We had a wonderful stay here and plan to return! The room was spacious and clean, a convenient location and my kids loved the pool. It was such a bonus that the water temperature was nice and warm! The breakfast was great, and we loved coming back in the afternoon to complimentary cookies out!

For our purposes - 4-day visit to Philly - it was good; we had our grandchildren with us and they loved using the pool every late afternoon after the “educational” part of the day! Would have liked more dining options (had to get into car for food items).

This is an affordable option just 15 minutes from Philadelphia's center city. The kids love the swimming pool. And an outdoor walking/jogging and biking trail passes right by the hotel.

This is a beautifully designed hotel, which has incorporated an existing ironworks factory. The indoor pool is actually heated! (Not always the case). The interior of the hotel is nicely decorated, and the outside area provides various types of recreation for families, including a walkway along the river. I highly recommend this hotel.

We had a really pleasant stay! The staff was really friendly and the room/lobby etc very clean and updated. The pool was beautiful and warm with a nice amount of shallow water for my little ones to paddle around safely. The complimentary coffee was delicious and a nice touch.

Our family had 8 rooms reserved. Our only regret is that there was no restaurant in the hotel Monday.
