I traveled solo as elder woman & the neighborhood is lower income & rather run down, but much more quiet than expected. Once inside two separately locked doors, the environment changed dramatically. Even had music playing one day. I was uncertain of the area, but onsite manager was kind, respectful, & helped when I was short of various supplies. Communication with the suites itself was sporadic and slow. I DID appreciate window air conditioning! Temp got to 110 while I was there!

Dès notre arrivée, la climatisation n’a jamais fonctionné. Nous avons communiqué avec le propriétaire,mais il a complètement ignoré nos messages pendant nos trois nuitées. Il n’y avait pas de draps sur le canapé, très désuet et inconfortable, alors qu’il était indiqué qu’il s’agissait d’une place (canapé) pour une personne. Lorsque nous étions assis sur le canapé et nous voulions étendre nos jambes pour \"dormir\", le coussin touchait au sol, sans aucun support pour les jambes. Bref, le canapé n'était pas droit. Mon conjoint s’est couché sans drap ni oreiller. Aucune façon de communiquer. Bref, nous avons eu très chaud et avons été incapables de dormir. Nous avons été obligés d'ouvrir la fenêtre qui donnait accès au trottoir, où les gens passaient presqu'au niveau de notre logement. Il y avait beaucoup de bruits à l'extérieur et le quartier semblait \"louche\". Le voisin au dessus faisait énormément de bruit durant la nuit. J’avais pourtant demandé une chambre à un étage supérieur. J’étais prête à annuler et à aller dormir dans un endroit plus confortable. Nous avions choisi cet endroit pour la climatisation et pour les supposés deux places pour dormir. De plus, nous avons payé un supplément/ une charge pour un adulte supplémentaire. Le quartier était dangereux. Il n’y avait ni table ni chaise. Pour manger, nous devions nous asseoir sur nos bagages. Nous étions loin du Centre-Ville, complétement au Nord. Nous sommes très déçus de cet endroit et je ne le recommande à personne.

There's no staff, but you get plenty of information prior to your stay. Shower is tiny, but stocked with soaps in case needed (bring your own). Overall quiet and pleasant stay. I recommend for a week or more since kitchenette and mini fridge are included.

An ideal spot for single, twenty to middle aged traveler not interested in exterior aesthetics and traveling on a budget. It's an out of the way location in the heart of north Philly but blends in so well with the neighborhood, you'd never believe the quality of it's interior and security. Parking is typical inner city. Set your vanity aside and enjoy it with an open mind.

Please note this property is in the project area and would not recommend for a solo female traveller.
Once you ignore the surrounding and actually get into the property, it feels safe with all the locks and very clean.

As a traveller l would expect washing up liquid for the dishes and paper / dish towels to clean your crockery and pots.

There was facilities for body wash, shampoo and conditioner however the body wash was empty. I will suggest regular checks be done by whoever is servicing the rooms.

A small bin in the shower room would good as l felt uncomfortable using the kitchenette bin for hygienic items.

The sheets were ok however they were not ironed which made it look shabby which is a shame.

The use of white linen is a great idea but will suggest the duvet be white as well as the dark one inside the white cover made the covers look unclean which they were not.

There was a fan and l think what looks like a heater on the ceiling but just couldn't get the ceiling one to work.
The fan was fine.
Towels wear new, shower room was very clean.

I would recommend a bedside table to make life easy .

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Goodseed Suites. I arrived at 11:00PM after traveling many hours in 100+ degree heat While my arrival was later in the evening, the room should still have been comfortable and ready for occupancy.

Unfortunately, when I entered the room, it was unbearably hot—comparable to the outdoor temperature earlier that day. I adjusted the air conditioning and waited an hour for the room to cool down. Though I could occasionally feel what seemed like slightly cooler air from the unit, the room temperature remained unchanged.

The room itself was quite small (which I expected based on the listing), making the lack of cooling surprising. A space of that size should not have taken that long to reach a comfortable temperature if the air conditioning were functioning properly.

After waiting an hour in the heat, it became clear that I would not be able to sleep comfortably. Because I had important commitments the following day and needed a good night's rest, I was forced to book a room at another hotel late at night, creating significant inconvenience and additional expense.

Afterward, I contacted the property to request a partial refund due to the uninhabitable conditions, but my request was denied.

A hotel room's most basic function is to provide a safe and comfortable place to sleep. This room failed to meet that standard, and the property's unwillingness to acknowledge the issue or offer any accommodation left me very disappointed.

