My daughter is a student at Drexel so we have stayed at The Study many times and wouldn't stay anywhere else in University City. As a matter of fact, I just did a search today to see where there are other locations.

ice maker/machine not available. no refrigerator in room. When i approached the front desk to check out, instead of receiving a greeting or getting services, the staff went on to talk to another hotel staff (to answer his question) who arrived at the desk right after me.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect—close to local attractions but still quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. I especially loved the breakfast brunch at the Co-Op restaurant —fresh, delicious, and with plenty of options. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again…PS: Parking charges were a bit too high in my humble opinion.
