Fantastic and affordable place to stay when visiting Philadelphia. Very close accessibility to I-95 and just a few mins from Downtown Philly. I couldnt have been happier with the stay my son and I had!

Needs a total renovation
The hotel is creepy; not well maintained, needs painting. Rooms were a decent size but they need a total renovation. Furniture was out of date and beat up. The guy who checked me in told me they had just raised their prices because there was a rain storm and many flights had been cancelled at Philadelphia International. Musty odor everywhere.

It was a delight to find this property on such short notice. I had checked in and checked right out of a 4 star hotel in the city due to the fact that it was disgusting. I needed a one night stay. I took my time and read so many reviews of local airport hotels to come across this one. I am pleased with my choice as it checked the boxes for what I needed. I came in really late and there was a line but the two ladies working the front desk were very pleasant and accommodating to everyone including myself. The room was clean! Very clean, no smell, no mold, no rust etc like the hotel I had previously checked out of. This seemed to be an older property but room was maintained. Decently priced as well.

Our room was not clean. Things left behind from prior stay. Breakfast was not kept stocked - seemed to be an inconvenience. The front desk staff was night, especially the black woman during the evening/night shift.
