  : Great little place very close to where I needed to be in bala cynwd. Has amenities like a gym and indoor pool two restaurants 24 hour coffee, tea, water and small snack shop. Friendly staff.
  : Uncomfortable Bed and pillows. Bed leaned to the left slightly, pillows uncomfortable. Breakfast closes at 9 which is a little early. The casual restaurant closes at 6 which is to early which leaves only a the more formal place as an option if you need to stay in.

  : Location near a river. And the presence of a top notch restaurant nearby.
  : I was very displeased by how it is was impossible to raise the temperature inside the room above 78 degrees farhenheit. When we arrived, the temperature had been set at 56: that is insane as the summer outside is lovely and I love to be warm. We stayed 3 nights and requested no room service so as to not disturb our "heat" setting, but the temperature really never lifted above 78 degrees in spite of my 84 degree setting. I was cold at night and no blanket were provided in the room. Meanwhile, the vents that conduct both AC air and heating air are very noisy (that would account for why I cannot complain about any neighbor's noise: the heating made so much noise it would have been difficult to hear anything else!) On the second day, we also noticed strange beige flakes gathering on the black TV stand and some on our bed stands as well. Where did these particles came from? It had to be the heat vent. Every morning we cleared the flakes, but they came back by the evening- as the vents kept roaring. I am never coming back to this poorly designed hotel. It is nice to rehabilitate an old building in an interesting location, but the architecture is not stunning, and the decor is all plastic, fake wood and cheap fake tiles. The heating ducts are noisy, and we might have been breathing all night bad chemicals in the form of bizarre flakes oozing out of the ducts. Also, the water quality from the taps was VERY subpar- smelly and chlorinated to the hilt. I liked to drink water from municipal sources: this was the wrong place to do that, unfortunately.
