The front desk, housekeeping, and management have received many rave reviews for their genuine smiles, knowledge of the area, and professional customer service. Guests report a warm "welcome home" from every team member they meet, and those who stay often or for longer periods also note that team learns their names, which is a nice touch.
Guests often describe the rooms as spacious and sparkling clean, with comfortable beds and kitchens with all the necessary appliances. Families and groups love the extra privacy and space of the two-bedroom suites, which also offer two bathrooms.
Many guests choose the hotel for its location a few miles outside of the city's busy downtown, noting that many of the city's top attractions, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Philadelphia Zoo, are nearby. Drivers appreciate that the hotel is easily accessible from I-76 and offers affordable self parking about a block away.
A few guests found the furnishings, carpets, and decor a bit run-down. Some also found room for improvement in housekeeping. Dust, vacuuming, and bathroom fixtures are among the top issues.
Several guests were disturbed by cigarette odor in their non-smoking rooms, and suspect it is carried from other rooms through the bathroom ventilation system.
While many guests find something to like in the complimentary breakfast buffet, some have expressed concerns about the quality or quantity on offer, and others recommend arriving early to get the best selection. Reviews of the evening social are similarly mixed.
