    Amazingly well appointed. They’ve thought of everything. We were able to check in early and check out late and there was easy to use bag storage as well. Our questions were always answered immediately and kindly through the app. The bed was comfortable (supportive and plush at the same time) and the air conditioning worked well. We appreciated the handwritten welcome note, suggestions on things to do, snacks and drinks that we could purchase (high quality), good shampoo/conditioner/body wash), and spaciousness. Location was perfect. Quick walk to most of the historical sights. 11 out of 10!

    No complaints from me!

    This hotel is a hidden gem! I love that we were able to bypass the whole "front desk" experience and just enter our room with a pin code. We had no issues getting into our room. The art, furniture, dishes, even the soap dispenser --everything was intentional and gorgeous to look at. It was like a hip little studio apartment in a vibrant part of the city with plenty around to do. The room included a full size fridge, stove, sink, and dishwasher. The shower was hot, the water pressure was perfect, and the robes were so comfortable. The linens were crisp and clean, and we slept great in the queen bed with AMAZING pillows and mattress. The price we paid for what we got was extremely reasonable. This is one of the coolest little hotels I've ever stayed in!

    I wish there was any counterspace in the bathroom.

    Location is great, rooms are generous size, and the bed is comfortable. Not a cookie cutter place, has it's own style and is very clean. Had a first aid kit in the drawer of the kitchenette and nice to have a kitchen. It has robes! And, the bathroom toiletries are good quality.

    Paper towels in the kitchen area would be nice :) Not in the property’a control, but it was quite loud on the street late night. Appreciated the earplugs and note they provided!

    It was in a great, safe location walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants…even a music venue! The room was *very clean and decor was fun and modern. It was easy to access the secure space via your specific code. Staff were just a text away and gave amazing recommendations based on your preferences. That open communication helped us plan ahead as well as quickly address any questions we had once there. The personal note alongside the recommendation cards and voucher for a free treat at the cafe was a nice touch!

    There was nothing that we didn't like, but my mom would have liked one more space to put her clothes away.

    The design was wonderful. We loved it. The staff was extremely responsive by text and phone and very gracious. Everything was very well organized and thought through - including the thoughtful binder with info about the area, etc. Also I loved how spacious it was and that there was a kitchen with a fridge.

    Great little apartment-like setup! Very comfortable room with lots of space. And they were so helpful when I needed to leave my luggage the next day. Staff was amazing!! Loved having a chat and getting recommendations :) They also have a drawer of things you may have left behind. Really saved me, my feet were killing me but I didn’t have anything to take with me, but they had Tylenol. And hand lotion! My hands got so dry while traveling.

    I honestly can’t think of a complaint besides no parking which is very common in Philly.

    Love the easy contactless access. Loved the decor and design of the apartment, the location, and how neat and clean it was. We will make it our regular stop when staying at Philly.
