Girls weekend in Philly
The location was great. Only 2 miles from the train station and walking distance to most attractions. The staff was awesome. The beds we had were older box springs and mattresses comfy but not plush. The room was very clean. I do not recommend eating at the hotel pub.

Nice little weekender
The restaurant downstairs was a great pub atmosphere. Loved the idea of operating the elevators with your room card! Checking in however, I was told my room was in "cleaning status" and wasn't ready yet; problem was, I checked in at 5:30 and check-in time starts at 4pm, so I was upset that 1.5 hrs after check-in time, my room still wasn't ready!

Short walk from hotel
There are at least 10 dance clubs within walking distance from the hotel, something for everyone no matter your tastes.

Great Location
We had a lovely time at the Crowne Plaza. When we checked in, the staff was very friendly and accomodating. The king suite room we booked was a lot smaller than we thought. Other than that, it was a great stay and perfect location to roam the streets of Philly.

Not a Bad place to stay
The room was clean and comfortable, It was a little far from the downtown philadelphia attractions such as the Liberty Bell, but there were busses nearby that could take you down there. It was also within a short walk of the subway. If you wanted to use it to get to other parts of Philly.

Came for the run stayed for the fun
I came to town for the Rock n Roll marathon and have never been to philly. The room service was substandard one of the times we ordered it but the staff was very quick to apologize and they comped us that days room service and another days breakfast so overall I was happy. The gym is nice enough and compared to some of the other hotels in the area the interior and rooms are very nice.

excellent place to stay
I enjoyed very much my short stay in this place although I had a little incident during the early morning hours caused by a false fire alarm that didn't allow me to rest as I wanted. The rest is fine.
