Great experience overall Amazing location! Hotel room was clean, quiet, and comfortable Bed was clean, comfortable (not amazing, but suited us well for our stay)

Staff was kind, quick, and courteous Although the hotel certainly is not brand-new and a few areas showed signs of age, it was overall a lovely stay with great serviceBreakfast was fine, but if you want something truly delicious, go across the street to Reading Terminal MarketParking fees are excessive If you know how to navigate street parking and parking lots (and are willing to walk a block or 2), you’ll save a lot

M. Jay Hilano

Avail for the family room Has 2 full size bed and a sofa bed Room very spacious and clean

Bathroom is adequately sized and cleanConcierge are nice and friendlyLocated across the Reading Terminal with tons of food and drinks availableIt’s also beside the convention center which is very convenient is you are attending a conferenceDidn’t give a 5 star rating since I witnessed a mice scurrying around the lobby floor near the food/drink section

Ren Frank

Stayed here for about 4 days The location of this hotel is perfect! Close to many things like the Reading Market Terminal, the convention center, and other historical sitesOur room was in general clean, but it does need to be updated and renovated along with certain parts of the hotel

There was no fan/vent thing in our bathroomThe free breakfast was good They offer breakfast sandwiches, eggs, bagels, waffles, fruit, cereal, and yogurt For beverages: juice, milk, tea, and coffee But, you have to wake up real early to get food!!! Breakfast is only served from 6am to 9am Wish it ended at 10am though because not many people wake up earlyParking here is expensive Thought there would be free parking or at least discounted parking for guestsOverall, the staff were professional and friendly Thank you guys for working!

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

Jenny Contenta

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

Rachelle Marie

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

I’m not a celebrity but if you are a celebrity and like privacy, either bring security or stay somewhere else because the staff let’s fans camp out in the lobby(all day) and swarm/stalk celebrities, I witnessed this during my stay and found this disturbing I’m surprised the staff didn’t try to discourage this or do anything to protect their guests from these stalkersHad to call the lobby for extra towels and the lady who answered was rude

Rick Forsgren

Super easy to walk to from the airport! A very convenient location Got in late, but there were people there to help me Everyone was very friendly

Even the people working in the little shop and Starbucks Fairly quiet for an airport location I was impressed I would have given them five stars, but the elevators and general facilities are a bit run down They could use some updating

Se-jeong Lim

The room is spacious and niceThe staffs were not so friendly

The day duty shift front desk people were not so friendly Night shift were more approachable The gym was ok but they didn’t manage well Water was always out, had to open the compartments to check, the sanitary wipes were always out, couldn’t clean the equipments, there were bunch of kids running up and down using all the equipments without any guardians and the guests were not having pleasant time at the gym including me due to their noise and much movementsthere is nothing around the hotel except the airport

We came here for a convention It was conveniently located just across the street from the convention centerThe staff was friendly but the valet parking crew weren’t very efficient and we waited in line for about a half hour and parking is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!The front desk was helpful and efficient

The room was clean a d the AC worked but couldn’t be adjusted below 70 degreesTheir service was great and when we left out the do not disturb sign they would call to check if we wanted maid servicesWe stayed 5 days and were comfortable 😌It is situated right in down town and was convenient for walking to about anywhere we wanted to goWe feel like we can recommend this place

Mark Heck

Very nice hotel Staff was Very Friendly and helpful Valets, Doormen, Bell Hops, Desk clerks, Housekeeping always cheerful and greeting you asking if you need help

(Adria greeted us at the front door when we arrived and started helping us from the get She even insisted on grabbing our bags from the trunk)Waiters at the restaurant in the Lobby were awesome (especially Altin and Edward)I wish I could remember all their names of the rest of the staff to put in a good word for all of themAs far as the hotel itself: Clean, and nice with good viewsCentrally located in the city Next to the Reading Terminal Market(Best eats in town) Convenient to the subway walking distance to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell Walking distance to City Hall and Convention Center,

