The only thing I wish is that I could have stayed longer. This hotel put me right in the experience of Market Street, Philadelphia's character and the historic surroundings. The room smells of old wood, and there is a door opening to a little fire escape balcony that looked right out to the Delaware and onto Market Street. I could see the William Penn statue, many of the buildings with the infamous beautiful architecture, market street, the people, the Delaware and it's traffic, plus the room itself was phenominal. I loved the experience of staying in that old building right near all the action. Although I was staying between business meetings and had to leave after just one night, this hotel's setting gave me the chance to really get the feeling of experiencing Philly. I walked just a block to the oldest steakhouse around, had the best scallops ever, and a lovely wine. Then the music started, the streets filled up and it was so alive. I enjoyed every minute of my stay, and plan to visit again with my son to take in the history. This hotel is perfect for anyone, any occasion, and for any length of time. The breakfast is great too. Just smelling the waffles when I went downstairs the next morning made me happy. Two things to know, if you need to print anything, their computer is as old as the hotel and might take awhile! Also, the parking cost is $21 for an overnight stay. You should budget for that, or else take the risk of parking on the street, which after seeing the nightlife I don't hightly recommend. The parking attendents are there all night, and I felt very safe and secure even walking around by myself at late night, early morning hours. That is another benefit of this hotels location. Have fun!
Stayed there over 2008 Army Navy weekend. Very convenient, could and did walk to China town and even walked back from Little Italy. Very accomadating staff, rooms a bit small, pillows can really be upgraded. Complimentary breakfast very...

It was nice to stay there even though we felt a little expensive. Anyhow we enjoyed it a lot. Only thing we did not like was that there was no parking lot.
