I stayed at this hotel while attending a convention at the Philadelphia Convention Centre. I have the same opinion as most of the other reviewers who posted here, i.e. the hotel is in a good location and the rooms are nice, but the "common areas" of the hotel are a little tired and in need of a refurb. I didn't... more

The hotel is in a good location, and the room was well laid out with HD flat screen (great for Olympics viewing!). Piity they don;t have refrigerators in the room - many US hotels seem now to catch-up with the rest of the world on this one! Lobby and coffe shop areas are 'tired'. Staff generally ok but not exceptionally... more

Our compliments to whomever hires the staff! Everyone of them that we encountered (from the bus boy to valet parking, check-in, etc.) could not be more efficient, helpful, pleasant and articulate. It has been a while since we experienced total customer service. We stayed in Rm. 2076 which I recommend as a quiet, very clean and updated room. We were... more

First off I'd like to inform people staying here, you have to pay for parking, $34.00 a night. They do not tell you that when you book the room. We were part of a wedding party so we paid $160 a night, but when you add on that parking fee, it's not a good price for what we got. The... more

Overall, I really liked this hotel. the staff were friendly and knowledge. The workout facility was decently equipped with stairsteppers, treadmills and even some weight machines. The dumbell free weights were lacking but I was still surprised they had any at all. The club floor rooms were nice. The shower drained well and had good water pressure. The beds and... more

The convinience and beauty of the location of this hotel cannot be overstated and the value is exceptional. The crowning event of our first visit to Philadelphia was finding this hotel, more out of necessity (other more expensive hotels nearby Independence Mall were booked) than any other reason. Walking on a Saturday evening around Society Hill and finding our way... more

This hotel has a great location in old town Philadelphia, within walking distance of many of the great sights. Staff is very friendly. We paid rather top dollar for this type of hotel ($279) as there were a lot of conventions and groups in town. This hotel is an embassy suites style hotel with an atrium and rooms opening to... more

What a great find in the heart of Philadelphia. We were traveling to Philadelphia for a Pearl Jam concert at the outdoor venue in Camden. We couldn't have pick a better location. The ferry which runs right to the venue is 2 blocks from the hotel. In addition we were traveling with our 12 year old Yellow Lab, two young... more

I booked my reservation a week beforehand for the 4th of July week. Found one on Priceline.com for $149/night. I decided to go with this hotel based on all the great review from this site! I am so glad I did not stay anywhere else- the location was fabulous! It was in a nice, safe, historical part of town. I... more
