We liked our stay very much. Our room was spacious and clean. The neighborhood is excellent and walkable, with a lot of shops and restaurants. The lack of any staff present was frustrating at times as there were login issues with the app at check in and I had to call customer service to get our building entry code.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The place was very comfortable and clean. Great communication with management. Only problem was the elevator was broken. Carrying heavy bags up and down the stairs was very difficult.
I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this hotel in Queens Village. Completely contactless so a wee bit "unwelcoming at first glance"- the room was immaculate, location perfect for me and bed was super comfy. Shower was strong and hot water unlimited. Basic amenities of a Kureig with coffee and a few teas, mini fridge and a few drawers and hangers were suitable for a 3-night stay. Restaurants of every flavor within a few blocks
The building itself was secure and easy to find. I had no issues accessing the building. The room was clean and nice, and it was a short uber to just about anything I wanted to do!
Great place to stay! Walkable to all of the Philly fun!

Disliked: Amenities
This property is not located in safe neighborhoods of Philadelphia and also does not show up on the GPS correctly. Expedia should refrain from hosting such properties
Fully automated check-in and property access make arrival easy.
Please replace keypad on front door. Numbers are worn off and Bluetooth electronic key doesn't work. Backlit version would be best.
