Easy girl, you have the wrong place there! We made the same mistake. There are two B & B's on Clinton Street. 1024 Clinton Street is lovely and the owner and hostess is just as described in the first review. I stayed there in 2007 and was enchanted, so, I wanted to go back with my husband on our anniversary. By mistake, I booked a room at the other B&B (also called "the columns") on Clinton Street. The reason I made this mistake is because this woman's name is also Kathy! When we arrived, (a little dismayed because I had the wrong address), we were also appalled by our strange, unwelcoming reception! The hostess pointed us up the stairs and said she would find a key later.The attitude was that she didn't have time for us as she was "up to her ears" with some disgruntled customers. Although I had made a reservation mentioning our anniversary, she had put us in a very cramped little room with absolutely no privacy. The miniscule bedroom and adjoining tiny bath both had doors that opened into the main hall. There was an entire family there from out of state that was also very unhappy as they had been put in rooms with unmade up beds and a broken TV . Eventually we made an excuse to leave. We walked up the block to 1024. Unfortunately, the original Kathy did not have any rooms open that night, but she went out of her way to try to help us find a room. Since that time, we have gone back and stayed at 1024 in the beautiful Peach Room, enjoying the comfort, elegance, and privacy, that brings you back to old world Philadelphia. We recommend this wonderful B & B to all our friends, with a warning not to mix it up with the place down the street. Kathy and her charming home at 1024 Clinton are one of Philadelphia's secret treasures! Pros: Generous sized rooms, luxurious bedding, kitchen facilities in room Cons: city parking

Sweet as sugar? More like as sour as vinegar! Kathy, the owner and host, is VERY RUDE! I was appalled when calling to make a reservation--I was actually acausted for calling --heaven forbid--three times in a row when I didn't get an answer. She yelled at me. I told her she wasn't helping herself. If this is how she treats potential guests, I can only imagine how she treats guests once she already has your money in her pocket!
