My stay at The Philadelphia Hotel Bella Vista was quite interesting. The location was fantastic, nestled in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to major attractions.

The self-serve breakfast left much to be desired. While there were options, like bagels and muffins in zip-lock bags, a more diverse selection could really enhance the experience. I did love having a refrigerator to store my own breakfast items from nearby shops.

I had a decent stay at The Philadelphia Hotel Bella Vista, but there were some definite ups and downs. The quirky room decor added character, and the bed was super comfy, but the overall cleanliness and maintenance definitely left something to be desired. I loved the location, which made it easy to explore the city, but the lack of a traditional breakfast experience was a bit of a letdown.

The room I stayed in was quirky and spacious, but I noticed peeling wallpaper, chipped fixtures, and some really creaky floors. It had a mini-fridge and other useful amenities, though.

Service

I never really interacted with the owners face-to-face, which felt a little impersonal. The self-check-in process was smooth, thanks to clear instructions sent via email, but it was different not having staff around.

Location

The hotel's location was a highlight for me, as it was close to attractions like the 9th St. market and other local gems. The area felt safe and quiet, which I appreciated.

Dining

The self-serve breakfast was pretty basic with a few pastries and drinks. It didn’t quite give me the warm, homey breakfast feeling I usually enjoy at a B&B, but it was convenient to grab something quick.

Facilities

The older buildings have a unique charm, but the lack of an elevator and some dated amenities made navigating the hotel a bit of a challenge at times. The wifi worked well, which was a plus.
