Travel tips
Because the property is off I‑95 in an industrial/commercial area, allow extra time for arrival and use the exact address (43 Industrial Hwy, Essington, PA 19029) when navigating. If you’re planning to visit central Philadelphia attractions (e.g., Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Museum District), expect a drive of roughly 13–16 km each way. Reviewers also flag noise and communication issues, so confirm key policies directly with the front desk before arrival when possible.
What guests say
Reviews mention occasional positives around value and some guests reporting clean rooms and efficient front-desk help. However, multiple excerpts highlight serious cleanliness concerns involving pests. Operational communication is a recurring issue, with guests describing surprises around deposits, limited refund windows, and a lack of clarity on basics like Wi‑Fi and advertised services. Some reviewers also point to noise, a run-down condition, difficulty finding the property, and negative interactions at the front desk.
