My wife and I have stayed at an AKA 5 or 6 times, the last 3 being at this location at University City in Philly We’ve obviously enjoyed our stays because we keep coming back This review is specifically about the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff

Kudos to local management This high quality staff doesn’t just happen It’s hiring the best people and training them to make their guests feel welcome 5 stars for staff on 28, at desk and management!

Grace G.

The stay was wonderful The kids enjoyed the pool and movie room, and I enjoyed the view/cleanliness of our suite EJ was AMAZING! He constantly checked on us and made sure we had a great stay

He prepared the movie room, brought snacks and water, brought towels to the pool, answered all questions I mean he went above and beyond, the customer service was great Overall a great stay!

Daiana Lucisano

We have stayed in room 3524 for 10 days and there were some problems, but the staff took care of everything with kindness and professionalism I am grateful to the general manager Sharon Bell, the sales manager Carla Caboni and the chief engineer Robert: they took care of all the problems and offered to make up for them Now we moved to an apartment in AKA and everything is fine and perfectly furnished thanks to the helpful staff that works here

Rooms and apartments are beautiful and have a stunning view over Philly’s skyline I highly recommend this place- Mizio & Daiana

Words cannot express how truly wonderful this bed and breakfast is! I needed a getaway for a couple days and this was the perfect spot The owners are so kind and attentive (plus they have three adorable dogs), the decorations and setup of the place are immaculate, and the atmosphere is completely comfortable It’s also the perfect place to devour a couple books

I have never felt so at home at a place that wasn’t home I highly, highly recommend staying at the Alpenhof!

Clayton Park RV Escape

We really enjoyed our stay at Alpenhof A quiet weekend away was just what the doctor ordered It’s comfortable, beautifully decorated, in a beautiful area, and a quick drive to museums and shopping

They serve a delicious breakfast and it was really nice being waited on by Rowland and Anh We would love to return for the Monet experience some time this summer if we can possibly get away

Debbie Rubenstein

What can I say? The alpenhof reflects it’s owners, Roland and Ann: it is warm, cozy, welcoming and thoroughly original The rooms are cozy but cleverly laid out and very comfortable The breakfast was wonderful and the company and stories were even better

Roland grew up in the house and shared stories of his horticulturalist mother and concert pianist father Plus, we accidentally booked one night too few Roland did some kind of magic and managed to let us stay an extra night He had every right to be crabby and unhelpful but he was the soul of kindness instead

Our stay here a was awesome! The rooms are clean and spacious The toilet and shower were in a separate room from the sink and mirror which was a big bonus when traveling with others (No waiting 😉!)A hot Breakfast is a must for me and it is extra here depending on what you get, but the cook it for you and bring it out to your table

Great place and very reasonable rates!

Chris Kelley

I will not stay at this Courtyard again, and I am a dedicated Marriott customer First room I had smelled like mold and dirt, front desk issued another room The bed was unformfortable, worn, but seemed to be clean

However the sheets of reused plywood sticking out from under the mattress was concerning Overall the rooms are dated and are in need of a full renovation The lobby was nicely done

Shelia T

Always friendly and welcoming The team is always willing to go the extra mileRooms are clean and comfortableLocation is awesome access to major roadways restaurants and shopping is in close proximity to the hotelHighly recommend

Lexi Ayala

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!

We stayed here while our bathroom was getting redone We live 5 min away The hotel was very nice and clean

The pool was great! And the staff was even better Everyone from the girl who was at the front desk In the early evening to the guy running the breakfast! They were all so nice and welcoming I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area My kids loved it there

Yousef A. Almubarak

Good amenities and professional staff Fresh yummy breakfast and free parking

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

Hotel was decorated in a library decor Front desk staff was friendly Needed a code to get on elevator

Down side was NO fridge, microwave or coffee maker in room Also, NO vending machines or ice makersIf ice was needed you need to go to the restaurant when it was open King room was comfortable Loved the glass walk in shower