Alison Chaplin

I stayed here for a two- day work retreat The only positive was that the people who worked here were really nice and accommodating Parking was a nightmare, even for those who arrived early

The food was hit or miss– either there were a number of really tasty options, or everything was gross, depending on the meal My room was ok, but there was hair everywhere that could not have been mine and I couldn’t make the room cool enough to be comfortable Overall, it seemed like they couldn’t professionally handle the amount of people we had there

Had to leave Dallas at 0300 to catch a red eye flight I was sooo tired Researched what this place was and decided to give it a try

It is an enclosed area that has a desk and a TV and a long couch The couch has 2 pillows to sleep on plus they bring you in a super soft warm blanket Only complaint was I asked them to wake me in 1 hr They didn’t I woke myself up at 1pm and my flight departing out of a different terminal would be boarding in 19 min I did make my flight I would definitely do it again but would advise you to set alarm on your phone You can turn lights completely off and they have a machine that plays sounds so you won’t be disturbed Rm also come with basket of snacks for purchase Ask about the newcomer pilot nurse and 1st responder discount I only pd 24 for an hr Priority pass holders through American Express get their 1st hour free Highly advise if you just need a few hrs of sleep to get you back on track They have 10 different airport locations

Julio Jiménez

Changed my rating up from 1 to 4 stars They need to improve their intake process a bit to make sure that they don’t knock on your door several times while you are asleep to figure out whether you had left a card or prepaid this or that Overall is a good place to take a break/nap between flights

Don’t expect a hotel room, but priced accordingly

Lana Réy

I’m so sad this place is closed for renovations at a time when we needed it most It’s been nothing but red tape since covid starred Now that travel is opening up so much again this couldn’t come at a worse time

My husband has the migraine from hell and a reprieve for a few hours would have been perfect! My excitement quickly turned to dismay when I saw it was not an option for us

Christine Kivel

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 love Live! casino, very nice property and conveniently located next to the stadiumsThey definitely have the best player rewards program that I have seen at any casino, especially for poker playersEver since poker has returned post pandemic this has been the best place to play daily poker tournaments and get into cash games

They have stakes for all bankrollsHope to see this poker room continue to grow in the future

Craig Rawling

One of my favorite casinos The staff is friendly, hosts are cool and helpful, clean and food is greatJust updateHigh limit table host Eric, Robin and all the host staff are top notch

Environmental services along with slot floor host are always around Caring and willing to help you The hotel is maintained and nicely designed I would stay even if I wasn’t into going to casino since it’s very quietly sectioned away from casino The events and shows are very unique and welcoming to sports fans I will be playing poker and slots exclusively here since the staff and facilities are second to none within 140 miles from philly

Jeff

Perfect location (next to the stadiums) Walked over after a baseball game and got in easily Spent some time in the sports betting area which had ample space and comfortable seats

Spent some time at the table games The cheapest blackjack I found was $15/hand with a 6-8 deck setup They did have an auto shuffler game for $5 per hand, but I never win with those

The rooms are average and could use a little TLC However, the location is amazing and central to all the great touristy sites of Philly Even better than the location, is the service

Outstanding and much better than higher rated hotels I’ve stayed We came in extremely early from a red flight; they found us a room We needed to check out late because of late flight; they allowed us to stay late Excellent service without making it seem like a big deal

Adam Schechner

Pros:-Location can’t be beat A few minutes from Reading Terminal, across the street from city hall-Kitchen in the rooms

-Breakfast buffet is included and more than adequate-Mattress is nice and firm-Staff is very polite and responsiveCons:-Valet is expensive (though we knew this), but when they say it takes 30-45 minutes to get your car, they mean it-Lobby has apparently been under construction for months-Rooms are very dated and need some major renovation-Water in the sink did not get very hot-No safe in the room-AC struggles to keep the room cool, even when it’s in the 50’s outside-Center City noise Not at all the hotel’s fault, but something to consider when choosing a hotelOverall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again, but there are definitely some improvements that should be made

