Perfect Stay.

This was easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Stayed in the city for Made in America festival, was in perfect walking distance. Very, very clean hotel. Beautiful balcony overlooking the city. Not a single complaint.

Windsor very pleasant

Clean and comfortable. Very roomy room. Large bathroom and large suite with kitchenette. The staff was excellent. Helpful and very friendly and courteous (and dare I say? ...and American-born.) With 2-or-more nights pricing, very nice. Located next to Embassy Suites and Four Seasons where they were likely paying twice as much, Windsor Suites satisfied me. Mace's Crossing Pub just west is intimate and friendly. A Starbucks is east around the corner. Close to Basilica, Free Library and Franklin Institute. Easy walk to Phillie Museum of Art, city center. Good walking city.

Nice home away from home

I had a very great experience at this hotel I got the one bedroom, two bed suite. the closets were very spacious as well as the room! The room did feel much like a hotel at all it felt more like an apartment which i loved because it gave it a more home like feeling , the hotel is in center city where all the excitement happens, the front desk people weren't super friendly or anything but they all still did a great job.

gutes Hotel in ausgezeichneter Lage

Das Hotel liegt in ausgezeichneter Lage, alles ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und großzügig eingerichtet. Das Personal war freundlich. Fazit: unsere Empfehlung für alle die zum attraktivem Preis, direkt in Philadelphia alles zu Fuß erkunden und dabei auf keinen Komfort verzichten möchten.

Das Hotel ist echt klasse für den Preis. Negativ war nur, dass der Pool nicht so sauber war. Ansonsten waren wir voll zufrieden. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Questo hotel è stato stupendo

Questo hotel è stato stupendo a dir poco!!! A parte che ci aspettavamo una camera, come tutti gli hotel, ma invece è un appartamento con tanto di cucina, balcone e ripostigli (una marea di stanzini) ma anche molto utile perché c'è la la lavanderia con tanto di detersivo in camera, lavatrice e asciugatrice che sono state comodissime! La posizione è ottima...ci è piaciuto molto, sicuramente da ritornare, sono stati anche gentili come personale e nel lasciarci lì la macchina mentre continuavamo il giro per la città!!
