0
Staff was friendly and professional, rooms were clean and comfortable, lots of choices for a nice hot breakfast. The hotel felt safe and secure, with key access to lobby, elevator and parking lot (which was not fenced, as i assumed).
An inexpensive, adequate place to stay within a mile walk of concert venue, or a quick drive.
