⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John L. — 5/26/2026
“We’re local and like to stay here for special occasions. It’s a 100-year-old former factory / warehouse, now beautifully remodeled and decorated in fine art pieces. Walking distance to Penn Medicine Stadium and easy access to downtown. Breakfast was good — pancakes, bacon, eggs, pastries. Nothing special, but it’s included!”