Rhi Alyxander

-no fridge (except a beat up one we found in the hallway the cleaning staff let us take in our room

yes, I’m 100% serious)-Mac couldn’t connect to wifi until I took it out of my room down to the lobby It was clear that management is aware of this problem, staff are frazzled from having to deal with it, and there is no plan to fix it We were told that it is Apple’s fault, not theirs Like other hotels haven’t figured out how to accommodate Macs-checked us into the wrong room-no free breakfast-free morning coffee is always empty with no one around to refillYes it’s clean, and the poor management gives the staff many opportunities to be friendly How is that adding up to an average rating of 46? I am baffled

We used this hotel for our wedding block at the recommendation of our venue Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience hereEverything was fine while we were working with Lisa to get a contract in place

They advised we could start with 20 rooms at no financial obligation and they assured us we could add more as needed We decided to go that routeUnfortunately, once the contract was signed, we were handed off to Tiffany She was extremely curt over email and did not seem to have our best interest in mind We were not notified that the hotel was quickly booking up and our room block filled up and we were left with no rooms to add It would have been appreciated when the hotel was starting to fill up or they realized how many wedding blocks they had that weekend to ask us if we wanted to consider adding more rooms We were left having to explain to guests they needed to find somewhere else to stay and find a way to the venue on their own too, since we couldn’t have our shuttles running all around townIn addition, I requested an upgraded suite for the day of as I had 10 people getting ready the morning of the wedding They asked for my reservation confirmation number and assured me 90 days out that they would book me into a suite When I followed up 90 days out, they told me all the suites were gone and I was basically out of luck?? After explaining that I had 10 people that wouldn’t fit in the room, they offered a meeting room, which I said would work fine Then 2 weeks out from the wedding I emailed to confirm and they informed me I would have to pay $300 for the conference room + order food through the hotel (no outside food?? I have never heard of that being the case in a hotel) Utterly ridiculous so I was then left scrambling last minute to find somewhere else to get ready because that additional cost wasn’t in my budget and I had to re-coordinate all my vendors for the morning of Literally no sympathy from them eitherIn addition, the breakfast was $26/day which is absolutely insane and some of my guests told me it was disgusting The only positive was that the front desk staff was polite and the bar space worked well for an after-partyI would not recommend that you use this hotel for a wedding block at all

Adam S

Front desk was awfully rude when checking in There was an issue not willing at all to help resolve Terrible attitudes

Here for my brother’s wedding, I think we have over 8 rooms for our family in total Lot of money being spent Our room was filthy and there was no hand soap and the shower filled up daily The front desk staff couldn’t care less Just disgust The attitude in this place is absolutely terrible from the front desk to the manager of the bar Never have I ever been so disgusted I know our party was easy 20k spent in a weekend I won’t spend another penny at a Marriot ever Unprofessional Was charged for somebody else’s meal and drinks Confronted the server she was more than rude The bar manager then shut down the bar Telling the drunk crowds of 2 wedding party’s it was my fault the bar had been shut down My mother asked the man his name and he said King Petty You can disrespect me all you want The moment the bar manager acted disgustingly towards my mother That was a wrap Never would I ever recommend this hotel I was never reimbursed for anything Nor did I ask to be We just wanted to leave as soon as possible

Meghan Tharp

We stayed for 2 nights at this Marriot and were totally impressed The entire staff we encountered was absolutely fantastic The best I have ever experienced in any hotel I have gone to

