ROOST East Market

Center City

10/10 Excellent

If I could give Roost East Market more than five stars, I would. The entire experience was seamless. The apartment and building were so comfortable. The third floor is basically an extension of the apartment and includes common spaces, a kitchen, pool table, fitness center and outdoor pool. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We were able to store our bikes and they were kind enough to give us a late check out. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would love to stay here again next time we are...

Perfect location in Old Town. Right across the street from new Museum of the American Revolution, and walking distance to many locations including Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin museum and Betsy Ross house. Great neighborhood with tons of shops, restaurants and bars, including 30 art galleries. Hotel staff super friendly and helpful. I've seen some complaints about distance to the parking garage, but it was only 1.5 blocks. We found it very convenient. Breakfast was great. Waffles,...

This stay was Awesome. We came in for a Family Funeral but left smiling. The staff (especially Dominque) was attentive, knowledgeable, empathetic and a breath of fresh air. The breakfast was tasty. I will say the containers used to keep the coffee and hot water needs to be replaced, (was not that hot). The bed was a little too soft for my taste. The room was amazing, the amenities were useful. I loved the visual atmosphere and to not actually hear the trains while I was resting. The courtyard...
