| - I stayed at the Pennsylvanian for about a month in one of the Corporate Apartments. This place is old. I believe it used to be a hub for trains and buses.
The outside looks nice but the hallways to the rooms look a little dingy. There was mildew on the floors of my bathroom and bathtub. The washer and dryer was old. There was rust on some of the door hinges. The dresser, fixtures, coffee table, dining table, and dining chairs looked new and modern. The carpet for the most part was clean. The sofa looked old and was not comfortable. The bedsheets had yellow stains on them. I did not use the comforter and one of the layers. The Pennsylvanian has a maid service option with 1 week or 2 week intervals. I am not sure if they even changed or washed my bedsheets because they all had the same yellow stains? wtf?
The views from the apartment is nice, but the windows are hard to see through since the window screens are dirty.
The kitchen is ok. The corporate apartment comes with a fullsized fridge, dishwasher, coffee maker, silverware, platewear, pots and pans. There is also an iron and ironing board. There is also a 22 inch? CRT-TV with about 100 cable channels. I had a router for internet but it was taken away from me 2 weeks into my stay. The Pennsylvanian claimed Comcast took it away without even telling me. They did not offer me a chance to pay for it.
The fitness room was nice. There are treadmills, elliptical machines, pullup bars, and other various machines. There are even a few sets of dumbells. I never used the sauna, so I cannot comment on that.
There is a 24 hour concierge that is always helpful and friendly. There is also an option to sign up for a dry-cleaning service, which is outsourced to another company. You drop your dirty clothes into a room and pick it up a few days later after it has been cleaned. This is rather expensive as well. Everyone who has a dry-cleaning Key has access to this room. Thieves could come in and steal your clothes.
If I had an option, I would not stay at the Pennsylvanian again.
