Basing my rating and review on who I would rate hotels in a similar class. This hotel is an airport hotel frequented by travelers who need a quick in an out or a small conference group. There are several other hotels in this area adjacent to the airport and I would advise to check on several of them before choosing. With this hotel, call them directly and find out where they are in the construction.
I was here for business. I knew construction was ongoing and told them I wanted to be as removed as possible. They fulfilled all my requests, so I have no complaint.
Check in was easy and friendly. Room was as billed (they are all suites -- this is one thing I have always liked about this brand). AC wasn't working great, but as soon as I called it was fixed within the hour.
Everything else was clean and comfortable in the room. Outside the room will be a different story with the construction going on. It is a major renovation. Given that there are construction workers everywhere trying their best not to disturb the guests, it gets messy and a little noisy. (I was both impressed and dismayed when trying to take a quick nap that they didn't knock off until about 6:30 pm).
Forget the pool and fitness room. The pool is pretty much a really, really bug hot tub. The fitness room is an alcove adjacent to the pool. It was so hot in there, I just went and ran outside. Did I mention that this was during the recent heat wave in the East.
Bring your GPS. Places to eat are scarce. Stay away from that Ruby Tuesdays. It's disgusting. I walked out and I can count on one hand the number of times I've done that.
Bottom line: Staff is nice and hotel is doing their best during what is a need renovation. Not sure how else they could do this upgrade short of closing down. It's really not that bad as airport hotels go and will probably be more than fine when they are done with the work.

After reading the recent reviews here, I was quite reluctant about this hotel. Having won a trip to Philadelphia, I had no voice in choosing the hotel where we were to stay. After reading prior reviews I was a stress case to say the least. Fortunately everything worked out much better than I hoped. The property is in fair to excellent condition, depending on how new your room is. Ours was really new! The renovations are almost done and there was very little noise. We weren't disturbed in the slightest and in fact slept in past 8:30. Darn those wonderful curtains that block all sunlight! All the employees we encountered were very friendly, especially a manager after mentioning I was concerned after reading the reviews here on tripadvisor. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets all around. I really like those down blankets/synthetic blankets with the covers instead of the old tacky coverlets that are at some hotels. Overall, the room was great but I have to give the hotel a negative review on breakfast.
Not good. I guess if you understand that it's basically free and you really only enjoy omelets or cold cereal then this is the place for you. I do not eat eggs so had to sort through the plentiful other options that were all about equally gross. Maybe I have a little higher standard of expectation coming from California where we seem to be a bit spoiled in that way? I don't know but other people seemed perfectly happy with the really oily hash browns, stale muffins, and sausage that was just plain yucky.
The location was really good. Very close to the airport although a little tricky getting on and off the correct ramps until you've done it a few times. We rented a car and it took about a day before we really had the routes to the city figured out. It was an easy trip to the sights though. Also super easy to get to the outlying areas like Lancaster and even a great dinner just down the road in Wilmington, Delaware. Highly recomend the Brewery on the waterfront, my husband's favorite meal of the trip. Great shuttle to the airport which made it easy to catch our flight on time.
Overall, a great stay and I would say much better than expected for an airport hotel.

We recently stayed at this hotel while in town for business. This was my second visit to this hotel, the first time was two years ago. I want to start with the good this about this hotel...

The good...
1. The hotel shuttle picked me up at the airport within 15 minutes of calling them. The hotel is only about a 5-10 minute drive from the airport.
2. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I was booked in a room on the 5th floor. (one that was recently updated) It was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big. I would suggest you request a room that on the 4th or 5th floor, they are the ones which have been updated. The other rooms are not very nice.
3. The breakfast was great. As with all Embassy Suites the breakfast was cook to order (omlets, etc..) and free.

The not so good...
1. The hotel lobby is under construction. There are workers everywhere, but they did clean up while they were working.
2. There was only one elevator working while I stayed here. It was a long walk from the working elevator to my sleeping room.
3. One day...I returned to my room to find my door open, but no one was there. I thought maybe they were cleaning my room, but they were not and I did not see a cleaning lady anywhere close to my room. (this was a little scary)

Once this hotel is finished with updates, it should be very nice.

This place is undergoing major renovations.
Usually this is stated on the website, but not here ,and the cost of the room sure was not discounted. Pool was closed. Business center and internet access closed. ATM gone. Snack room, little store closed.
Hallway had an old apple core outside of the elevator when I checked in and it was still there the next day - right next to a wine glass knocked over on it's side the entire stay. I had booked 2 nights, I checked out after the first night.
The managers reception , always a benny of staying at an Embassy, was in a meeting room behind the bar. The bar was open but charging for overpriced drinks.
