ROOST East Market

Center City

10/10 Excellent

If I could give Roost East Market more than five stars, I would. The entire experience was seamless. The apartment and building were so comfortable.

We were able to store our bikes and they were kind enough to give us a late check out. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would love to stay here again next time we are...

This stay was Awesome. We came in for a Family Funeral but left smiling. The staff (especially Dominque) was attentive, knowledgeable, empathetic and a breath of fresh air. The breakfast was tasty.

I loved the visual atmosphere and to not actually hear the trains while I was resting. The courtyard...

The breakfast was excellent and the man that worked in there was even better. Super friendly and helpful on suggestions on what to do in Philadelpia. We went out one morning and the battery was dead on our rental car and the manager himself came out and got us started. Overall it was a wonderful...
