“The Marriott is a perfectly acceptable hotel if you are looking for continence and general cleanliness, and proximity to Center City. The downsides, to me personally, are: it's big. it has a huge and outrageously loud lobby, it's all tile and the sound echoes because there are so many people hanging out in the lobby. There seem to be a number of conventions and the hotel parking lot was full when we checked in. I much prefer a boutique hotel that is small and caters to an audience with a stylish aesthetic. I prefer a modern decor rather than the traditional and conservative decor of the Marriott. But a quick one night visit for business or even a quick leisure visit for 1 or 2 nights the Marriott is perfect.”

“The hotel stay was great! The room was comfortable and the room service was prompt and efficient. However, I cannot stress this enough, the parking options are horrible! If you drive be prepared to pay in excess of $40.00 per day for valet parking, and $30.00 per day for self parking! This is absolutely insane!”

“Initially upon arriving to the hotel I was shocked at how great the location was. I was even more impressed when I walked into the lobby and saw how nice everything looked. I loved every minute of it. The hospitality of the staff was stellar. The cleanliness of the room was superb. I would be so lucky to get a deal like this again.”

“The staff was curt and short in there responses. The Marriott offered us parking at a rate of $47.00 per night! I was forced to seek alternative parking on my own for $30.00 per day. I was very disappointed to have to pay for parking. Robbery! The hotel was in a good location and clean.”

“The hotel was comfortable, but with a four star rating I was expecting more from the staff. Never did we get assistance from Bellmen or doormen. We actually had to assist an elderly women w/luggage because there was no one around. The initial room clean left a little to be desired. But the room was comfortable. I would recommend to others.”

“Very comfortable room and very clean. Their is a Starbucks in the premise, but the breakfast options are not many, and a bit expensive in one of the hotel restaurants. But, because the hotel is so close to the market, my second night I ate at the diner there for less and much better food. The hotel parking fee is pretty expensive ($41), but there is a parking garage right in front of it, I paid $30, still expensive, but better. What I was not very happy is that the hotel doesn't have free Internet access, you have to pay $9.99 for every night you use it. There is wireless access in the Starbucks, but you have to be a T-mobile costumer.”

“Incredibly crowded, noisy, chaotic lobby due to conventions (the weekend prior to the PA primary). Polite helpful desk clerk. Perfectly comfortable room. Didn't sample bars or restaurants so no comment on those. Did buy coffee at the lobby Starbucks as we left on Sunday at around 11 a.m. Huge, long lines, very long waits. Polite staff working as hard & fast as possible, but understaffed.”

“Good for basic traveler's needs; has all the required amenities and services, however, not as luxurious as we expected small room, blocked view from the window, noisy A/C.”

“Would have been relatively family friendly if an actual restaurant would have been open. Also, no mini bar! I was totally shocked. And had no place to put my child's snacks.”

“I would highly recommend this hotel to business and leisure travelers. It is centrally located near public transportation and within walking distance of many attractions, retail stores and restaurants. The staff could not be nicer. The room was very quiet. It was nicely decorated and very clean.”

“As is so often the case with large Marriott convention hotels, this one lacked personality. The staff varied from wonderful (the parking valets) to sneering and indifferent (check-in front desk personnel). The room was surprisingly un-soundproofed, with the sound of showering in other rooms coming through the walls. No free wireless in the room is ridiculous in this day and age.”

“If you drive to the Downtown Philadelphia Marriott, save time and money by parking at one of the nearby city garages rather than fighting the congestion at the hotel entrance to use the overpriced valet parking service. Public transportation and sightseeing busses are within a few steps of the hotel entrance. This is a centrally located, big, busy hotel that is adjacent to the Philadelphia Convention Center and across the street from the Reading Terminal Market.”
