The parking was safe and convenient. The decor was very fun and colorful. It looks like a lot of work is being done in the lower levels, but the lobby and bedroom are complete and show lots of creativity, which is nice when all can't be updated at once. Our bathroom was completely renovated and lovely! As we were on the 4th floor and it was a busy weekend, I was not expecting awesome water pressure, but it was fine if you were not washing a lot of hair. The staff are super nice and friendly, and I think the inn is a great deal for the area!

I love the decor it was a pretty neat little hotel! I stayed here for the Goose concert at the Mann. It was a nice 20-25 minute walk to the music venue which is exactly what I wanted. Great food right across the street. Overall I was super happy with the stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Poor hotel

When we checked in, we noticed the room had no closet, the shades were stuck in the unfurled position, and there was a bad odor. We complained at the front desk, and were given a different room. But still no closet to hang out clothes.

Decent hotel for a one night stay. Caught a show at the Mann and iIt was walkable. Hotel was decent and comfortable. Felt pretty safe too. Room seemed a bit dated, but at the same time came with some high tech amenities that stood out. Would stay here again if I’m back to see a show at the Mann.

The hotel smelled strongly of weed. The bathroom sink was clogged. Cheap hotel near outskirts of Philly. If you’re looking for a bed and a shower for a night or two, it’s ok.

The front desk attendants were very friendly and helpful. Parking was OK. The hotel itself could use improvements. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. However, the furniture was very worn and stained. The hotel was Very Loud--we were kept up all night by partiers, slamming doors, etc. When we complained about the noise, we were told "people here are crazy." We do not recommend this hotel.

⭐☆☆☆☆ If Hunter S. Thompson designed a hotel during a fever dream and outsourced the construction to a haunted circus, this would be the result. Let’s break it down: We were greeted in the lobby by a man who could only be described as a part-time pimp, full-time philosopher. He nodded once, then vanished into a bead curtain. The walls? Covered in AstroTurf. Because who hasn’t looked at a football field and thought, “Yes… this belongs in a hallway.” The floors were so slippery I moonwalked to the elevator by accident—and I wasn’t even wearing socks. Every guest looked like they were halfway through auditioning for a reboot of Ripley’s Believe It or Not. I'm not saying I saw a man with two bellybuttons, but I’m also not saying I didn’t. There was a roach in the bathroom who looked like he paid rent. The water pressure was so low I had to choose between washing one armpit or crying. I chose both. The air smelled like regret, pickles, and something that once might’ve been a candle. No Bible in the nightstand—just a sticky note that said “Good luck.” The parking situation involved crossing a highway on foot and leaving your car in what used to be an abandoned Chili’s. Pretty sure it’s now a raccoon dojo. The only saving grace? It’s close to the Mann Center, so if you live through the night, you can still catch a decent concert. All in all, I came for a bed and a shower and left with questions about the fabric of reality.