The staff was friendly, went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating in all situations and they did it all with a smile each and every time It wasn’t just one specific person or shift, it was all of them during our stay It was top notch customer service from check in to check outThe hotel itself is nice and very clean! Our room was immaculate when arrived Which was wonderful The last thing you want to have to do when you arrive from a long trip is to clean/wipe down a poorly maintained room There was not one speck of dust anywhere It was great! The room is modern and updated and has a beautiful walk in shower with a sliding glass door There is different lighting options and plenty of outlets and a few USB ports to hold and charge electronics There is decent storage in the room and if you are on a upper level, the views aren’t half badDuring our stay, things were pretty quiet I have seen in other reviews that things were super noisy and I was a little worried about that This was not our personal experience at all and our room was directly next to the elevators While we were in our room, halls were quiet and there weren’t a lot of slamming doors We did occasionally hear people talk but it was usually brief as they were walking to and from their roomsWe dined at Legends pretty much the entire weekend while we were there The food is a bit pricey but there is a lot of it and it was delicious Our waitstaff was great! The burgers were cooked to order, the Boom Boom shrimp was flavorful, my daughter loved the giant pretzel Our waiter accommodated my 10 year old daughter who wanted a salad one night but with alterations to the base salad and it wasn’t even a problem There isn’t a children’s menu, which should be looked at for a future menu addition, even if it’s 2 or 3 choices There were several children in the hotel and we saw them dining in the restaurant as well so I am sure other parents were thinking the same thingWe used the pool/hot tub while we were there The pool area was clean and had fully stocked towels and several seating options I noticed there is a outdoor space (for warmer weather) to sunbathe on The hot tub was pretty much the only negative to our trip I was looking forward to sitting in a nice relaxing hot tub to sooth sore muscles but the water was not hot at all It was lukewarm at best There should be a timed heating option on the hot tub Similar to turning on the jets I was disappointed but it wasn’t a deal breaker and the positives of this Marriot definitely surpassed any minor negativesOverall our stay was enjoyable and a positive one We would stay at this Marriot again and also recommend it to friends and family who may travel to this area Kudos to the entire staff!

This cute 4 room Bed and Breakfast is locate very close to Main St in Manayunk where there are plenty of restaurants, shops and bars The room was very comfortable and clean and unique Mark was a great host, starting with confirmation of when we would check in, advising us on parking (which can be tough but I found a space close by), organizing breakfast time and showing us all the amenities that the Manayunk Chamber House had to offer

Pack light as this Guest House is in an older house with a narrow staircase and the rooms split between the second and third floors I would stay here again as the personal touch of good innkeepers beats the large format hotels

Tom Kissel

The Manayunk Chambers Guest House is a beautifully restored old house (check out the scrapbook in the main room) situated in the hills of Manayunk Our host, Mark, greeted us and filled us in on the history of the house and the local area We booked the City Room on the second floor, which is extremely comfortable, with a king cushy bed, seating, and its own separate bathroom with a shower and a soaking tub

There are no TVs or children, which was fine by us – on our 30th Anniversary, we appreciate peace and quiet The neighborhood is relatively quiet, as well I can’t say enough about the breakfasts! Mark is a former baker, and he still keeps his oven busy Each day we had an assortment of croissants, scones, and muffins, along with unlimited coffee and tea First day was a bowl of beautifully presented fruit, nuts and whipped cream, and next day was a fruit crepe – delicious! Mark is quite a conversationalist, and the breakfast chatter was very much appreciated I don’t think he could have done anything else to make our stay wonderful When in Manayunk, please consider the Manayunk Chambers Guest House!

Syeda

A bed and breakfast is only as great as it’s host and Mark is incredible! My partner and I had an amazing new years weekend at the Manayunk Chambers Guest house We love getting away from NYC especially on busy weekends such as new years The bed and breakfast is very beautiful and the ambience was calm and classy from the piano playing in the main room to the lovely dim lighting and stain glass lamps all over the house

There are three floors with guest rooms in each floor The rooms are all very beautifully designed and perfect for couples The bed in the Suite Heart room was super comfortable We were able to sleep in and have a wonderful European continental breakfast in the morning Mark’s homemade pastries are absolutely delicious! He is a wonderful host who provides anything you need The main room has wine, beer, water, coffees, cappuccinos snacks and even games for guests One thing to note is the parking in the area is very difficult due to the tight roads and the blocks are hill like so youll definitely get a work out each time you plan to go out The area down the block has a lot of different restaurants and shops and were beautifully decorated with lights for the holiday season Nearby there’s also many hiking trails that are worth visiting especially if you’re in the area for the fall We will definitely be returning soon!

