Remarkable find! Pulled up outside on a very grey rainy day at its location in South Philly near the Stadium, and thought uh-oh, this neighborhood doesn't look that great. So surprised, as I walked into this bright, clean, airy and modern lobby! Staff was wonderful. Coming and going, I felt safe and comfortable at all times.
This area isn't center city, with all its walking glamour, but if you need a car to come and go during your stay, this place is it! For an extra $15 per day, parking, both valet and self park was convenient and available right on site. And as I started to explore, South Philly had a charm all of its own.
The rooms are clean, modern and came with a fridge. I would have liked a microwave, but that was not available. We choose HIPA-SA because my husband would be having surgery at Hosp of Univ Penn. Located just off Rt 76, all I needed to do was hop on Rt 76, and within a couple exits, I was there, or nearly anywhere else in Philly I wanted to be.
I would've given it a five star, except for one caveat. Being near the stadium, can be a plus or minus. The first night we stayed, there was a concert nearby. No fault to this hotel, because I did not ask in advance for a quiet room, but that night the concert goers partied, noisily, into the night. So, I would say check the event schedules. You may find an event that you want to be part of? But if you need serious quiet or sleep, make sure they can accommodate ahead of time.
