You could tell the property had been upgraded as best it could be. The area was slightly sketchy. However, it was well worth the money for a quick stay and the customer service was great!

An unexpected surprise... Small but clean room, good heat, nice hot shower, extra-comfortable bed. Brand new massive Wawa across the street with everything you need for a full meal or munchie attack at any hour of the day or night... overly convenient... Park in front of your room and walk or take the trolley to everything...

Great hotel, room was clean, bathroom was spotless, it had a min fridge and small microwave hotel was quiet .Right across the street from the trolley system that leads into Philly and the outskirts of Philly which is very convenient, walking distance from a Wawa. Very friendly staff definitely would book here again next time I come to Philadelphia

The manager was nice enough to let us in to change before a wedding we came to attend, even though it was before check-in. The room was cleaned up excellently. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Convenience

Enjoyed our one night stay. Very convenient to serve our purpose. The gentleman at check-in was very kind and pleasant. He offered whatever we needed if there were any issues. Wasn't looking for anything extravagant, just to accommodate a good night's sleep and a fresh hot shower. Sometimes customers expect too much, but we were more than happy with our stay. Thank you!
