It is a little old/showing it’s age and in general it’s what you’d expect from a lower price hotel near the airport; however 5 stars for the people Everyone who works here is friendly, helpful, quick to solve a problem Truly great customer service which is super hard to find

Also the shower was newly renovated and very clear and the towels felt new, thick and soft! Free airport shuttle too

Brian Santell

we stayed just for a night prior to an early morning flight Room was clean Shuttle was on time and easy to catch on the way back

Parking at the hotel while we were away was super cheap (approx $1250 per night) Their lot seemed fairly safe – I didn’t have any qualms about keeping my car there I would highly recommend this hotel if you are planning on driving to it and parking your car there while you travel

Jennifer Kelley

Quiet!!! We like to stay out by the airport when we come back to Philly It’s convenient for my family when we fly and also when we decide to drive from South Carolina We have seen a decline in our regular hotels and have had bad luck trying new places as there seems to be more and more people using the hotels as their homes

This place was nice, clean and quiet The staff was courteous and the on-site bar was definitely a plus when we were unexpectedly snowed in This mat be our new regular place to stay when we come to town

I’ve stayed at many hotels in my life (including The Eden Resort), and my stay at The Maj in Philly was by far the best experience I’ve ever hadThe pillows are the BEST pillows I’ve ever slept on in my LIFE! Dante was helpful to my boyfriend in booking the reservation India was helpful at check-in and showing us how to use the mirror

The woman who checked us out today was very courteous and asked about our stay It was very clean and comfortable The shower experience was very relaxing They have a lot of technology in the rooms too, including a Smart Mirror in the bathroom and a button to draw the curtainsDefinitely the most positive experience at a hotel

Pedro Reyes

When I selected this hotel, I selected it for its pet policy (I have a dog) and it’s proximity to the eastern state Penitentiary I had zero expectations of a good stay in downtown Philadelphia That being said, I was absolutely shocked with the quality of the facility – the rooms are all smart rooms with a ton of exceptional features I don’t typically find even in more expensive places, with everything from climate control to the smart mirror in the bathroom being controlled by your phone

In addition, the staff were an absolutely incredible breath of fresh air I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels and resorts and the staff here around the clock were some of the most professional, helpful, and courteous people I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with on a vacation Miss India, Sia, Maddie, in particular were available at all times and helpful 100% of the time If I had a question or a problem, they had a solution or an answer almost instantly 10/10 would stay at this place happily and I have no intention of ever staying anywhere else when I come to the area

Sara Jane

Clean, modern Hi-Tech boutique hybrid hotel The over all ambiance is sleek and minimalistic while still being tasteful and intimate Quality cotton bedding, towels and robes

Comfortable high end pillows and mattress Smart room features allow you to control the thermostat, TV, lights, blinds and door lock from your phone while the bathroom has a smart mirror It’s a short walking distance from museums, attractions and several great restaurants There is no parking or valet at this time and that was our only minor inconvenienceI highly recommend this hotel

We felt right at home here! Stayed for a quick trip to visit a museum in the city Everyone was amazing, friendly and helpful! I wasn’t sure how to get to the train station and a desk clerk immediately helped me! Super clean and quiet! The bed and pillow/comforter were very cozy! My boys enjoyed the pool after dinner The breakfast was delicious and the dining area spacious and kept very tidy! Will most definitely return and recommend!

Nichelle Cashe

Oh My Goodness

🥰🥰 This hotel is clean, modern and aesthetically pleasing The room was very well thought out as far as space and separation of the bed from the living area As well as there being several doors between the room and the toilet if you don’t want nighttime flushing to awaken anyone The bed was soooo comfy and the room darkening shades were appreciated I will stay here again when I’m in Media

Daniel Hogan

Our hotel was extremely clean and remodeled Visually it was beautiful The staff at the front desk were kind and inviting

