Excellent Location for Old Town
This hotel is centrally located for easy access to Old Town and many of the historic sites Philadelphia has to offer. You are only 5 minutes away from Christ Church and the Betsy Ross House and near Independence Hall. There is a major highway nearby and the hotel is near to a subway (SEPTA) stop making it easy to access the surrounding areas including the airport. You are within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and cafes and this is a great location for easy access to Market Street.

Charming Hotel Feels Like a B&B
This boutique style hotel is located in a building that is over 100 years old which adds its own charming characteristics to your stay. Rooms are lovely and bright, exceedingly clean and well appointed with comfortable beds.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Highway Traffic May be a Bit Noisy
Some rooms in this hotel face the street and you can hear street noise and highway traffic into the evening. The hotel is also near a bridge that has very bright lights that can shine into your room in the evening. If this is bothersome for you, be sure to request a room on the opposite side of the hotel.
negative:
Continental Breakfast Could Be Better
This hotel offers a continental style breakfast that may not be suitable to your tastes. If you are looking for a full, hot breakfast, you will be better served trying a nearby restaurant. The offerings seem to be more sugary style foods which won't leave you feeling full.
negative:
Rooms Are Not Very Spacious
While this is a charming, older building, this usually means that rooms are typically small, and that is definitely the case here. While small, they do a good job of making the room feel very comfortable.
