Modern interior, close to Penn. I wish the blinds in the room were blackout shades. Sunlight comes into the bedroom directly.

The hotel is located in a great neighborhood and close to Drexel/UPenn with shopping and food selection around the area. Pretty walkable and clean. The bathroom can use a venting fan, and another bottle of body wash instead of bar soap. But overall, the suite is great!

I would have given 5 stars because property was beautiful and clean with a great view. However website says free parking and it’s $32 for the entire night. Then the garage is a little shady. Other than that we loved the hotel accommodations
