We stayed in a king suite for several days while a relative was at CHOP. We were the first occupants to use the newly renovated rooms. Excellent breakfast on the 20th floor. The king bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the large living room only had one standing lamp so the room was poorly lit and unfit for reading. Also, the single uncomfortable chair should be replaced by two chairs to accommodate watching TV. I switched to parking at CHOP since the 24 hr rate was less than 10% of the hotel rate ($50+). Excellent staff; room architect/designer not so much.
