The only thing I was slightly bummed about was the bar closing before 10pm. Although it was the Eagles playoff game so I understand that aspect, but I love the bar and was looking forward to a night cap. Otherwise it was a very nice quiet stay, I felt very safe even being close off of the first floor. Staff was lovely and it was very clean and accommodating.