Cockroach infested apartment I had a booking for 5 days but I left after 13 hours because the building had very poor ac system-my body was overheating in the Philadelphia heat. Poor condition, very dangerous neighborhood you cannot walk here after sunset or even during the day. Huge mistake… I’m currently disputing charges to get my money back. The host wasn’t responsive at all after showing him proof of cockroaches in building. They ask for a deposit outside of the hotel.com app also which goes against the rules for hotels.com. I had to fight for that deposit back. The pictures are taken at angles to make the rooms look bigger but they are only sufficient for 1 person barely. Very very poor experience.

Unfortunately, I paid for a hotel here and was left stranded without a code to get into the property. My booking was canceled without written confirmation or heads up until I was physically at the property and had to call a number because there was no front desk staff. I was unable to be refunded or placed in a different hotel. The hurdles and stress to try to remedy this breakdown of communication between the main website and hotel was a souring experience, and I would not recommend. I contacted the third-party hotel several times to understand why their correspondence of canceling my hotel was never notified on the website portal where they posted the listing was never sent at any point. Ultimately, I was still not refunded and the booking was not ever formally \"canceled\" on the main website. The third-party hotel said that they do not receive messages sent back to them on the hotels.com website, which was confusing because they were still sending me correspondence on the platform about incidental fees, parking options, and check out. I also was messaged to send funds to a CashApp account, which did not seem appropriate for a hotel booking. Beware of booking with this place.

Please read this entire review (as I wish I had known this before booking); I had understood from other reviews that this apartment would be basic and small, so I brought essentials. It was generally clean, but smelled of old cigarette smoke like a dated motel room and the air conditioning was not working (no remote to be found even though this was the response we got from management.) This made the stay unpleasant, but what was most concerning was the neighborhood. I did not feel safe walking around this neighborhood, particularly at night. What I saved on accommodation, I spent on Ubers because walking to a bus stop passed by vacant lots, abandoned buildings and people shouting at each other. Two of my uber drivers cautioned me to “be safe out there.” I would not recommend staying here. Communication with management was inconsistent, I got answers for some things, and not for others. Even the things I got responses on, it wasn’t overly helpful or accurate

“The hotel itself was actually very nice and surprisingly modern. The inside was clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy, welcoming feel. My room was definitely on the smaller side, but it was super cute, very clean, and thoughtfully designed to make good use of the space. The room also came with a mini fridge, electric stovetop, microwave, cookware, and dinnerware, which made it convenient for preparing simple meals during my stay.
The check-in process was completely contactless, which was smooth and easy. There were keyless room entries and remote customer service assistance available if needed, which added a modern touch to the experience.
One thing to keep in mind is that there’s no private parking available, so guests have to rely on street parking along a fairly narrow street, which can be a little inconvenient depending on the time of day.
The other downside was the surrounding area. While the hotel itself felt safe and comfortable inside, it’s located in a noticeably impoverished neighborhood with several vacant properties nearby. That may be something to consider depending on your comfort level and travel needs. Overall though, the actual hotel experience exceeded my expectations.”

The pre-arrival communication was so terrible that I never got into the room.

I never received any link to register in advance of my stay. I got multiple emails on the hotels.com platform to the effect that the policies for receiving a refund on the mandatory $200 security deposit were very strict. But the only pathway they offered to pay the deposit was Cash App, which I don't use. The emails explaining the Cash App payment were confusing and filled with writing errors. Before I arrived, I never received any contact information on how to communicate with anyone at the property directly.

I arrived at the property within the window I said I would be there, but hadn't received any access codes or any way to contact the property managers directly. So I made other arrangements. After I made sure I actually had a place to stay and asked for a refund, I finally received the access codes. But by then it was too late. And I haven't received any response to - or any acknowledgement of - my request for a refund.

I was up for something different, but this was just a disaster.

I did not complete check-in or stay at this property due to concerns that arose before arrival.

After my booking was confirmed, the property sent multiple additional rules and restrictions, including references to forfeiture of an incidental/security fee. The property also required a $200 refundable security deposit through Venmo, outside the Hotels.com payment system. This was especially concerning because Hotels.com’s own reservation emails warn guests not to make electronic payments outside the platform.

Before check-in, I also found recent public reviews describing similar concerns involving misrepresentation and difficulty recovering deposits. Because of the post-booking requirements, off-platform payment process, and lack of confidence in the deposit/refund process, I did not feel comfortable staying at the property.

