Great Hotel with amazing location and amazing staf

Front desk was WONDERFUL. Was able to check in early because our room was ready. Valet parking was a breeze with in and out privileges too(they can pull up your car and re-park it) Not far from the convention center and in a good place with CVS and Wawa nearby. Comfy beds and pillows. 10/10 would definitely stay here again

Good location

Location was great for sight seeing. Room although small was nice. A/C was not great (couldn't get the room very cold). Pool location was cool but very small and closes early. Fees and parking were outrageous. Parking garage across the street $12 a night vs the $59 Zena charges.
