The staff were incredible, the location was great and the concept of the hotel was amazing. We loved the cafe just steps away from our room. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the shower.

During the day, The Annex area is quirky and interesting with tonnes of very good graffiti art. But, there was no place close or open for breakfast and I’m not sure I’d want to stray too far from the hotel after dark. But there are tonnes of restaurants nearby for dinners.

Love the Annex Hotel. They need to do a deep cleaning of the bathroom/shower tiling. It would also be amazing if there could be designated parking spots in the Lippencot Green P for hotel guests.
