Wonderful experience!
We had a weekend special which included accomodations on the 30th floor -What a view of the city! All the staff were friendly and helpful. All the facilities we used at the hotel were top notch. We attended an event at the convention center, so the location across the street was super convenient. And walking to other local attractions & restaurants is easy. Only complaint is that the hot water in the room was not hot enough. Would stay again!!!!

Good service but..
great check-in, great gym, nice doormen...I came in the evening and thought I was technically challenged and could not work the tv so I just went ahead to sleep but when I woke up in the morning I investigated the older LG tv and called the concierge. The tv was dead. It took a few hours to replace it. I think that was odd that no one reported the broken set. And no one checked that all furnishings were operable.and the tv wasn't a flat screen.

Don't make phone calls from there!
I've got a horrible surprise when I ckecked out! The hotel wanted to charge me $ 300 for international phone calls. Although those calls tend to be expensive, this was way too much for the time I spent talking on the phone! I had an argument with the clerk, and my bill was cut by half. After all, it was a phone call, not a bottle of fine wine!

Careful about room location
Our room was located about 10 ft from the elevators on the 12th floor. Needless to say it was noisy late night and early morning. Not a good spot for a room.

Great location, great service we will definately book Loews again
What a great stay !!! From the time we arrived to the time we left we can't say enough about how we were treated and all our needs accommodated. Even during the hurricane the staff didn't miss a beat. There is no doubt that we will return either here or at another Loews Hotel. What a friendly staff they have as well as the best location in Philly. It is was worth the extra few dollars to stay here as well as booking the corner luxury king size room. We were upgraded upon arrival to the club level, even though they had a huge convention and even bigger wedding in house. We were celebrating a birthday and this was an unexpected "gift". If I had to give the hotel one opportunity to work on, it would be to upgrade/refresh some of the public space /room furnishings. It wasn't bad, just a little tired in some areas...probably because of the popularity and the huge occupancy this place runs...things get used, which is understandable. Thank you so much to the Loews staff and management for a great long weekend. Maybe next time ....no hurricane please. (kidding) !!!! :-)

Hurricane Irene
We had to evacuate the Jersey Shore due to Hurricane Irene. We needed a place to stay that was pet friendly and something that would not break the bank, not always so easy to find. Loews Hotel's pet deposit was reasonable, they gave us a "goody bag" for our pets, and the room and staff were excellent. We will definitely be back - hopefully not due to a mandatory evacuation!