When we got to our room, it was spotless and in great shape However, we quickly realized the our toilet barely flushed and only let a small amount of water down with each flush We arrived late and didn’t want anyone coming to the room to fix it late at night, so whenever we needed to use the restroom, we went from the 4th floor to the basement where the hotel exercise center was in order to use the facilities and to avoid any major plumbing issues during the night/early morning It was a huge inconvenienceAs for comfort, the best was great but the pillows were flat and worn, which affected our sleepThe website when we set our reservation stated the pool was out of order for repairs, so we didn’t not bring any swim gear When we arrived, we were told the pool had been completed 2-3 weeks prior We were also told at check in that the hot breakfast wouldn’t be available because the kitchen was being repaired/remodeled This would have been extremely helpful to know ahead of timeOverall, our stay was mixed The staff was friendly and the building was very clean and well kept The exercise room was much better than most hotels I’ve used But the inconveniences of the toilet, pillows, pool, and breakfast took a lot away from our stay I wanted to love it, but it wasn’t great

I hosted a celebration in the Gathering Room at the Inn at Swarthmore and the experience was perfect! Booking the space was seamless and my contact for organizing and booking, Melissa, was so helpful and responsive The space looked elegant when after set-up was complete, and the staff were amazing with everything from set-up to helping me find safety pins to secure my dress The staff even accommodated my last minute request for fresh mint and lemonade for cocktails and made sure the dessert display for my cake, cupcakes, and cookies was beautiful

The food was delicious (and there were so many options!) and plentiful The location was perfect for accommodating all of my guests because the regional rail is right next to the hotel and there is plenty of parking available I looked at 17 different venues before deciding on this one – this was by far the best value and a lot of the work was done for me I also appreciated that the estimate I received when looking around was so transparent – the fees and taxes were included so no unsavory surprises! The total bill came to the exact same as the estimate I cannot say enough good things about this experience – a true hidden gem!!! Thank you all for a truly wonderful time!

Nicole Rouleau

Absolutely loved this restaurant Its a hidden gem we never knew about! The drinks were amazing The food was so so good! Highly recommend the flatbreads and the buttermilk chicken sandwich! They hire servers that are new to serving which I think is outstanding

Giving people a chance to feel good about themselves and gain experience is wonderful Great serviceThey also have a wonderful weekend brunch – will be checking that out asap!

Staff was very nice I had a corner room The windows crack a little bit and I love that but they need screens on the windows

Bugs could fly in the room Also I took a hot shower the water was extremely hot and I love it My only issue is that the smoke detector went off from my steam They need to fix that because that’s just to sensitive The smoke detector sits right outside the bathroom door Other then that I enjoyed my stay

Melanie Marban

Hotel location was prime for where we needed to be The front desk and valet service was wonderful It was snowing so our cars were cleaned off well

We ate dinner in the restaurant which was great and well seasoned The drinks were strong! Only reason I won’t give 5 stars is because the rooms need to be updated The wallpaper is peeling and the ceiling had paint chips/cracks

Roger Goun

Hotel was clean and employees were friendly Valet parking was unavailable when I arrived at 9:00 PM and I had to park quite a distance away (No one told me that Hilton has a lot nearby and it wasn’t obvious in the dark

)At 11:00 AM one morning I sent a text requesting that more soap be put in my bathroom I received a text acknowledgement from an employee 8:00 PM still no soap Had to go to the front desk for some Does Hilton consider this adequate guest service? I don’t

Amanda Dobbs

My stay was courtesy of CHOP, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, due to some much needed repairs to my house to make my home asthma safe for my sons The front desk staff was kind and courteous The rooms were a very nice size and very comfortable

I wish it had a bathtub, but it was still a comfortable room The room was also equipped with a two burner cook top, a full size fridge, a microwave, and a dishwasher One of my burners didn’t work, but it was okay The breakfast buffet was tasty It even had a vegetarian meat option There was also a nightly Manager’s Reception One night we were offered pizza and a salad with a sweet treat and a beverage The next night they gave everyone a chicken or beef cheesesteak with potato salad and a beverage I had a great time playing with my boys in the heated pool Overall, I had a very pleasant experience I gave 4 stars because one staff member seemed to display a little more kindness and courtesy to some of the guests than to others In spite of that, I would definitely stay here again I’m actually thinking of booking a room for my annual birthday getaway

