Great experience
There are everything you need for the stay. Even if you need something extra order such as toilet paper or bath towel, you just need to text and they bring it later. you don't need to run to the counter. That's wonderful part especially us because we have small kids.

Loved the room and all the amenities that was inside.
It was a great stay. Very good hotel, clean and nice staff. The only negative was that one of the elevators was not working and so it made for big delays during busy times of day.

The hotel is conveniently located on Walnut and 41st. The staff was helpful and rooms were good. We had booked a suite style room and our teenage kids slept in a pull out bed with us in the adjacent room. The only drawback I thought was the breakfast. Rather not buy the breakfast with room.
