Great location, easy check-in
The location was great and the easy check-in was convenient. The bed was a bit squeaky and loud, but fine comfort wise. I enjoyed the security of the building and that it's attached to a restaurant. Would stay here again.

Great area. Lots of families live in this area. Within walking distance to everything in Philly. Parking was across the street and was affordable. Room was comfortable, and the bar service was perfect

Convenient, comfortable and clean
The room was great! Clean, thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. The location couldn’t be beat either. Only caveat-there are no live people! And the downstairs restaurant is not officially connected to the rooms but it’s a yummy spot!

Excellent value
Checking in requires the use of an app… no front desk staff… location and price were outstanding… an excellent value. Onsite restaurant and bar ( not affiliated with the hotel) was pleasant as well.

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.

The Queen did not disappoint
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