Nicalena Neary

Residence Inn at the Philadelphia Airport is a well kept hotel Rooms are spacious The Lobby has ample seating, a bar area and fireplace

Breakfast is included and includes eggs, sausage, cereals, pastries, coffee/ tea and juice The staff are kind and helpful There is ample free parking A shuttle will pick up at the airport and take you to a local restaurant Worth a stay

Justin Haney

My daughter was injured because the property failed to install the deck drains and secure the lids properly The drain lid clearly stated that they must always secure the lid with screws provided After my daughter was injured the General Manager only made excuses as to why they did not secure the lids

Unfortunately the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (P&SS Act) is pretty clear in the matter, which this property fails to comply with I was told someone from their insurance company would reach out this past week Zero contact from the property or their insurance Time to start moving up the chain and alerting everyone to avoid this property as who knows who else will get hurt due to this property’s lack of concern for guest safety

Very helpful front desk and check in process Rooms were very clean and stylish Amazing water pressure in the shower and they also provide conditioner, shampoo, and body wash

There’s a cute Mexican restaurant and a cute rooftop bar to check as well I 100% recommend grabbing a coffee in the AM The coffee shop inside is so cute and the service is amazing! Lastly the coffee almost has this creaminess too it I can’t explain and I only had an American iced Definitely would stay again when in Philly!

Brett

Super location, great rates, excellent service Very comfortable bed, fun window seating (fun, not comfortable) w/nice city view, good bathroom Clean

Very thin walls and laminate floors but courteous neighbors overall Originally a “Pod” hotel but better as a Hilton In-house lobby cafe is interesting and decent enough that I would visit it on it’s own merits + it offers relatively generous Hilton elite breakfast benefit

Catherine

I booked for a long weekend in December I have no complaints The place was clean, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating

Sure, the room was small, but I knew what I was booking when I looked the place up I only needed a bed and bathroom during my stay There was of course a TV as well as under the bed storage, a safe, and two drawers The bathroom was regular sized, had a very nice shower and there was a hair dryer as well This hotel is gorgeous and I enjoyed having a cafe inside the hotel I did not have any complaints during my stay Just make sure you do some research before booking any hotel, there’s no reason for people to be disappointed in what they didn’t get when none of it was advertised in the first place

It was what I expected it to be, nothing more, nothing less The rooms were clean and well-equipped, but they weren’t made up (apparently they don’t do this unless you specifically request it) I used the fitness centre and really liked it

It was also great to be able to use the laundrySome of the staff at the front desk seemed really unhappy to be there

Joydeep Paul

Clean hotel and well maintained rooms even though it’s shows it’s age Right at the heart of center city it’s a great plus Parking is expensive if using the valet

There is a $15 parking spot just the next block The staff was mot what I would expect from a star hotel Anyone who does not show they are enjoying their work is a big negative in the service industry Overall it was a comfortable stay

Ian Melvin

Nice facility! Friendly housekeeping staff and hotel itself is well kept There were a bunch of people smoking on our floor but we know that the hotel has no control over what guests do inside their rooms unless reported Walking distance to so many restaurants and attractions

Warning, walk outside in the evening at your own risk Pleanty of people will stop you to try and ask for money but isn’t that in all big cities though?

