Shuttle was prompt for pick up at airport. Easy check in with kind staff. Busy day with lots of flights cancelations due to weather. We did lose power in the hotel for awhile this evening.

Breakfast should have started at 6. I wasted time looking for the front desk assistant to check me out because no one was at the desk. Someone showed up and told me I can just go. An information like this at booking would help save time. Staff didn’t seem welcoming enough. I expected better for the rate.

Well, I wasn't feeling good & my grandsons took the ice bucket tray to bring me breakfast & was told that's not allowed. So my husband went and made two trips. Overall, he should have allowed them to bring me breakfast on the ice bucket tray. ;)

Tina

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was pretty tired with few amenities. It is in a very unusual location sandwiched between two historical sites (an early quarantine hospital that was a pre Ellis Island place to process immigrants in the nineteenth century and a site commemorating an early Swedish settlement in the area). The hotel itself however, is dominated by a huge and very ugly parking lot. It is right next to the Delaware River but apparently no architect was involved in its design because there is not a single window facing the river or the nature preserve that is on the other side! No breakfast, obviously PLENTY of parking, a good location to get into Philadelphia but very few dining options in the immediate area. Very basic and not all that clean...
