I loved this hotel! It's in the heart of the city, just across the street from City Hall, making it super convenient to explore downtown Philly. The rooms were spacious and modern with a view of Love Park, and the amenities were fantastic. The service could improve a bit, but the friendly staff tried their best. The location is unbeatable, and you can easily walk to most attractions. One downside is that the dining options were limited, but the world-famous seasoned fries were a hit!
