Honestly

The walls are so thin that u can almost hear everything! from other rooms. You can't have internet access in some of their rooms and you may need to go and sit in the lobby or basement. Prices and location are great. You can walk to everywhere in 5-10 minutes and there is a parking area just behin the hotel(about twenty box/nite). You can't compare the cleaning with a 3-4 stars hotel, it is OK for a couple w/o children. It is very close to Chinatown and just behind the convention center. Go and have you breakfast outside the hotel. It's a good place for one night.

Smelliest Night of My Life

The Travelodge on Race Street in Philadelphia may have a convenient location, but the rooms were smelly, the beds were hard as rock, and the manager was surly. The manager was rude and unhelpful. Our room had no window that opened to the outside, so we couldn't even air it out! Very disappointing experience :(

Didnt like it

Room was very small. Sink was in the room beside the bed instead of being in the bathroom. There was no window. OK for one person one night stay for businessman.

Comfortable and Friendly

The Philadelphia Travelodge was very comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of items for the continental breakfast. There was quite a bit of construction going on in the neighborhood because the hotel was just behind the convention center and that was being expanded. But the construction really didn't cause any problem. The hotel was within three blocks or so of a train station which made for ease of travel to and from the airport, and was also within easy walking distance of several historical sites and restaurants. The only negative might be that the hallways and rooms could be spruced up a bit, e.g., carpets, bathroom grout, etc. All in all we had a very positive experience there.

Poor Location

The hotel was adequate for a nights stay but had no resturant and the staff was unable to give me any directions for a bite to eat. The rooms were clean and provided the necessities. The location although close to the convention center would not be a place you would want to venture out at night by yourself.

Great location

The hotel location is near Chinatown and near the Convention Center. Its all walking distance from the hotel to all directions-subway, Liberty Bell, Reading Market and others. Hotel room is big and clean. Good value for the money.

Close to everything

The Philadelphia Travelodge was pretty basic, but close to the Convention Center and the historic district. I would recommend it for the budget conscious visitor to Center City Philadelphia.
