10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and ready. Staff are great. "

W Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and amenities are out of this world! I was here for a single night and the staff were amazing. The room was spotless! I had an issue with the window not closing and they had it fixed by the time I came back from dinner. After I checked out they still held the same courtesy and care they gave me while I was staying with them. I am someone in the service industry and the service was phenomenal. Worth every cent! "
