Hollis, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay. This was our first time in Philly and Rittenhouse Sq area was recommended. The hotel is small, the room was nicely decorated, had all we needed. The breakfast was simple enough to hit the spot. The staff were fabulous but Addison was my favourite. Nice to be welcomed with a kiss when you entered the lobby!! (Addison is a black lab in case you were wondering 😜). We walked all over the city with ease, never felt unsafe and even took in a Phillies game via the subway…super efficient. We loved Philadelphia and look forward to visiting again.

Disappointed with this property. While the location is good and the staff is amazing…the room lacked AC controls, no mini fridge, no desk, very small and cramped.
