Eggs and bacon were very overcooked and asked to redo but were no better second time. Valet communication was very poor. We notified them more than 30 minutes in advance twice and they did not communicate to bring the car around. When we went downstairs they had no indication

A Gem
I’ve stayed at The Study 4 times now since my daughter started at Drexel in the fall of 2024. The proximity to campus cannot be beat and the hotel itself is wonderful.

6/10 Good

The lobby is was under construction as well as the restaurant so there was nowhere else in the build to go and get food. I also got shocked every time I pressed the elevator button. I will say the whole was very quite and I was able to relax. They were also not clear on where to park until afterwards so I want an extra $22 on a parking garage that didn’t allow overnight parking.

We’ll be back!
We are here for a medical appointment. Crazy trip into Phillie but the stag here is phenomenal! Only issue is parking. I chose not to have valet parking but now have unanswered questions on how to pay for the parking at the lot when we leave. Wish the staff had mentioned at checkin the actual cost of valet parking and all the benefits.

Perfect place near UPenn
I needed a place to stay while my husband had a procedure at the university of Penn. It was a short walk from the hospital. They had a restaurant attached to the hotel. It was closed for a private event, but they were able to send food to the room. It was delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving
Amazing peaceful neighborhood. We stayed on Wednesday night so that we could see the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day parade. My only issue was parking. We used a neighboring garage and the doors were on the opposite side of hotel. By no means not hotels fault. Just a heads up to others for there stay. Maybe use valet parking

8/10 Very Good

Very nice
Really nice property conveniently located. A couple of quirks: rooms don’t generally have coffeemakers so you have to request them. And there were miscommunications around that. Also no ice bucket in room, you have to go request one in the restaurant. Also not clear on check in if there is a gym available. I got the impression that folks who stay there are either with conferences that are organizing everything for them, or that they stay there often. Anyway. All the staff are lovely.

The staff is absolutely incredible, especially the doorman. the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside is parking. It seemed that there was no overnight parking in the area (if there was, I could not find it), so valet was pretty much your only option. I will definitely be returning.
