Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I booked this hotel based on its four-star rating on Expedia and high guest reviews, but I feel the ratings may be misleading, and I regret not paying more attention to the negative reviews, as they turned out to be more accurate. There is no dedicated parking at the hotel, and you’ll find yourself parking in the surrounding sketchy neighborhood, which is not ideal particularly at night. The area, which is near Temple University, feels unsafe and there are abandoned buildings across the street from the hotel. I use the term “hotel” loosely, as the place doesn't offer the experience one might expect from a four-star establishment. There is no traditional front desk service, as check-in is handled by someone from a third-party company, and check-in consists of signing in on a legal pad. The stale atmosphere in the common areas—both in terms of smell and aesthetics—left a lot to be desired. Given the overall disappointing conditions, I chose not to even enter the room and immediately requested a refund, which was unfortunately denied. If you're a young traveler looking for a basic, no-frills place to sleep and don’t mind the area, this hotel might work for you. However, if you’re seeking a more refined experience or planning a romantic getaway, I would advise looking elsewhere.
