Lively, hip place to stay

Great room. Ultra modern. Mini fridge, not a mini bar. I was in town for multiple graduations, so the airport seemed the easiest way to get where I needed to be. The hotel is right off the highway that goes by the airport. I was charged an addi $7. for overnight parking. There are no restaurants or breakfast places nearby which is a bit inconvenient.

The hotel was very clean, staff was very friendly. I think this hotel was much better than the other hotels I stayed at near by ( south of the airport )

Visual Sensory Delight.

The look of the Hotel was wonderful and the staff was so friendly; the only downside was that they didn't clean the room after the first day or provide a fresh towel service. Apparently the hotel was having staff issues that weekend, so they told me and I had to go down to the front desk to get towels, coffee, etc.

Delays, Delays

Hotel was great. Flight in was great. Flight out was a nightmare!! US Air cancelled and delayed and I missed my connection due to USair. What was going to be a one hour flight home became a 10 hour trip home. Don't know If I will be flying USair out of Philly again.

Unbeatable location for the price

The employees were so helpful and very professional. The entire hotel was very clean and the bathroom facility within our room was fantastic. I would highly recommend Aloft to anyone traveling to Philadelphia and will definitely stay there again. Rose Flynn

Aloft Philly Airport

Very convenient layover hotel with timely shuttle service to and from airport. Surprisingly cool vibe and active scene at the lobby bar and living room even late on a Wednesday night. You can tell this is a cousin to the W chain

business trip. Personnel were great- friendly and helpful and I felt comfortable there. Lobby music was too loud at one point when meeting with a client, but that was the only issue. Room was what I like- no fluff, but everything I need and comfortable.
