Beautiful, old building that lived up to its boutique atmosphere. Great (included) breakfast with attentive, friendly staff throughout our stay. Facilities appeared to need a little refreshing, paint job in room was not up to the standards of the rest of the hotel, but highly recommend for solicitous staff, great location, and comfortable, spacious room.

Rittenhouse Square comfort

Great location and great place to stay. A B&B with involved staff and a commitment to guest comfort and convenience. New breakfast area holds just-baked pastries and fruit, besides juices and coffee. We enjoyed our stay - our third or fourth here - very much.

The staff went above and beyond when I needed assistance, incredible people. The street it’s on isn’t one of the main streets so it was pretty quiet. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, even plenty of shelf space in the large shower! Will stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall hotel is ok, staff was friendly/helpful. The hotel is definitely showing its age and could use some renovations, but understandable given the price point in this area of town (don't go in with expectations of a luxury hotel). The main issues that lowered the rating are: 1). The shower in my room needs some TLC; mildew is present. 2) Our window was facing the dumpsters outback . I wouldn't have minded this so much except that starting at 3am they were being picked up and this went on periodically for a few hours, messing up sleep.
