ROOST East Market

This is the third year in a row I have stayed at ROOST East Market during an annual business trip to Philadelphia. If I return next year, I will stay here again. The location is excellent, within walking distance to everything I needed. The front desk staff were unfailingly helpful, cheerful, and professional.||I stayed in a one-bedroom unit. This is so vastly preferable to a standard hotel room, with its added space, a separate sitting area, kitchen, laundry facilities, etc. My only slight criticism is that there wasn't really a proper work surface in my unit. I ended up setting up my laptop at the kitchen counter. This worked fine--it's certainly not a reason to stay at a different place--but a desk or work table of some kind would have been nice. ||A note about parking. ROOST itself does not provide parking. There is a city lot located conveniently under the block, but it is very expensive. The charge is based on the number of hours and peaks at $49/day, but if you are staying for a few days, this can get pricey. I have used the parking each time I have stayed here, but the cost is something to be aware of. For dropping off and loading suitcases, the valets at the building across the street have always been very nice about letting me stop in front of the building for a few minutes with no hassle at all.||Overall, ROOST East Market is an excellent choice if work or play brings you to downtown Philadelphia. It's my go-to accommodation, and I don't expect that will change.

Very comfortable and well-equipped apartments in a shared building with residents. Great facilities (gym, pool, common social areas), friendly and efficient staff, well-maintained building and in a good location with plenty of local shops and restaurants. A bit of traffic noise during the day but very quiet at night. Other guests and residents are polite and friendly.

I was looking forward for my visit. The apartment (406) was completely different than the pictures. Chair and sofa had stains, same the carpet. I avoided sitting on the sofa and had to wear shoes. The den that is charged extra, was a windowless room with an old washing machine in the closet. Very sad place to do any work. The lighting was few floor lamps and I couldn’t really see much. Kitchen had nothing, no napkins, no some packs of sugar, only some beans of coffee. It’s advertised that has a separate dinning area, that was also false. I had some water spilled on the floor, of course I had no mop or something to clean, I took some paper towel and you can see the picture how clean the floor was. Absolutely disgusting. The walls had some nails here and there, no decoration, the advertisement was so proud of their decoration. The apartment is a run down place. ||||I decided to write this because I read a review before I go and felt that the guy was probably too demanding and in their response they were so offended and denied such claims. Unfortunately he was right. I’m also posting pictures, you can’t make this up.||||I feel completely cheated for $300+ a night, especially when they show pictures misrepresenting the stay. I’m extremely sad that there are still companies like this, dishonest, unethical people who use this kind of business tactics. ||||Now, some great things were the location, the people in the concierge and the residents. Not worth the visit. Look the pictures and compare the listing, simple.

We stayed in the East Roost Market for a long term stay (7 weeks) and got to know the place well. Simply put: it's fabulous. The room itself (2 bedroom, corner) was simply amazing with stunning views of City Hall, and containing all the amenities we could want. The pool was the highlight, however, as I had my 10 year old son with me. We were in that pool nearly every day splashing and playing. Finally, the staff were fantastic and I considered some of them friends by the time we left. Just a wonderful experience.

Location is excellent. Pool was great. Kitchen equipment was perfect for cooking. Beds were comfortable. Showers worked worked well. ||||The sitting furniture is uncomfortable. The desk is connected to the TV stand in the living room. If someone wants to cook, socialize or just relax in the living room, you lack a workspace. This is particularly problematic for Zoom calls. The chairs are so uncomfortable that I was sore after just two hours of Zoom calls.||||A desk in the master bedroom with a cushioned chair would fix this.

If I could give Roost East Market more than five stars, I would. The entire experience was seamless. The apartment and building were so modern, comfortable and clean. The third floor is basically an extension of the apartment and includes common spaces, a kitchen, pool table, fitness center and outdoor pool. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We were able to store our bikes and they were kind enough to give us a late check out. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would love to stay here again next time we are in Philly.

Gem of a hotel in Center City! Front desk was great, easy, quick check-in and responsive to any needs we had. Apartment was bright and spacious with modern decor. We made lots of use of the amenity floor with the pool and rec center. Would definitely come back if I stayed in Philly again!

Great place to stay. Conveniently located with all the amenities you need to make your stay comfortable and easy. The garage is located under the building for easy access to the hotel. The pool is large and provides a great workout. The kitchen made it possible for us to enjoy our meals in our room.

