The Notary Hotel, Autograph Collection

Ken Wong

June 2022: Stayed here for three nights during the week. Overall, thought the hotel was okay. My biggest disappointment was the comfort level of the bed. The mattress seemed a bit worn out and the foam pillowtop on top of the mattress wasn't comfortable. I think the thinness of the fitted sheet made the bed lack that luxury feeling that I was expecting. That was my biggest issue with the stay. After the first night, I slept on the other side of the bed which was slightly better. But I still didn't get a restful night's sleep. I'd rate the bed a 4 out of 10. ☹️ Another negative was the windows didn't muffle the sound outside. So at 2-3am, I could hear cars and motorcycles zooming around outside. Surprised since I was on the 12th floor. Another slight disappointment was the hotel didn't have room service. So on my first night, I checked in at 956pm and the restaurant was closing in four minutes. So my dinner was beef jerky and trail mix from the hotel gift shop. ☹️ Everything else was good to okay. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was pretty good. Room was good size. Would I stay here again? Not sure. I expected more from an autograph collection hotel.

Rooms are great. Staff is friendly. Brook at reception was very welcome. Hope the mgmt is reading this, they trained their people well. A good visit for a fair price. Right at city hall square. It was a nice nod to the hotels history that your room card is stamped with the logo. Clever. Photos from the executive queen suite.

The Notary is a wonderful boutique hotel nestled in downtown Philly with a memorable history. The lobby area is welcoming and eclectic with the stack of book spines that forms a painting . There's even an old fashioned stamp near the tourist brochures and maps. The reception is welcoming and efficient in getting us to our room, which was pretty roomy and clean. There isn't anything lacking in the room and the bathroom, and we loved the comfy down pillows that nestled us into dream land. The downstairs bar is great for late night drinks and we loved how close it was to Reading Terminal Market. The hotel is across the street from City Hall and location is safe and convenient.

Love this place. Exquisitely designed and a great lobby area. Hotel staff is incredibly helpful and efficient. I felt I stepped back in time to when the guests were king/queen. Beds were comfortable. Wish I had more time to explore the hotel. Next time!
