I spent one night here and upon entering I was greeted by a lovely woman named Linda who showed me around the house and told me the history. The room was clean and spacious with a TV and plenty of books. Breakfast was healthy and simple which I appreciated. Walking distance to parks and coffee shops. When I checked out Julio was very helpful and help my bags. Overall I look forward to staying here again!

The complementary breakfast is lavish. It doesn't seem to have any parking. It's beautiful and charming, but because it was built in 1787, the floors are uneven in places, and it has no elevator so it's not a good hotel for old people.

Liked: Charming historic house. Super friendly staff. Room/suite clean and spacious. Great value for the money.
Below par: the morning continental breakfast is served in a historic dining room -- but there was hardly enough space on the credenza for the food, plates were tiny and the selection was very limited. If this got improved a bit, it would be a 5-star experience.

Charming, comfortable, quaint stay with a great location and welcoming staff. Room was clean with nice king bed. Bathroom was newly renovated. Staff was very friendly and helpful especially Fred? gentleman who organized morning breakfast, who helped us even at 6:00am. Hard to believe we were in the heart of Philadelphia, more like a country b n b.

This is a lovingly maintained historic hotel! The room was spotless, the bed was super-comfortable and the noise level is very low. Also, the water pressure is great and we loved the heated towel rack! Also, thank you so much to Jim at the front desk - he was awesome and so nice and friendly!
