    The room was comfortable, with a double bed and air conditioning. There was an electric kettle in the room as well as tea/coffee. The location is great: the hotel is located right in the city centre, on one of the main shopping streets, so there were many food stores and restaurants just outside. Although the hotel is not on Rittenhouse Square itself, one can easily walk there in 5-10 minutes.
