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

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 😋

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

Fast, efficient, accurate scheduling of reservation and transmission of required documentation electronically for completion of check-in process Clean, modern, spacious facility with friendly front desk personnel with good attitude towards their duties Manager, Erica, expresses great interest in satisfaction of hotel guests and their feedback, especially from Hilton Honors members

I had a great experience with this location of the Homewood Suites by Hilton and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Philadelphia metropolitan area

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

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

What started out disappointing turned out to be a decent stay I booked our room for my cousins wedding months before I worked directly with an agent to understand the sleeping arrangements

It was booked is a queen suite so we could be in the building with the other wedding guests but would have 2 queen beds and a couch bed When we arrived they said our room wasn’t ready less than an hour before the wedding and they down graded us because they over sold the wedding rate After being a Marriott rewards member since the program first started I was disgusted and very irate I asked for the on-site manager When they reviewed my book and saw how many months out I booked they immediately put me back into the room I had booked and it was amazingly it was ready The room was lovely but the service was terrible They helped me and screwed the people who checked in right before me, also wedding quests and the family after us too Later that night a family came down for bedding for their pull out couch and the hotel gave them 1 sheet, 1 blanket and one pillow and told them that was the last pillow they hadAll I can say is that the hotel was clean and quiet and attached to the venue so that was worth it I can tell you I would only recommend this hotel if you had to attend an event at the Springfield Country club Definitely not a relaxing vacation spot

Jerry grizzly

This place is huge Very clean very neat and very organized The entrance has a super big axcent wall soon as u enter with a great appealing view

All the staff was so polite and very generous The lighting was well lit everywhere chandeliers where spectacular everywhere I looked The services were all perfect the parking was abundant The food served was delicious I mean everything went perfectly well for me and my wife no complaints at all 5 stars to the venue the building the staff the food and the whole experience here

Ravi Bhave

We were at the hotel for a wedding It was a festive occasion for us and we were looking forward to a great stay at Marriott hotel But there were many surprises in the wings

1) The rooms do not have lockers to store your valuables They have bank-type lockers at the check-in counter which are very inconvenient when you have to carry your valuables, including jewelry from your room to the front desk Also very risky for losing some of the stuff2) When I called in to deliver a pillow to my room, the front desk clerk refused as he was alone on duty and was not allowed to leave the desk So if you need anything after 10PM, you have to go down to front desk3) They did not have foam pillows The front desk people did not even know what foam pillow looks/feels like The bed was very soft The room was small with not much light in the room The switches are located at inconvenient places There is no microwave in the room You can use the microwave located near front desk But just like locker situation, this is inconvenient as well4) My Marriott App mentioned that I had free breakfast But the front desk said that it is wrong and they will contact Marriott to update their system I did not push for getting free breakfast after see the other issues I mentioned above5) At times there were long lines to front desk since they only had 1 or 2 clerks working there6) There was still construction going on in the hotel, but we did not hear lot of noiseNow the good part1) The staff was friendly and tried to help as much as they could2) It is located on a very nice golf course So all the golf lovers this is the place to stay if you are in Springfield, PAWe had pleasant time due to all the festivities, but the stay could have been much better

Prasad Patel

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!

Max Schuelke

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

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

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!

Sheena

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

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!

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!

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

This was one of the cutest places I have stayed! Very Cozy! The staff was super friendly and very helpful They had already put the coffee up in the morning but the sweet girl working the front desk went back and got me a cup! I highly recommend this place! I will be visiting again! The only thing I wish they had in the rooms was a small refrigerator, but that will not stop me from going back! Love Loved It!

Aisha Hadejia

I absolutely LOVE this hotel, the beautiful mid century modern decor exudes a warmth and charm that most ‘modern’ hotels don’t offerThe area was also perfect, steps from a variety of food, bookstores, parks and beautiful mosaic artworks My room was perfectly appointed, bed was firm but comfortable, with plenty of pillows

I was in town for work and it was such a pleasure to wind down in my peaceful hotel room Check in was a breeze and the counter staff were so friendly and kind Christina was the night counter staff, helped my with a small technical issue in my room It was resovled quickly and with care She was thoughtful enough to mention the continental breakfast the next morning- I was leaving quite early (6am)to catch a flight Breakfast is usually posted at 7 but she said that Tony would be more than happy to have some coffee ready for my departure if need beThe following morning coffee and breakfast were waiting for me before making my way to the airport Tony greeted me in the lobby and let me know there was coffee and bagels available He also made sure I had a ride to the airport and if I would need help with my bags Overall from check in to check out the staff really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and care for and I will most definitely recommend this lovely hotel to future travellers I too will most definitely be back!!

