The room was great! Everything was clean and there are lots of neat amenities like a nightlight in the bathroom and a magnifier mirror by the bathroom sink. Staff were great and we were given complimentary access to the guest lounge on the 20th floor, which provided soft drinks in the evening and a hot breakfast in the morning.

We stayed in a king suite for several days while a relative was at CHOP. We were the first occupants to use the newly renovated rooms. Excellent breakfast on the 20th floor. The king bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the large living room only had one standing lamp so the room was poorly lit and unfit for reading. Also, the single uncomfortable chair should be replaced by two chairs to accommodate watching TV. I switched to parking at CHOP since the 24 hr rate was less than 10% of the hotel rate ($50+). Excellent staff; room architect/designer not so much.
