    Perfect location for our needs, but probably not a good place to stay if your business is in downtown Philadelphia

    Exceedingly spacious rooms with a real kitchen, comfortable living area, including couch and a great bed. Plenty of space and light. Expansive common areas, nice breakfast. Outdoor seating adjacent the river. Appreciated that coffee was available 24/7. Nicely done esthetic integration with former steel plant. Kudos to the Architect.

    The only thing negative i could say is the way their curtains are in the room there is light that comes out the very top that you really can't control so if you like a dark room wear an eye mask if you want to sleep in

    The location was perfect in correlation with what we were there for. It was only an 11 minute walk away! The hotel and room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The free breakfast they serve was one of the best I've had at a hotel and the staff at the breakfast was very helpful. There was a lady where you first entered the breakfast that was there to answer any questions like how to make a waffle and there was always staff cleaning up the tables so other guest could sit. I would definitely stay here again

    Love that it’s a dog-friendly hotel, but (for all hotels) like smoking and non-smoking rooms, for allergy sufferers, there should be dog rooms and non-dog rooms. Nothing at all property-specific, but an observation.

    Everything! Clean, spacious, yet cozy and inviting. Public spaces were amazing! Our suite was perfection, well thought out, every single thing considered. High end finishes, spotlessly clean. The staff was exceptional, friendly, helpful, ESPECIALLY Tatyana and Helen!!! The location was like NO OTHER! So cool!

    Uncomfortable Bed and pillows. Bed leaned to the left slightly, pillows uncomfortable. Breakfast closes at 9 which is a little early. The casual restaurant closes at 6 which is to early which leaves only a the more formal place as an option if you need to stay in.

    Great little place very close to where I needed to be in bala cynwd. Has amenities like a gym and indoor pool two restaurants 24 hour coffee, tea, water and small snack shop. Friendly staff.

    Man over the phone (I think his name was Naseed) informed me earlier in the day that I needed to arrive by 6pm so I would be guaranteed a room. My card had declined that morning due to my bank considering it fraudulent activity (especially since I'm out of state). Me stressing to get there by that time, we hit bad traffic, so I called at 5pm to let him know about the traffic and to possibly use a different credit card. A woman answered..stated he was gone for the day..but assured me a room so that I would less stressed. Upon arrival, she was relaxed, very sweet and accommodating. She evidently worked overnight, because I also checked out with her as well. She's a great staff member!

    Since my business was right in Philadelphia, this was a little far afield even at just 5 miles away. On the other hand, I was in downtown in half an hour and didn't have to pay extra for parking, which is at a premium in Philadelphia. Otherwise, no intrinsic problems with the hotel.

    Nice to see rooms designed for people: windows open to get air; actually fan current in bathroom. Layout of room was very usable. All other aspects are what your would expect for a hotel in this price range. The architecture and setting were quite phenomenal.

    An unpleasant hotel with unexpected problems for the value.

    I was very displeased by how it is was impossible to raise the temperature inside the room above 78 degrees farhenheit. When we arrived, the temperature had been set at 56: that is insane as the summer outside is lovely and I love to be warm. We stayed 3 nights and requested no room service so as to not disturb our "heat" setting, but the temperature really never lifted above 78 degrees in spite of my 84 degree setting. I was cold at night and no blanket were provided in the room. Meanwhile, the vents that conduct both AC air and heating air are very noisy (that would account for why I cannot complain about any neighbor's noise: the heating made so much noise it would have been difficult to hear anything else!) On the second day, we also noticed strange beige flakes gathering on the black TV stand and some on our bed stands as well. Where did these particles came from? It had to be the heat vent. Every morning we cleared the flakes, but they came back by the evening- as the vents kept roaring. I am never coming back to this poorly designed hotel. It is nice to rehabilitate an old building in an interesting location, but the architecture is not stunning, and the decor is all plastic, fake wood and cheap fake tiles. The heating ducts are noisy, and we might have been breathing all night bad chemicals in the form of bizarre flakes oozing out of the ducts. Also, the water quality from the taps was VERY subpar- smelly and chlorinated to the hilt. I liked to drink water from municipal sources: this was the wrong place to do that, unfortunately.

    Location near a river. And the presence of a top notch restaurant nearby.
