Great place to stay to explore Philly. The facilities are all you need when away from home and on a budget. There are enough showers to go round. Would really recommend.

Imagine WeWork with beds. That's what this place is like. All of the people were sane and civilized. Staff are very professional. Only thing I didn't like is they make you stick a copy of your receipt to your bed post. This informs total strangers of your name, how much you paid and how long you're staying. This has no consideration for privacy. Your name is your identity. What if I was an influencer or a business owner who deals with lots of cash. They need to have more respect for privacy.
