This is a fantastic location near U Penn. There is a ton nearby that’s walkable and mass transit options galore. The units are very well appointed. Definitely check in before you get there with the app. It simplifies things greatly.

The unit was great, with bright natural lighting and a clear room . The room and bathroom were well maintained. The airconditioning was on and the room temperature was relaxing for a hot day outside.

Great boutique hotel in West Philly

No frills and easy access to the room. Room was clean and had modern amenties. Location at 40th and Chestnut was perfect. Note there is no hotel staff on site but everything is done via text. I only wish they bad luggage storage after check out but otherwise an amazing stay!
Verified review

6/10 Good

Room was uncomfortably warm and AC would not switch to cool. I opened the window and that helped cool the room. The shower drain was clogged and the water did not drain. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drinks were very appreciated.

4/10 Fair

No AC.

Room was clean upon arrival. However the heat was BLASTING and we had no control despite there being a temperature “control” panel in the room. We tried to do everything to cool the room but it stayed at 85 each night and it was absolutely miserable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great location and pleasant. Problems: air conditioner condensation dripped all over the kitchen counter and onto the floor, making it unsanitary and unsafe. They need to put a drain in. Also, steep stairs are difficult for me and they were not shown in the site info before booking. Other than this, room was nice. Bathroom was great!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Overall, the hotel was a good value--an attractive room and a comfortable bed in a good location. Access to the room was effortless. Communication was not so good. I tried to ask a question and received no answer. Most of the time, I felt I was communicating with a bot. Also, there was a thin layer of dust on all the surfaces when I arrived. I'm guessing that some repairs were made after the room had been cleaned.

The property was as advertised in the photos. Loved the space. The kitchenette was nicely stocked with dishes and a nice little coffee/tea station. . The amenities were thoughtful and helpful. The property is well maintained. My only warning would be: watch the stairs! There are a lot of them and the outdoor stairs can get slippery.

The Kitchen was nice and the room and Bathroom were clean and comfortable. We had an excellent dinner and date night.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The room was clean. But the shower place was not properly maintained. The drain was clogged and water cumulated quickly. The water was lukewarm even after running for 15 minutes. I felt chilly after taking the morning shower. It was disappointing if you could not take a hot shower in the morning.

It was okay at best. Loud, even during the night, with a bathroom door that doesn’t even close and a shower with plumbing issues. I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s okay for 1 night.
