Excellent location for the price

Very accomodating staff. Food was available for later arriving customers (after midnight) at reasonable prices. As Marriott members we felt welcome.

Close to all the sights in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Trolley Works was stationed right on hotel site and this is a great way to get your bearings and see the city sights efficiently. Be sure to add the Philadelphia Pass to your trip package as this is a cheaper way to visit different houses, museums and rides. The concierge was most knowledgeable and very helpful in making plans on what to see first. We did have to keep asking for additional towels as there were 3 of us and they kept leaving enough for 2 people. The room looked over another roof top but we were there to see the sights in Philadelphia and this did not bother us. There were enough elevators to accommodate large crowds. The airline reservations worked perfectly with no delays! Great trip!!

Don't miss Ride the Ducks, the Eastern States Penitentiary, the Masonic Lodge and Old City Hall Tour to the top of Ben Franklin's 37 foot statue...this tour is only at 12:30 p.m. each day.

beautiful hotel...no hot tub??

the hotel itself was great...very beautiful, clean, and super friendly and helpful staff. i was disappointed that after a very long day traveling from texas to philadelphia there was no hot tub to get in and relax!! i definitely expected that for the price and the type of hotel. we also had a problem with valet losing our keys and taking approximately 15-20 minutes to find them and return our car to us while we were waiting to get back to the airport! luckily, we woke up in enough time to compensate for that!! overall, a great hotel and i would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful view from corner window!.

We came to Philadelphia mainly to see Billy Crystal's "700 Sundays". We decided to try a Sunday matinee this time, but arrived on Saturday so we could enjoy the downtown area and then go to dinner. Our room on the 14th floor was a lovely surprise. It was a corner room with a fantastic view. It was quiet, clean and relaxing. Thank you!

The hotel is literally 1/2 block from the second largest covered market in the country. You can find various kinds of food and other items in this market. In addition, there are many other restaurants located in the area.
