The property outside needs a TLC, the rooms are newly remodeled, looked amazing. They did a great job. The deck out by the river was nice to sit and relax on. They were working when we entered the front office and we had a bad feeling but once we saw the rooms, no problem, rooms were great, have to see..I will stay again. Also great to park and fly!

For the most part it was okay. It was in a nice area and you could go out and see the water and ships. The rooms are very small though and the beds were awful uncomfortable. You could feel the metal bedframe. Our showerhead wasnt fully connected to the wall and we had issues with the water preassure. The staff was nice though. If I only needed to stay a day it is good but I would not stay any extended time

The hotel is absolutely stunning. Our room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. We reserved a waterfront room, and it offered the most breathtaking view of the River—truly the highlight of our stay. I highly recommend this hotel; it's conveniently located near Philadelphia and offers ample parking, making it both accessible and relaxing.

At first glance it was a little intimidating. But it's right on the bay beautiful and plenty areas to sit and take in nature , my room smelled like smoke but they changed it quickly and it was okay . It seems that they did a good job of renovating the rooms. I would go back again.
