We stayed here for 3 nights during the 4th of July. We got an online offer staying 3 night 3rd night free so it was a amazingly good deal. I was very surprised when I first got to the hotel. I had much lower expectation of the hotel so when I saw a bright and spacious lobby and reception area I felt quite impressed. Their website said they had started the renovation many months ago and I thought by the time we got there it was probably all done. Some guest room doors were still being painted. However we weren't disturbed by the fume from inside our room. The hotel seems to identify themselves with more modern design. The toiletry was very nice. So here's the summary of my review:
Pros: 15-min drive to downtown Philly, 10 to University district--nice decor--fairly clean overall--quiet even though it sits right off of the interstates--amazing deal for special rate.
Cons: fume in hallway from paint-- $6/day parking--there's only 1 restaurant nearby(not walkable).
