“Excellent food and room service. Very accommodating staff were friendly and helpful. History is all around this pet friendly hotel. Independence hall and the Liberty bell are on the adjacent block. Portrait gallery is across the street and The Museum of the American Revolution is a block away. The hotel was under renovations which promises to make this an even better experience for our future return.”
