Great location

We stayed two weeknights for part of a family sight-seeing trip. The hotel is in a great location for walking to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and some other historic spots—it is right across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution. The area felt safe and the building is just gorgeous. We didn’t love the parking situation in a garage a block and a half away. Our room was on the smaller side, but the crazy high ceilings made it feel much bigger. The beds were comfortable and the space was very clean. The water pressure was bad, but I guess that’s to be expected in an old building. The kids loved the free hot chocolate and cookies in the evenings and the liberty bell waffles in the mornings. The breakfast was otherwise pretty standard. Not a huge variety, but enough. Overall we would stay again.

Great Stay with a Perfect Location!

Great Stay with a Perfect Location! We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable—within walking distance to nearly all of the national park, which made exploring super easy. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants right on the street, so we never had to go far for a good meal. Breakfast being included was a huge bonus, and our kids especially loved the cookies and hot cocoa in the evenings! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable for our family of four. We stayed in a king-size room with a sofa bed, and it provided plenty of space for everyone. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Charming hotel in Old City

My anniversary is on Valentine's Day, which, this year was a long weekend with President's Day on Monday. The location of this hotel was perfect for a winter weekend trip to Philadelphia -- we loved being across from the American Revolutionary Museum, cookie hour, hot chocolate and warm inviting atmosphere at Independence Park Hotel. Great breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

Easy load in area to check in to property in front of the hotel and easy directions to reaching adjacent parking garage. It is a one time $28 parking fee but it is in and out privileges and worth it vs. finding parking on your own if you have a car. Quiet and comfy bed, a very charming Old City hotel in Philly. Exactly what we wanted! Walkable to everything and much cleaner and exciting vs. Center City.
