Good price for location and service! Here's a few things, valet parking only ($38) so that's an added expense. Also, you can "check in early" but you won't be able to get to your room until 3 pm. We arrived around 1 and they kept our bags for free and we were able to get exploring around Philly. We usually only stay a night, so if you're looking to do some more exploring, past the noon checkout time, you can keep your car in the valet until 5 pm. Bags, you say? For $1, I repeat, ONE DOLLAR/bag, they will store your luggage safely until you are ready to depart.

As for the room, we've always had a clean and well-appointed room. They're not the largest, but they're very nice and again, for the location and amenities of the hotel, they're great. Would not really recommend the restaurant Urbantenotecha(?), they're good for breakfast, but otherwise... not so much. Take advantage of your location and visit some better offerings.

Have not used the Audi A8 car service, but it's free and we have a room booked next month, plan on using it to get to our destination. If you have questions as to how far the car service goes, be sure to ask when you are booking the room. I asked and after a few minutes, they verified they would take us there.

Overall, check this place out. It's not the absolute best, but for the price, is well located, well appointed, and has a generally friendly/helpful staff. Don't be too snobby, lol.

UPDATE: I believe they raised the price for the bag check to $2-3 per bag.