Key piece of advice when staying here: set your expectations appropriatelyThe good:- The front desk staff was very nice and helpful!- They had a room available at 11:30pm at night- Close to the airport with included shuttle service

– Parking here while we were away was reasonabley priced, ~$10/dayThe not so good:- The room smelled damp- The bathroom ceiling had been damaged from excess moisture- The sheets were really cheapI didn’t set my expectations very high so I was pleased with my time here

Quantum Soul

The hotel itself is great! The front desk staff not so much We had reservations but the two girls working overnight decided to give one of my rooms to someone else Then when we arrived they wanted to argue with my husband about it just to turn around and give us the two rooms we needed but told us not to bring our pets

Our original reservation was for two rooms both accepting pets I brought my dogs into the room for the night regardless and will NOT be staying here again! I wish companies like this would hire the right people and train them correctly 😋

Melanie Love

Traveling outside one’s familiar settings is always a bit daunting, and emphatically needing a comfortable stay for multiple nights tends to put a high price on available offerings This Holiday Inn came recommended to me, and I’m so glad that it was – the rooms are wonderfully well-furnished, and luxuriously cozy It really felt as much like “home away from home” as a hotel could, with everything from climate control, carpeting, lights, shower and bathroom, and of course the bedding feeling Just Right

The in-house restaurant serves unexpectedly great food, and the staff are very friendly and professional All this, for a price that I think is pretty reasonable, and one I wouldn’t mind paying again A convenient location, in a quiet neighborhood, close to any possible stores, restaurants, or highways – if you’re looking to stay in Drexel Hill, for purposes whether local or generally nearby (eg Philadelphia), I think this Holiday Inn is a great value for your money

Lee Roberts

Hotel is off the beaten path Not many other people in hotel during my stay Indoor pool has salt water and has been broken for months waiting for a part

First room had clogged drains and area under bathroom sink had not been swept Here is the bright part Staff is incredible and switched my room right away Building is only 3 years old so amenities are modern Restaurant & bar on premises I would stay here again

Kim Glasford

We came to town for a baby shower in Clifton Heights Holiday Inn has always been one of my go to hotels plus I’m IHG rewards members The staff was friendly as usual

The room was clean and smell good The only think I had an issue with is the shower water pressure which seem to always be low at all Holiday Inn The bathroom toiletries was Dove productsThe Streetlight bar and restaurant is very nice had breakfast there before heading The buffet is $1699 per person I love there set up with the hotel

An overall fair experienceTo start, I had reserved a king room a few weeks ago On arrival at 5:30pm, was informed that no kings were available

We were given the option of taking an immediately available double queen or waiting for the king We had a concert to get to in less than two hours so we opted for the double queenThe room was at least very quiet, but it really looked pretty worn See the pics below for the quite worn desk chair, rusty hardware on the furniture and what I can only assume was a missing shower caddy? on the shower wall leaving a residue of adhesive Felt more like a two star motel rather than a 3 star hotel roomThe lobby area was quite nice however, and they serve cookies at night in the lobby, which is a “sweet” touch The hotel is also within walking distance of a Target and several chain restaurants which was convenientOverall, relatively affordable but I probably would not stay again unless I had a worse experience at a nearby hotel

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any stay This web site will compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices a lot cheaper compared to others! You’re welcome :)! This place is one of the most well known in the area

ROOM: I was extremely happy with the room accommodations I got a 2x queen bed room Lots of lighting, desk / counter space, and closet space

Mini fridge actually got coldSERVICE: There was no room service unfortunately the weekend i stayed There was one housekeeping staff that was extremely rude and attempted to literally walk through me near the elevators as i rounded a corner It was a moment of a game of “chicken” The service staff in the lobby at the reception and at the breakfast were excellentLOCATION: very safe, with frequent night patrols by hotel security, which i appreciated The hotel is tucked away in an area with nice grass and trees Only minor downside is that it is not in center city itselfOVERALL: would return

This hotel has large comfortable rooms Housekeeping was great! We really have no complaints The parking garage is not truly self-park since they actually need to park your car since they use an elevator instead of ramps but the parking garage attendants were very nice and answered any questions I had

It only took a few minutes for them to bring my car down when it was time to leave

Jefferey Holoman

Nice spacious room Plenty of clean towels and hot water The bed was so comfortable! The room service was attentive with waters and coffee

They also did a great job cleaning the room The hotel is right on the edge of all the shopping and great restaurants The fitness center is pretty nice and all the machines were in good working order I consider this hotel a great value for center city Philadelphia! I can’t find anything negative to say about it!