This was not a normal cancellation or a disagreement over the listed price. It was a trust and payment-integrity issue before check-in.

Ignore the photos, the actual room was awful. It has a loft with a tiny mattress (my feet hung off) and upon closer inspection it didn't look structurally sound at all. The 2nd bed was a fold-out chair that was broken. There was a heater, so the top bunk was super hot while my friend froze in the bottom.
Roaches are inevitable in hotels but I typically don't get the chance to observe competition between multiple species- from an entomology perspective, this was the best part of the stay.
Oh and there was violence outside out window all night so probably not the best area.

Room is small but efficiently put together and had modern rennovations. Had everything I needed including AC (window unit). Support was available whenever I called. I was initially worried by cashapp/apple cash warnings telling me not to send my deposit because it was a potential scam, but just received my deposit back in full. Therefore I can recommend this place if you’re looking for an affordable option.

So how cheap are you or need to be currently?

Had to wait around trying to enter because instructions (passcodes) to enter the building wasn’t set in advance and the person rudely answering phone “check your email” (wasnt there. Had to call back). (The outside door lock is LOUD and basically advertising “not from here” to anyone on that street. (And this is a rougherrrrr a looking street). The pillow case was FILTHY and look ran over (bed dirty too but lesser). AC in the window (in october) but not installed correctly so cold air AND BUGS can enter underneath. There were 2. A roach on the entryway wall. A roach in the bathroom above toilet under window. Bathroom has no soap and the same generic liquid as shampoo and as conditioner. (No dish soap either). Bathroom window lock broken and slides open. Bed has a metal frame that creaks (not sure if “headboard” is loose enough or what but noisy). Not as noisy as outside all night long though. Not sure if people hangout on their stoop across the street or what but outside talking and hollering hntil about 02:00. Also plenty of sirens to be heard and a passing train (amtrak?) blowing its horn. Bed is on the stiffer side if that’s your thing.
Not sure if this is a starter investor or something but this place is cheap and makes you feel every bit of it. If you’re priced out for a night in the area then take this but be advised and self prepared. This is not “a deal” this is a “what it’s come to” so book your Philly stay accordingly.

The photos of this \"unique boutique suite\" are not accurate. The \"suite\" we rented was about as small as a closet. The lower twin \"bed\" was a folding chair that turns into a \"bed\" and it was broken. There were no fitted/top sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers, etc. There were two thin and small pillows for the lofted twin bed. We called management. The manager answered, his child was crying, he immediately let me know the bed was not broken (I have video but am unable to load to this review). He said he had to let me go because he was talking with another guest. He said he would call back but never did. It was 9:30pm and my daughter and I were exhausted. We had to leave. The Goodseed Suites is no longer communicating with me. Do NOT stay here!

I have stayed in many places before but not one that had no soap, no shampoo, no hot water, less than 1/8 of a roll of toilet paper, and a couple of paper towels. If you just need a clean safe bed that is all you are gonna get. Ubered to and from with driver to wait until I got in the door before leaving. I did let the property know that at minimum I needed a roll of toilet paper but none was delivered. As always you get what you pay for and I was ok with that. I also am a superhost and know how inexpensive a box of 200 mini soaps is. Not having soap or hot water to shower in is just plain disgraceful. Been there, done that. Will spend more and stay in central city next time.

I had a fantastic stay here! I will definitely come again. The room itself was impeccably clean and comfortable. I felt safe in this very secure building and it had nearly everything I might need - kitchenette, with Keurig, mini fridge and toaster, a Smart tv with streaming service, large comfy bed, ac, sturdy blinds, quiet building. I would have given 5 stars all around but there was a slight problem at check in where they accidentally assigned me a room someone else was already staying in which was awkward. But I will say they resolved it immediately and professionally even though it was after 11pm at night. I was in my correct room within 10 minutes. The only other issue was the room was lacking some cleaning supplies - no dish soap, no paper towels or sani wipes to wipe up spills, no hand soap and only 1 roll of already partially depleted toilet paper. I’m guessing because they had to reassign rooms last minute maybe they didn’t have time to ensure the room was stocked. I will just make sure to bring my own next time just in case. All in all - a wonderful stay. Easy to get in and out and although the neighborhood looks a bit sketchy I felt safe and it was a very convenient and easy 15 minute walk to Temple University to see my daughter for family weekend.

