Aloft Philadelphia Downtown
The room was decent. The air would kick on and freeze you out of the room and kick off and you’d sweat to death. No in between! The walls were thin! I woke up to my neighbors doing their “business” at 3:30 this morning. It was like I was sitting on their bed. Very disturbing!!
