Frommer's Review
This half-hotel, half-apartment building is popular for families planning extended stays in the city. It's very close to the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, City Hall -- and shopping. The lobby is pleasant enough. Most rooms have balconies. Living rooms and bedrooms are spacious and bland, with large, efficiency-style kitchens, including pots, pans, dishware, and utensils. All suites were renovated in 2003 and have marble bathrooms; the one-bedroom suites have a king-size bed and a pull-out sofa in the living room. Another bonus: the rooftop pool with a view of the city.
Facilities:
Restaurant; rooftop pool; 24-hr. fitness center; laundry service

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