Lester Schermerhorn

This review is given two stars, but could have easily been 4 or 5 The good…the hotel seems very nice and is very clean Breakfast area was done nicely and pretty decent food

The bad…service, service, service Party of 3 checked in All parties on the reservation Only towels for two in the room 30 mins after call, we get another towel Next morning, we leave the hotel easily by 09:30am Come back in evening and room service has not been through So now, damp towels from before Unmade beds No coffee for room in morning Too exhausted to have crew come through, who knows how long it would take This building has a lot of potential, gotta get better management/staff

Jeana Schreiber

Beautiful fixtures and modern interior Bed was comfortableWould have given it 5 stars except a lot went wrong

1 There’s only one elevator in the building and upwards of 7 weddings in a weekend This makes it difficult for people to get to and from their rooms to the different amenities2 Door keys don’t work well One room you could get into the room using the digital key, but not the key cards The opposite was the issue in our other room3 Showers leaked all over the floor When showering the water would pool on the bathroom floor and soaked through the towels and other things4 Usually hotels give four towels for a standard room We were given three

Julia Sanders

I recently visited this location as a bridal hairstylist vendor I met my clients in one of their Bridal Suites The lovely lady at the front desk walked me to the elevators, which I thought was very personable as well as helpful to the bridal party

The room was very well lit and had more than enough space to move around comfortably I was able to find parking in the front, which made carrying my bags in very easy

My Mom recently stayed at The Radnor Hotel and she wanted to share her amazing experience:All I can say is WOW! I have traveled far and wide within and outside US and have usually stayed at big chain hotels for consistency of service I had to go to Philadelphia every month for my moms doctors appointment We tried big chains in the area for a couple of times and were very disappointed

And than we tried Radnor hotel! A hidden gem! The considerate and quality of personalized service, the consistency, attention to detail, and I can go on and on I am very impressed and pleased with my experience and will return again and again for my moms treatment

Victoria Shieler

We decided to book a block of rooms at the Radnor Hotel for our wedding in May Leading up to our wedding day, we were in communication with a few people and everyone was friendly and helpful I will point out though that there were long periods of time when we didn’t get a response within 24-48 hours

A few days before our check in date, our guests who were staying over as well as us received an email basically telling everyone the “rules” stating the quiet hours policy We heard feedback from some of our guests that they have never received an email like this from any hotel and they were a little taken back to be honest The hotel and rooms were clean and simple but nothing special for the rate you are paying The morning of my wedding day, the bridal party wanted to get breakfast at the breakfast buffet Upon checking in, we received rude service from the host and they were being so nit picky about who is staying in which room when my husband and I stated at check in that everyone who is apart of our wedding block should be put under our tab When we sat down to eat, we decided to combine two square dining tables since there were 10 of us total It’s important to note that we were the only ones dining The next morning, we went again to the breakfast buffet and noticed that they placed signage up stating to NOT move or combine the tables It felt so passive aggressive and snobby I do want to point out that the food was delicious and had a wide variety of options We also ran into some issues with some of our party not being able to book a room after our block closed There were still rooms available but they would not let them book unless they stayed for two nights I don’t understand why a hotel would turn away someone who is literally willing to pay the FULL PRICE for a room when it was probably empty Again, rude and frustrating We were also extremely disappointed to find out that their bar closed at 11pm My husband and I were willing to pay extra and guarantee at least 20 people for drinks and appetizers after our wedding for an after party Again, turned away and made us feel like we were asking for too much when in fact this is a very popular Overall, if you are getting married in the Radnor area, then this is the most convenient location since it was literally a 3 minute drive from our venue but other than that, I would recommend looking elsewhere If you and your party want to further the celebration after a wedding, don’t book here It’s a buzzkill to be honest And the cherry on top of everything was the service We literally felt like an inconvenience and the staff was snobby and rude I do not recommend staying here and we will not be back

Esther Weil

The rooms are dated (if that’s important to you), but mostly my concern is carpet which was very dated and felt dirty (i didn’t get close enough to thoroughly inspect, just wear your flip flops and it’s fine) The AC and fridge were both pretty loud but just white noise so that didn’t bother us too muchFront desk people were all very nice and answered any questions we had

Pool looked clean but we didn’t get a chance to use it Breakfast room is small (i guess not everyone eats their free breakfast)Neighborhood: i mean the mall is in view which also means lots of restaurants and next door is dominoes which for us was a great option for a late dinner Not a great place to walk around since you’re surrounded by main roads but we managed a stroll and it felt pretty safe

