Easy access to UPenn campus makes this a no-brainer. Satisfied with a clean, comfortable stay. Not the fanciest place (hotel lobby is ho-hum), and I had difficulty getting the heating in my room to operate properly (hold down the temperature buttons, and you'll need to constantly jack up the temperature to get the unit to kick in instead of just blowing air). Internet access in room, even if you don't have a device, which is unique - had to shut off the monitor at night though because the light is bothersome).

Place was affordable, parking is on premises and $25 a night. Internet is free and there is a computer in each room. Starbucks coffee in the rooms and there is a Starbucks a minute from the hotel. The blue line is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. There are a few cool little spots a block down from the hotel, I can't think of the exact name but is something like the dog cafe. Also there is a little convenience store across the street.

If you're looking for convenience, this hotel has it. There are some great restaurants within walking distance. The train station is a short cab ride away (would have walked it, but the train station security strongly advised against it). The metro is just around the corner.

HOWEVER, this hotel was not quiet at all, and repeated complaints to management resulted in no help. Beds were average, cleanliness average, staff were if average help.

High points:
- nice view (we were on 18th floor),
- reasonably quiet,
- comfortable bed
- good-sized room - we had 2 cribs inside ours and still had space to move around. (The cribs took some time to be delivered to our room; fortunately, we weren't in a rush.)
- great restaurant
- very convenient to university city

Low points:
- there can be quite a wait for the elevator, especially at busy times of the day or if an event lets out downstairs
- building is old, though the furnishings are new
- parking lot is very cramped

Overall, if you're looking to stay in University City, this is a good choice.
