We walked 3 blocks to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and visitor center. The Museum of the American Revolution is right across the street. Fantastic museum. The hotel has a tea time 4:00-6:00PM. You can relax with coffee, tea, and cookies. My senior family member needed a shower bench. Their staff quickly delivered it to our room. I really appreciate their thoughtful attention. The breakfast was great! Yogurt, fruits, oatmeal, scramble eggs, etc. We had a dinner at a restaurant nearby called Society Hill Hotel. They had a fantastic roast port sandwich and good desserts! I want to come back to this hotel and the restaurant again!
The room is small and no drawer or closet. But I do not mind it at all for this cute hotel.

All the staff I came in contact with were so nice and friendly. I wish I wasn’t in town for a concert because then I would’ve have time to explore the neighborhood. It was chill but lively with many different restaurants around. Was on a relatively quiet and non-busy street. Parking was secure with helpful attendants, and not too far of a walk. I have hypermobility spectrum disorder so I would’ve been put out by a long walk. Breakfast goes until 10am which is great if you’re a late sleeper. Drop off/loading in front of the hotel was always available to me. Breakfast was a tier above a boring continental breakfast. The room had such high ceilings so the room being a more pragmatic size didn’t make me feel claustrophobic. Blackout curtains at tricky because if you oversleep your alarm you might wake up closer to noon lol I also liked the small size of the room since I was solo and the bathroom was roomy.
It was a bit inconvenient that the ice machine and soda snacks and sundry were in one location but this is a smaller property so it wasn’t too bad. I can see the drop off/unloading area being a problem if the hotel experiences high traffic. I could tell it was renovated by certain edges of the bathroom but most people wouldn’t notice. Window to other rooms and alley may bother folks but I was just there to sleep and regroup. The building is weirdly warm in the hallways and elevator but the rooms are good.

Loved that it was a historic venue! Right in the heart of colonial Philly. I was only a 5+ walk from the liberty bell! Maybe a smidge longer if you walk slow or have kiddos, but no more than 10 minutes! But expect stops along the way as there is plenty to see in regards to colonial style buildings etc. It is across the street from the museum of the American revolutionary. Everything I wanted to see was less than a 10 minute walk away! The gelato shop a couple doors down was very good, I recommend the pistachio (but I wouldn’t bother with their tiramisu - a smidge dry). Very cute rooms, incredibly high ceilings so even though it was a smaller room - it still felt big! For a solo traveler this was perfect. Very peaceful. They also had cookies in the afternoon and a coffee/tea/cocoa packet station for 24/7 hot drinks in the lobby. The included breakfast was great! They even had a waffle iron with the liberty bell inside it! The staff were all kind and helpful. I used their luggage hold as I arrived a few hours early at the hotel, this was a helpful thing to do! I would recommend this place! I also felt it was affordable for being right in the heart of colonial Philly with so much of the things I wanted to see less than 10 minutes away!!
Only wish they had a microwave in each room for my leftovers but no biggie, just means I had to go enjoy a big fat slice of pizza from down the road from this cute pizzeria that you can buy by the slice!! Think it was only like 2 doors down from the hotel. Then hop right next door to the gelato shop!

The location is fantastic. You can visit many attractions by just walking. The wifi is good. The breakfast is not excellent, but beyond average. I couldn't feel the historicity much, but the whole district is historical; you're embedded in it. There are many drinking and eating places around the hotel. The staff was very friendly.
The room for two persons was small, so we felt cramped. The bed and the bathroom were also small. You should check the size of the room before you book. Maybe I have chosen the wrong room, but that was the affordable one for us.

Great historic hotel right in the historic district of Philadelphia. Only stayed two nights, but we had a lovely and large room with comfortable beds, a good sized modern bathroom and view of main street. The room was clean and the staff were all helpful. The location of the hotel is amazing, with restaurants, cafes and bars and city sights all close and accessible.
The breakfast options were okay, not amazing. Could improve by having an automatic coffee machine to dispense cappuccinos and lattes etc. Standard in Europe now. And I was surprised the carpets in lifts, on stairs and hallways were a bit grubby which really made the place feel less special. Maybe a shampoo or replace? The carpets in our room were totally fine and everything else was great, so management could get that fixed easily, and it would improve first impressions by 100%. But none of that took away from it being a v. nice place to stay, with 'old town' Philly literally out the front door.

Great location 10 min walk to historic sites, restaurants, bars, and waterfront. Paid parking a blk away. Room was small/medium with no view, but very quiet and very comfortable. Queen bed (double?) with narrow amt of space on either side of bed. Firm-ish (not soft) bed, good pillows. Spacious and nice bathroom. Good lighting and sufficient outlets. Breakfast had enough options eggs, meat, breads, waffles, cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit - not high end, but more than sufficient. Nice and helpful staff at the desk. Crystal, who works in the breakfast room was super nice.
We would have liked a king bed, but I think it's not available due to the historic nature of the building. Also, our room didn't have a view, also due to where the building is, in the historic district. Front rooms (facing the street) would have a view, but may be noisy?

This is a small (almost boutique) hotel. On the floor on which I stayed there were 9 rooms. This place is a historic building--from 1857 or thereabouts, and it has served as a number of businesses over the years. Recently, it has been renovated and is a first-rate hotel. Although the rooms are not cavernous, they are pleasant--as befits an older building, with very high ceilings. The bed was comfortable, and the quality of the sheets and pillow cases was excellent. I hope that I have the opportunity to return to Philadelphia in the next few years, If I do, I will stay at this hotel.

The room was great. Main floor and had a very high ceiling. Probably over 20'. Bed was comfortable. Space was solid and the bathroom was good, too. The location was extremely convenient to the history we were looking to tour. Even on an extremely hot day, we could get about early and weren't more than 10 minutes walk from most of what we wanted to see. Staff was great! Breakfast was great, too!
I think the price for the spacious ceiling was not having a great exterior view. But we spent very little time in the room, awake. So that wasn't very relevant for this trip.

The quaint charm of the hotel immediately relaxes you as you walk in. The location is real good , almost in between everything and major Philly historic attractions. The staff are exemplary, courteous , concerned and warm hearted and super fkrcmxible. The rooms are rightly comfortable for good night's rest after those long tiring days. And the all day coffee and afternoon cookies makes the stay real fun. A highly recommended hotel to stay at.

The location is great. It is right next to the Museum of Revolution and about 5-10 minutes walk to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The staff are friendly. Our train was at 3 pm and we returned to the hotel around 1 pm. We just sat in the lobby and enjoyed the air conditioning as well as the water/coffee/tea. The staff didn't say anything and asked if we needed help. The hotel is a historical building but the facilities are modern and fantastic. The hotel provides cookies from 4-6 pm but we were out so hope someone can enjoy it.
The breakfast could add more options. When I wanted to add a second cup of coffee, two bottles were all empty.
