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!

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.

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.

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

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.

This place was unfortunately very disappointing. I chose it for its location and very close proximity to my daughter's dorm building. It is falsely listed on google as a 4-star hotel, when it is really probably a 2-star. I know it was my fault that I missed the fact that this place had no elevator with stairs required for our 3rd floor room. But, these staircases were long and narrow and very difficult with a larger 45-pound suitcase. Our room was a basic one-queen without kitchen. It looked nothing like photos on the webpage. The walls were bare, it felt like an average college dorm room with white bedding. There was paint chipping off, a dent in the bathroom door, the toilet paper holder was half falling off the wall and the rubber seal at the bottom of the shower door was breaking off. I don't know if it was just me, no matter what my teen daughter and I did, we could not get the room temp right with the air conditioning. It was always either too cold, or warm/humid. The good things about this place were that it was clean, there were complimentary water and apple juice bottles in the lobby, and the first floor laundry machines were free. The street the building is on is safe, but it is a rather run-down block just off of UPenn campus. In summary, I probably would never stay here again, but if you are only 1-2 people, traveling light with only small luggage, and aren't too picky about your room temp or the aesthetics of your room, then this place may be ok for you.

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.
