I thought the property even though older building was very clean and staff excellent. We had shuttle from airport to hotel and was able to get our room right away. Close to some restaurants and the casino a short drive away. Would stay there again.

Always a good spot to stay when flying out. The first room they gave us the prior people smoked weed i. The room and it just stunk of it, they immediately changed our room with and upgrade. Super customservice oriented here. Place needs updating a bit but still worth the stay when flying out. The free shuttle to the sirport and back is nice.

Stay someplace else!!!
The front desk was polite and professional, that's where it stops. The bar/restaurant closed at 10 even though the website and door say 1 am. This was one reason we went to this hotel. We got to the room and were welcomed to stained floors, hair in the sinks, tub and bathroom floor (the short and curly kind) alongwith a dirty toilet. The bathroom sink was completely clogged. We were only there a short time and went to a concert. On the way out, I informed the front desk about the issues and they said it would be taken care of. They asked permission to go in to the room with us gone and I told them that they could. We got back and the messes were still there along with the still standing water in the sink. The bed was awful, the heater/AC unit stunk when I turned it on. The only good part was the balcony because I could escape the room for a few minutes. I didn't know there would have been an option for photos or I would have gladly shared for everyone to see.

Stayed 3 days 2 nights the elevator floors were filthy dirty.. the mattress on bed was collapsed when you sat or laid on it the springs made lots of noise and poked you on your body. The water in shower and sink never got hot when using. Hotel decor is very old and deteriorating in lots of areas.

I have taken photos of the issues. The sink took forever to drain. Spackle tape was peeling off the wall. The bed sagged badly. The door was coming apart. Waited for 20 minutes in the restaurant to be seated although the place was empty. Menu was very sparse and waited 15 minutes to place an order but no one came to take it so we left. We travel often out of Philly and use the park and lock facility next door. We were planning on staying from now on the night prior so there would be no rushing. Your facility is terrible.

Not worth the money. Consider any other options.
Positives: front desk people were very helpful, friendly, and very welcoming. That's really about it. Bed sheets looked like they were clean. Negatives: Paid $185 for an outdated hotel that wasn't clean. Carpet was stained. Room and hallways smelled like an odd combination of mold and marijuana. Bed felt like I was sleeping on a 30 year old mattress. No real amenities aside from an overpriced snack shop near the front desk. They have a restaurant, but it's only open for six hours and doesn't open until 4. No breakfast in the lobby that I saw. Parking lot was full of trash and had broken bottles in the lot. I found this out when I ran over a bottle when I left the hotel after check-in because of the previously mentioned restaurant not being open. I believe there was a wedding or a room up front for a dance club. Not a big deal, but also didn't see it mentioned in the hotel description. So if you're the type that likes to go to sleep early, then get ready to hear boom-BOOM-BOOOOM! until midnight, and this was from the top floor. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not. This hotel looks like it was nice at one time (probably in 1991), but it looks and feels like it has been neglected beside the occasional sloppy paint job. If you need to stay near tisj location because of parking and flying from the airport, there are probably better options on Industrial Highway that probably come at a better price.