Jason was the absolute best! As is all of the staff were very friendly. Helped me with early/late check ins/outs. This was my second stay with The Roost, first time at this location. Couldn't of asked for a better experience. Love you guys! Stevie

This hotel is notably the best stay in the area ! Worth every dollar to book here : great service . Located close by to everything ! The service and amenities are excellent here at roost. You ll know as soon as you walk in

I was impressed by the beautiful building and amenities that were available to us, and staff are very attentive and friendly! However, I couldn't help but notice upon my arrival that some of the furniture in my apartment had *layers* of dust. I was so disappointed. The apartments are beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Even the random books they had were interesting. They also kept an all purpose cleaning spray for cleaning and that's what I used to clean. Additionally, there's a panel in the bedroom where the AC/heat comes from and unfortunately I decided to open it to see what the filter looked like and it was a dark gray from the center. My comforter insert had a little blood stain on it. It was a nightmare. I couldn't sleep the next night and couldn't wait to check out. I had a very busy stay and was only there for two nights, so I regretted my decision to stay at this place rather than a hotel. I hope that the building takes my review into consideration and ups their cleaning game as it was rather concerning to me especially during these times! That being said, beautiful furniture, design, architecture etc. and the coffee they provided was La Colombe, which helped make the experience a little more pleasant!

Great alternative to hotels I stayed at the ROOST East Market while in Philadelphia for a conference at the Convention Center. It is a short 3 minute walk. These are "apartments" rather than just hotel rooms. It is a suite that is basically a one-bedroom apartment. There is a separate living room, a full kitchen, dishwasher, and in-room washer and dryer. There is so much more room and storage than a hotel room. They have very nice extras. There is a common recreation area on the third floor. I went down there to do my computer work. There is a pool table, a theater, gym, pool, barbecue, etc. It has a community feel and people are very friendly. There is a market a 2 minute walk away called Mom's - think local Whole Foods. I bought groceries and cooked most of my meals for my stay. Three days worth of groceries cost less than my one night out at a restaurant on the expense account. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the immediate neighborhood including the Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant, the Hard Rock Cafe, and more. There is a CVS Pharmacy around the corner from the market. The only negative thing I can say is that it is on a brand new street and there are no street signs so it can be hard for your taxi or Uber driver to find it, but once you get here it is smooth sailing. I've gotten spoiled and will always start looking for "apartments" for future business travels - and will probably most often be disappointed that I can't get them. I'm definitely staying here when back in town for the next conference.

We had a great stay at Roost East Market. We were surprise upgraded to a two-bedroom apartment. The apartments are nicely decorated and very comfortable. The location is generally convenient to most of the popular attractions. The pool is very nice (large lap pool) but does get a bit crowded (including with people who set out towels to reserve lounge chairs at 5am). Common areas and amenities were also very nice. Our dogs were happily welcomed and the front desk staff were very friendly. We would happily stay here again.

Visited a friend who was in town for the weekend. The room was gorgeous, the location was wonderful and the building was beautiful! And my friends were very happy with their stay!

I wish I could give five stars. The hotel room is more like an apartment with bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and office with full washer/dryer. The views are nice from the full ceiling to floor windows. It's in a great location to walk around the city. The third floor has lots of amenities great for those staying just couple nights or the longterm renters on the upper floors. There's an outdoor pool, demo kitchen, two lounge areas, pool table, dog area, and multiple grill/patio areas. The only reason I can't give five stars is the inability to get to sleep or stay asleep due to partying at the pool after closing hours. Our room was directly above the pool and a family was playing loud music for couple hours Fri night and I had to call the front desk multiple times about it. In their defense they may have at first misunderstood us as being pool music system and not the individual's. However, we were awaken at 4 am to loud music again and upon peering out the window literally saw couple naked in the pool doing their thing. I called front desk and shortly after the couple was gone. So unless they stop late night partying at pool I can't see us returning which is such a shame given how nice it is.

This place.was great, I stayed there Aug 2019 for a conference across the street at Loews. I am so glad I stayed here instead of Loews, this hotel is a lot more affordable and the rooms are actually apartments! Amazing amenities and great location, everything is in walking distance. I will definitely stay there again!!!

Absolutely the nicest staff I've met in a hotel. Beautiful rooms. Great amenities. The pool is my favorite of recent hotel stays.

What a fantastic and stylish new place to stay in Center City! Not only is it perfectly located with great restaurants all around (and two short blocks to the phenomenal Reading Terminal Market!), but the accommodations are spacious, beautifully decorated and quite comfortable. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped; the bathroom was very spacious; and the massive double-door closet with drawer space inside was really impressive. The amenities floor has a fabulous outdoor pool and deck for the summer months, along with a large gym and beautiful common spaces. The front desk folks were extremely helpful, as were the managers I spoke with.We will DEFINITELY stay here on our next trips to Philadelphia. What a find!
