Beautiful room and amazing view. Bed was super comfortable. I wish it had a mini fridge and that I could have used my streaming subscriptions on the TV. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was very good.

Happy Thanksgiving
Amazing peaceful neighborhood. We stayed on Wednesday night so that we could see the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day parade. My only issue was parking. We used a neighboring garage and the doors were on the opposite side of hotel. By no means not hotels fault. Just a heads up to others for there stay. Maybe use valet parking

My husband and I stayed for one night at The Study and had a great experience. Staff were efficient and friendly. The room size was just right and the bed was super comfortable. Would be happy to stay here again the next time we’re in University City.

Very beautifully designed modern hotel with easy access to Penn and Drexel. Very short walk to 30th street station for Amtrak. Rooms are very comfortable and thoughtful with wireless phone chargers and latest in-room technology. Love staying here and the restaurant is another plus.

Very nice
Really nice property conveniently located. A couple of quirks: rooms don’t generally have coffeemakers so you have to request them. And there were miscommunications around that. Also no ice bucket in room, you have to go request one in the restaurant. Also not clear on check in if there is a gym available. I got the impression that folks who stay there are either with conferences that are organizing everything for them, or that they stay there often. Anyway. All the staff are lovely.

The staff is absolutely incredible, especially the doorman. the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside is parking. It seemed that there was no overnight parking in the area (if there was, I could not find it), so valet was pretty much your only option. I will definitely be returning.