As a poor student and solo traveler, I have stayed in SROs, hostels, and flophouses before. This was like them except it called itself a \"suite\" and charged as if it wasn't an inconvenient, service-starved excuse for a hotel in an inconvenient and scary area. I wish I could get a full refund.

I'm a solo traveler. I've stayed in tons of places, but this was by far, the worst place I've spent money on. If I could give it a zero, I would. The sheets were dirty, the bathroom was dirty, and the clear, plastic shower curtain was broken off half the rings.
Think unclean dormroom with a manual air conditioning unit in the window and broken side panels. The pictures added don't look like the unit rented, and there is no one on site to assist with entry or issues. I had to call the 1-800 number for the listing 3 times and wait for follow-up text messages to finally get into the unit and then just decided to cancel half my trip because it wasn't worth the stay.

I really wanted to have that big city experience and rent a small unit and this place really gives you that almost New York City vibe.

I thought it was very well decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. It could’ve used a bigger TV and maybe some basic amenities like coffee with the coffee pot or more than one or two towels.

However, those are just very small things. I thought the building is very secure with multiple codes to get into each door and is very clean and actually a very quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again however I would request that they have coffee to go along with the coffee pot.

Also to be fair, the host did text me and I did ask for towels and they gave me a code to a storage closet to get extra towels. I just was not able to get into the storage closet. I couldn’t get the code to work but they were very friendly and they were trying to be helpful, but I just couldn’t get into the storage closet to get extra towels so they did communicate very well and all of those things were very good.

I was beyond shocked with the neighborhood setting. It was filthy, garbage everywhere. Despite the heavy police presence, we felt anything but safe. Upon entering the building, the cat urine odor was vile! Our room, though it appeared to be clean and cozy, came with additional guests - carpet beetles and cockroaches. We spoke with “house keeping” the following morning, at that time we were not in need of additional services. We never saw her again.. no clean towels nor toilet paper (had to get our own) for duration five days. All of the doors are locked and coded for “safety” purposes, yet the crew working on the abandoned building next door, ran their extension cord inside the front door leaving it open and unlocked for hours! The second entry door.. the keypad battery died, locking us OUT of the building for a short period, as we could not enter a code to get to our room. Had there not been thousands of other people in town for a concert event, we would have definitely attempted to find accommodations elsewhere. Save yourself the hassle and don’t be fooled by their great angle marketing! I would never stay here or any of their places again.

This property is very clean and modern. It is a bare bones stay though. The nearby bodegas can provide some food and supplies if needed, but a proper grocery store, bar, or restaurant is several blocks walk toward the university. The neighborhood around is a mix of rough looking row houses and newer looking duplexes, with student housing also nearby, but some places are definitely safer than others so walking around at night is not recommended.

The subway and regional rail are both easy to access if you're willing to walk to the stations. The cheese steak and hoagie restaurant nearby is excellent. Overall it is quiet at night and the room was good for the budget and location.

The ONE time I didn’t read reviews before booking and I got burned!
After you book thru Expedia you need to CashApp some guy a deposit for incidentals.
CashApp WARNS you that people have complained it’s a scam.
The area around the property was very “economically depressed.”
Absolutely no way I would want to walk from car to unit after dark. In fact I was worried for my car!
Of course property and Expedia refused to refund even tho I expressed concerns for my safety.
I hope you are reading this and the other reviews before booking this property.
I personally hold Expedia responsible for allowing this property to even be listed!
That is why I am leaving Expedia.

Checking In Was A Headache

It was a rough experience trying to check in, let along just enter the building. I was scheduled to come in on Thursday the 3rd, but because my train was drastically delayed I didn't get in until Friday the 4th. So when I finally arrived I couldn't get beyond the first two doors to enter the building because the person running the place never sent me the codes. Finally I enter, only to have no room info to go to. I eventually get in touch with the owner and he shows me to my room. However it is not the room I booked (The picture with the view on this page is more accurate of what I thought I would be getting). What I received was something akin to a Scandinavian prison cell. Say nothing of the fact that I was in a rush to go to that nights Dodgers-Phillies game which was to start at 6:45 p.m while I had just gotten in there at 4:00 p.m and my head was still spinning from the days long Amtrak rides I was on, while also still being stressed and rushed to check into my room that I didn't even book. The next day I eventually got an upgraded room. I still wasn't the one pictured on this page, but it was better than what I was initially given. All in all it was a very hectic stay. Mostly it is the fault of climate change for delaying my train rides for as long as it did, but the check in process at this place didn't help the case either.
