I love how close proximity the hotel is to everything. The septa Surburban stop was a 6-minute walk. Shopping and dining options all walkable. The buses are right around the corner. The only con is that the restaurant does not serve dinner.

OK but not as good as it used to be
Our stay was basically fine, but there were a few disappointing issues. There was no door stop/chain/blocker on the door so staff member was able to walk in on us with unexpected delivery… it was disturbing… No in-room coffee and lobby coffee wasn’t hot. No more in-room bathrobes. BUT. the room was clean and quiet. So that was good.

Went for breakfast 9.15 am sunday with prepaid breakfast and asked if we had a reservation. No one said you needed a reservation Told they are booked out. No other option given such as we can bring it to your room. Unbelievable way to treat paying guests
