Pros: The breakfast was to die for. Something different every day, from Eggs Benedict to eggs and mushrooms, and always delicious. The house itself was charming, and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. Also ideally located for the University of Pennsylvania, which was where I needed to be. I really enjoyed it, and would definitely stay there again.

I really enjoyed it, and would definitely stay there again.
Cons: It's a house, so the doors aren't necessarily the greatest at blocking out sound. There was a noticeable gap at the bottom of my door, and I could easily hear anyone in the hallway. It didn't bother me, and no one was loud late, but it could be a problem if you're very susceptible to noise. Also, some people might not be comfortable with walking back alone from the university area at night: it's about a mile and tends to be pretty quiet, passing the edge of a cemetery and a park. I have no reason to think it's unsafe, but if such things make you nervous, be aware.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. Waffles were the special feature and they were willing to accommodate my gluten free request and made eggs bacon and gf toast for me. There were plenty of other items available such as boiled eggs, home baked cinnamon rolls, granola. We picked this place because it was close to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Pros: Jill and Eric are great hosts. Very welcoming and very informative on the house and neighborhood history. Breakfast was fantastic! Deligcious entree, lots of options on the continental side as well. Coffee was terrific. The house is beautiful. The stained glass, antiques and architecture are a delight. You can walk to Museums easily. Delightful cookies, tea, coffee are available at any time. This is always a nice touch, as was the bottled water in the room. Lovely towels, everything you need for a comfortable stay is in place.

Pros: The location is good as we use public transportation, such as buses, and there are several routes nearby (bus stops within easy walking distance) and not long to wait for the bus. We took buses to the museums, mainly. We liked the historic building, built in 1875, with all the architecturual features from then (wood, stained glass, fireplace surround, etc). but definitely appreciated the modernized bathroom with loads of hot water in the shower.

Cons: The bed was a little too hard for my girlfriends liking as well as it was a little high up off the ground for her. I am 6 foot tall and even I had some trouble getting in. Maybe place a small stool in the room and it would have been fine.

Cons: While breakfast is satisfactory, they are into making combinations (waffle with bacon, potato and eggs in it, and the next day, scrambled eggs with onion and gruyere cheese and peppers) so if there's an ingredient you can't eat, there's not an alternative. Although they did have hard boiled eggs at hand that we put on toast. Coffee was very weak and the only way to get a strong cup is to use the instant mix! Or go upstairs to the Keurig maker and use a Keurig cup.

Pros: I liked that I had the option to cancel my booking up until a few days before check in. Although I didn’t need to do that, it felt safe having that option. I was also able to pay directly at the facility. The location of the hotel is quite auspicious, at the heart of University City in Philly and within walking distance of Center City. It also has 2 entrances, one on Sansom street and another on Walnut street which I thought was a very practical when you had to go to different places. Staff are very open to feedback and will try to immediately fix any problem you are experiencing once you report it. I also loved that there’s coffee to go in the morning and a complimentary drink in the lobby every afternoon which you can pick up and go relax in the living room which is one of the coziest places in the hotel. The room was spacious and very pleasant.

The room was spacious and very pleasant.
Cons: On my first night there they gave me the last room available at the far end of the corridor next to the fire escape. It was eerie. The room was also very dusty which had me coughing and itching all night. In addition, the coffee machine was broken. However, when I reported all of that the next day, another room had freed up and I relocated there. It was great and I was satisfied. I did not particularly like the breakfast buffet. It was a long queue at the hot station and the tomatoes in my omelette tasted off. I also didn’t like that you had to ask the waiter to refill your coffee/drinks every time. It would have been easier if I could just walk to a coffee machine and fill my own cup. I generally thought breakfast was overpriced considering the food options being offered. And although there was a coffee machine in my room, the coffee brand used there tasted awful. One of my biggest problems with The Inn at Penn is that they charge you an extra $50 per night for incidentals which is supposed to be refundable within 48-72 hours after checking out. It has been a month since I checked out and I have not been refunded yet!
