It’s one of the last pay by the hour hotels in Philly. Can only imagine all the crazy shit that happened in there over the years

Heroin dealers are technically small businesses too. Do you support them?

Historic is certainly a word you could use to describe that place

I don't live nearby, but this is one of the better things that could happen for the area. I'm surprised it hadnt been sold yet

The Blue Moon in West Philly was probably the craziness leader until it finally got shut down, but the Carlyle was no slouch.

Not all small businesses are worth saving.

In all likelihood, someone passed out with a lit cigarette in hand. You’d be surprised how often that happens at shitty hotels and motels.

I saw it listed for sale on Zillow! I was sorry to see it’s out of my price range at 3.5 million.

Damn, owners bought it for literally 1/1000 of that asking price in 1975.

While waiting for the long red-light to change on Broad st, the so-called hookers coming out of the Carlyle Hotel would proposition you. They were some of the worst looking prostitutes I ever seen.