This hotel was actually so awful I came here on a school trip and we got our room and it wasn’t cleaned since the last stay, my classmates rooms weren’t cleaned either The beds were messy and the bathroom was gross

We ended up getting new rooms and the sheets didn’t fit the bed The toilet wouldn’t flush and numerous other rooms had plumbing issues too The downstairs wasn’t being used because there was water damage in the basement There weren’t many breakfast options either The bedding was practically just sheets, it gave off creepy vibes and a 13 year old was hit on by another person staying here The only reason I’m putting 2 stars and not one is because the pool was great, and the outside was pretty cool I do NOT recommend!!!

Great location Outdated decor/ rooms Extremely dirty pool with no running filter and hardly any chlorine

Friendly employees Front desk does not answer the phones though Breakfast was very simple So not try the Blueberry waffle mix, it’s awful Bed was comfortable Rooms did not receive service Stains on shear curtains No dark curtains to block out lightThere are other hotels in the same area that are probably much better

Nice hotel I feel like “The Alloy” focused their expenses and updates on the lobby/ dining area (which to be fair is beautiful) The rooms are nice as well with newer furnishings, but don’t quite match the elegance of the main entrance

Staff was very friendly and helpfulMy room was equipped with a mini fridge (which was great) However, the bathroom did not have a fan, which led to cloudy mirrors after showering I could sometimes hear other guests through the walls (but it was not overly bothersome)Parking was manageable There are many restaurants, coffee, and grocery stores nearby You cannot hear any highway noise from inside the rooms

Beautifully remodeled hotel All the main areas, including rooms, had updated features and decor Note, that the only “outdated” area, IMO, was the bathroom – however still very nice and spacious

We received a warm cookie at check in, which we enjoyed in one of their outside seating areas, with the most comfortable couches The fully-stocked bar area had plenty of seating for drinking or collaborating with colleagues The best part was the gym It had all the needed machines and weights to have a fairly good workout They even have an area with ear phones in case you forgot your own All the machines seemed new, with TV workout interactions It’s one of the better hotels we’ve stayed on our work trip in Philly

This will be my second time coming to The Alloy, and it didn’t disappoint The staff upon check-in were amazing, beautiful, helpful, warm, and welcoming The Hotel itself, sets very elegantly on the property

The general entrance / commons, bar, and restaurant areas are so well-kept and look great The rooms are spacious, clean, updated, and comfortable I really have no complaints for The Alloy on this stay It was pleasant, and close to everything I needed to get to All major retail, and entertainment are within seconds, to a few minutes from the property I have now made this place a permanent consideration, for future leisure or business stops in the KOP area

I work up the street twice a week but live about an hour and a half away So on occasions, I have to be there more frequently and I don’t want to drive back and forth!! Every time I’ve checked in, Katie from the front desk recognizes me and asks how I’m doing!! Makes me feel great!!Excellent staff Comfortable rooms

Enjoyable stays each and every time!!

I would gave this place even a lower rating We hosted our big Indian wedding at this venue and it has been a terrible experience All our other vendors were amazing but this place was the worst

From the management to the front desk associate treated us in a disrespect and racist manner Biggest turnover with employees as well In the spam of 5 months, everyone was different including the management AC was not working for 2 days which they couldn’t seem to fix in all sleeping rooms The staff is not trained in hospitality service with their rude behavior If you are planning your big wedding then please think ten times before going with the management here They couldn’t refill even the basic necessity like water for our event There has been no change in action with complaints to the Sheraton from the management

Really nice hotel, the room was nice and fairly spacious, bathroom was very big However the water was ice cold, hot water took a very long time to kick in The heat was also not working well we came in exhausted from being on the road the room was freezing when we walked in and the thermostat was on 72

I kicked it up a few degrees, took a shower, still the vent blowing ice cold air, kicked it up a few more degrees and passed out Woke up a couple hours later and it was still freezing I literally had to kick this thing up to 84 degrees to actually feel some heat coming out Then it was like a sauna It definitely put a damper on my stay I wouldn’t expect that from a new hotel especially one of this caliber and $200 a night That’s something you would expect in a roadside dump

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
