Nice hotel. Close to restaurants and sights in Philly. Great workout room and the staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were big and clean. A lot nicer than a turn key Marriott.

The doors closed very loudly. There was a connecting door in our room and walls were thin. We could hear everything from the room next to us, they might as well have been hanging out in our room. Hotel was clean but very overpriced for what you got. Rooms and services were basic.

The Notary Hotel was super conveniently located, and just a really wonderful stay. Reading Market is right around the corner for a large variety of food, drink, and provisions. The historic property is beautiful, and the rooms are well appointed, with no shortage of comfort. View of City Hall was a plus!

This is a clean property in a convenient location with a lot of character. The staff is helpful and friendly. The property is across the street from city hall with easy access to public transportation. The convention center, Reading Terminal Market, 13th street shopping and restaurants are close. We walked to the historical sites and Love Park. A great property. I’d highly recommend.

Our check-in process was seamless and super fast; valet parking was reasonable and very easy (not cheap but on par with the neighborhood). Room was clean, stylish and well sized (family of 4) and appointed with coffee, etc. Location is good -- walkable to Rittenhouse restaurants and Reading Terminal Market (which was great for breakfast) and would have been walkable to Independence Square but the weather didn't cooperate. Not on the hotel, but just a warning that we took the subway from the station right across from the hotel (we're from NY so are very comfortable with public transport) and sadly it did not feel safe with our kids -- open drug use, etc.
