There is lots of parking in front of hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice and served the purpose we needed. You definitely hear some sounds outside the room but that is to be expected for any motel type of setup. It wasn't an issue for us. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!

The hotel is absolutely stunning. Our room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. We reserved a waterfront room, and it offered the most breathtaking view of the River—truly the highlight of our stay. I highly recommend this hotel; it's conveniently located near Philadelphia and offers ample parking, making it both accessible and relaxing.

Room was not particularly clean, no bedbugs but there was a cockroach in the shower that made us not use it for the majority of the stay. I didn’t see that mentioned in reviews, might be a new thing. Mystery stains on bedsheets and floors and bathrooms weren’t the cleanest, also almost none of the outlets worked for some reason. And the cable didn’t work either, just the smart tv. Says the place is soundproof, you can definitely still hear people around you and planes taking off too. If you just need a night to rest your head, perfectly fine. If you also need to take a shower, would not recommend.

At first glance it was a little intimidating. But it's right on the bay beautiful and plenty areas to sit and take in nature , my room smelled like smoke but they changed it quickly and it was okay . It seems that they did a good job of renovating the rooms. I would go back again.

For the most part it was okay. It was in a nice area and you could go out and see the water and ships. The rooms are very small though and the beds were awful uncomfortable. You could feel the metal bedframe. Our showerhead wasnt fully connected to the wall and we had issues with the water preassure. The staff was nice though. If I only needed to stay a day it is good but I would not stay any extended time