PLEASE READ: This is falsely advertised as a 4 star hotel Maybe they’re mixing up review ratings with actual hotel star ratings I’d give it 2 star at best

It’s just down the street from the Westin and it’s like comparing a motel to the Ritz I paid over $200 each for 2 signature deluxe rooms and was hopeful upon arrival but the parking was shady and a bit creepy The staff is nice and the lobby is nice but when I got into the tiny elevator that felt like it was going to fall at any minute, hope dwindled When I walked into my room I knew I’d been duped It was definitely a “lipstick on a pig” situation The rooms smelled musty and of mold, the wallpaper was peeling, the amount of dust and dirt is appalling The bathroom grout was dirty, the bathroom door didn’t lock and there was no fan/vent in the bathroom There were also black specks on the bedding When you check out they don’t ask you “how was your stay” because they must know the answer will be “extremely disappointing”Now, I’m not writing to bash the hotel, I am hopeful that the problems can be acknowledged and addressed but mostly that guests can know what they are getting before they decide I wish I could post photos here, but I hope my descriptions suffice

Not impressed

first of all, I arrived after midnight, alone, and was stranded outside closed hotel doors for a good 5 minutes Not really a fun thing for a lone female in Philadelphia The hotel staff was claiming that they did not hear me ring the bell all that time It would be one thing if they apologized for the wait, but no, I should’ve called the hotel and pressed zero (which I did and was waiting on hold, so that didn’t help) However, the next day Erika was very nice and kind and accommodates a room change The hotel itself is in rough shape (maintenance and upkeep), there was also an odd high pitch winning noise every single morning for about 15 minutes Not sure if this was the issue with the center AC turning on or what The first room I was in had the loudest fridge in the world, to the point that I had to close the bedroom door to try to keep the noise down, and the kitchen light had no light switche at all The second room was a bit better, but still rough Housekeeping was totally inconsistent Some days they showed up and just got the trash, other days they made the beds, and the last two days they didn’t show up at all Not even to replenish supplies Breakfast was mediocre They ran out of to go cups at some point in time, so you couldn’t even leave with your coffee The pool was lovely, but hot tub was closed If you have other options Go there

Nice hotel with affordable rates and great service The pool is somewhat of a nice perk in the city The lobby has a nice steakhouse and very lively bar

However, the bathrooms appear dated The valet folks are nice but take forever to get your car They don’t even let you call down for your car—so be ready to wait 45-60 min The only reason we would stay here again is because of the great hotel staff!

Brooke Morgan

Didn’t get to enjoy the pool since it was closed for the season (stayed in October), that would’ve made my visit! The room was nice, we had a corner, so we had a little view down the road instead of just an airshaft Bustling hotel, seemed like a lot of folks were visiting to enjoy a sporting event, but I was present for a wedding Like others have said, the valet was indeed very slow

I’m glad I didn’t need my vehicle except for at checkout Lots of the amenities had been suspended due to COVID, so I’m not sure I really got the full hotel experienceand I could’ve done with a larger bathroom for sure It got really humid in the room after showering All in all, I think I enjoyed it mostly because I had a wonderful companion and was there to celebrate something special The post-wedding brunch catered by the hotel was good I was given gluten free pancakes by special request!

Room service was lack luster The shower temperature wasn’t consistent, even if you didn’t touch the knob it could do from warm to scolding hot in just a few seconds Furthermore the pool had so much chlorine I almost threw up when I inhaled too much

The bed was fine but the pillow were to firm and my neck was so soreIt was in a good location, and the front desk person was incredibly nice and accommodatingUnder normal pricing this would be a 3/5 but the price is way to high for the less than adequate convenience and comfort Would not recommend compared too other hotels

Nice gym Plenty of parking And the staff!!! I don’t think I ever once walked through that door without being greeted by a small and a warm welcome Everyone was so kind and helpful I really recommend staying here if you’re in the area