Why Doihavetodothis

This was a perfect location for the convention center Right near reading terminal market for food Walk a couple blocks and you’re at a park, or a mall, or surrounded by food

Hot buffet breakfast, only downside is it’s the same thing every morningStaff was amazing Especially Mark at the front desk He was incredibly helpful each time we saw him Breakfast room crew always friendly and refreshing the hot foodsWater pressure in room was a low in the sinks and I wouldn’t recommend driving Philly water, we bought gallon jugs from the 711 around the corner

Excellent experience at the LoganLocation – very close to the main attractions and directly in the middle of attractions Centrally located, so everything is within walking distance or a short cab ride away

Cleanliness – very clean; spot checked the bed and bathroom and it was spotless No finger marks on any of the glass and the amenities were all unusedService – very superior Acknowledged at the front desk by staff, recognized for my status, and they helped guide me to my room (thanks Cheryl!)Facilities – clean, spacious, and excellent for weddings Great fitness spaceOverall, very satisfied with this hotel It’s clean, the service is top notch, and the value is there Would stay here again for business or leisure

Brian Ford

Staff was friendly Parking expensive, but that’s all over Pool got real crowded with no towel replacement and water collecting on entire deck area

Gym was clean and very adequate Beautiful inside decorations Easy to navigate Great location, a lot in walking distance Room rates seemed reasonable Double beds make it Tight

Obinna Onyenedum

This is a wonderful hotel for every single type of trip I came here with my wife two years ago for Valentine’s Day and we had a wonderful time It was conveniently located with plenty of parking for drivers, a rooftop bar, and within walking distance from food, drinks, and sites

Fast forward two years and happenstance visit to Philly and google reminded me that we had stayed here beforeso we went with it again! This time, the Logan staff was the talking point, the evening manager was extremely respectful and accommodating We had reserved our room via a 3rd party vendor and unfortunately that room had already been booked The manager made the switch without a moment’s hesitation and got us a new room with a view The staff were quick with all our front office calls and even were able to store some food for us that needed to be in a freezer over night Want to thank the General Manager for adding the finishing touch the next morning when we checked out by offering us additional recommendations of places do go during our last hours in the cityIf you are in Philly you would be wise to book your stay here and put your mind at ease All around great experience at a really good price!

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

I normally don’t rate or write reviews, but I need to share my experience at this hotel The staff was VERY friendly and helpful Every single person said good morning and hello when we saw them in the hall

The room was clean with up to date decor There was a nice pool, although we didn’t get a chance to swim The breakfast was hot and had a nice dining area near the buffet The location is perfect being close to many restaurants and attractions in downtown, and yet it is a short walk to the closest Broad Street SEPTA station if you need to get to the stadiums I was leery to book this place because it had a 42 rating on google, but it was the best deal I could find for one night I’m quite picky with hotels, and while it is no Ritz Carlton, it definitely deserves a higher rating than a 42 for a hotel in the middle of downtown Philly Thank you for a great stay!

Joshua Aarnes

The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful Breakfast was good and had a nice variety The pool is a bit small and closes about 10 minutes earlier than the advertised “open til 9” but was still nice and refreshing when it was open

Overall, they made our stay wonderful and we would go backThe only real downfall of the hotel was the thin walls in the room we were it It seemed like it was converted from a suite into two separate rooms and the connecting door was just permanently locked But that door is as thin as a bedroom door might be and we heard our neighbors pretty much at all times

roderic mul

Close to the center and some of the best restaurants Although clearly not a new hotel the rooms are good and have a nice view over the city A plus is the swimming pool

A little card in the room notifies that towels are available at the pool That’s a sign of good care Breakfast was good Eggs, sausage and pancakes etc Very very friendly staff Also in the breakfast room!

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

Mike Dallas

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

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!

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!

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

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

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