Ashton Bishop

The Alexander Inn is a delightful mid-century hotel with some lovely amenities The staff we encountered were professional, cheerful and kind An unexpected benefit of our stay here was that we are right at the edge of the gay neighborhood of Philadelphia

For my husband and I this was superb Even though we were close to the gay neighborhood, it was also a very easy walking distance to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell and many other key historic sites in Philadelphia We will definitely be staying here again when we return to , the location is simply perfect and the aesthetic qualities of the hotel itself are beautiful

This hotel is very conveniently located It has great parking, but no valet available One can tell that this was a beautiful hotel at one point but NOTHING has been done to it and it is decaying

The bones of the hotel are beautiful, but the furniture is second rate, the decorations are scant and cheap, the carpets and curtains have seen better days While we were staying there, the fire alarm went off and it took them a long time to get the elevators running again The door was on our room would open without a key and the bathroom curtain was filthyThe hotel’s restaurant, Nineteen, is very nice, but only the inner circle is well decorated The rest of the tables look like fold awaysTo get into the hotel, one has to walk through a weird office lobby where at one point there must have been stores but now we wonky empty spacesIt is sad to see such a beautiful building go without maintenance or upkeep

Very charming 200 year old hotel The rooms are very dark and not the cleanest I really disliked the beds, hard mattresses and now comforter on the bed

Meeting rooms are nice and large No coffee shop and no bar So much potential My lights kept coming on in my room the entire week stay Super annoying that they do not clean your room daily

Priced high, expected it to be cleaner The room was large as we had a corner room, double bed Room furniture, carpet is all pretty aged and quite dirty

Shower drained slow and filled up the tub rather quick Hallways and carpets dirty feel We really wanted a more luxurious stay here as it was pictures and displayed so nice on the advertisements Restaurant not open for dining in, delivery fee and 5 dollar cold stale toast Parking was 40 bucks for one night! They DO NOT VALIDATE parking like some reviews say they do A bummer, but downtown near shopping

Edit: Down to 1starNo Edison outlet between beds This really sucks if you have sleep apnea The clock does have two slow charging USB ports though

AC is weird Do not recommend of you love super cold rooms Won’t go below 62 and if you’re below 65 the AC stops removing a lot of the humidity for some reasonHousekeeping is inconsistent and always came in the afternoon when I was already back from workThey have exactly 1 washer and 1 dryer for the whole building to share And the dryer is brokenLocation is suboptimal I wish they were 5mi east because there’s a void of hotels there that extends to downtownThey have a bar/restaurant, and even a sign by the road advertising it’s now open, but the chef has been out for weeks and won’t be back for weeks Seems dumb to only have a single guy who is scheduled to cookFront desk people are friendly and do what they canBreakfast is free, and fairly typical Nothing fancy, but it’s not lackingParking is freeThe elevator doors close very slowly, but the close door button Does work and it’s worth pushing

I stayed here for a month and I really can’t say enough good things about it The rooms were clean, quiet, and bright Housekeeping always did a great job

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

Stay at this hotel for two nights for a baseball tournament, from 7/8 to 7/10 It was approx 20 minutes to our places play Staff was very helpful from check in to out, I mean all staff down to housekeeping

Very nice considering all the boys that were there for the tournament Every time walking passed some one, they said hi, how are you Rooms were big and spacious, clean Hotel is right near a Cracker Barrel, Wendy’s, and gas station if you need anything They have coin operated laundry there if needed

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

I have been coming here for a long time If you choose this place you definitely won’t regret itBeautiful hotel, well kept, clean, excellent service, great location for what I went for will definitely stay again if I ever visit Philadelphia again Employees very attentive and friendly

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

1st I’m a Diamond member, my room was upgraded to a suite This was my 1st time at this location The room was a king bed suite

It was amazing! Full sitting area and kitchen with a spacious bathroom Due to staffing shortages, you have to request house keeping when you check in I had a issue with the shower head but the service was quick to fix the issue Most of the staff were friendly However the bar staff could use some training on how to talk to people and how not to be passive when something needs to be addressed like patrons bringing in outside food and ordering a drink and then being asked to leave for the outside food Finally, I was here for a conference The meeting rooms were great as were the support staff who were prompt and make sure everything was in order The location has homeless people at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the subway on the Locust street side I would use caution when exploring, especially as night falls

The hotel is nice but for the price I would expect more The 4 elevators were simply not enough to handle the traffic so there was a lot of waiting and overcrowding Thankfully most people wore masks inside the hotel

I paid extra for city views but unless I was tricked into thinking that this means my room would be facing towards the center, I did not get one Breakfast was good but it should have been included in the price The hotel overall is nice and clean and very conveniently located

S. Salim

The rooms are spacious, and clean The common spaces are clean and the location is convenient Unfortunately we encountered staffing and communication issues with staff

First of all I was struggling to get my things out of my car and the valets were standing around talking to each other instead of offering to help After i did the heavy lifting they offered to help I asked the front desk for a dolly and instead of calling a bellman they told me to go ask the valet myself You have to schedule room cleaning and even though we did schedule it and then asked multiple times when our room wasn’t clean, housekeeping never came Housekeeping was actually outside our room and we asked them to clean again and they said we had to leave while they cleaned We left and mentioned it to the front desk and they said the cleaning crew was still working When we returned many hours later our room was still not clean We called the front desk and they said the cleaning crew had left They sent someone up with towels who was actually the same cleaning person who said they were getting to our room earlier in the day! Some staff was very helpful although there was definitely an attitude problem at a few standard guest requests I’ve noticed a big change in the quality of Hilton hotels and in a very negative way If you care at all about getting what you’re promised and accountability then don’t stay here
