  • It was cheap!
  • There was no central air. Very old-fashioned. The toilet was broken and was flushing all day and night. No one came to fix it.

“The room had the old-fashioned heater/AC turn on and off at the window. No central air...not a good idea for the weather in Philly...Also, the personnel were not so friendly and helpful.”

  • Parking lot on site and
    quiet interior.

“It's a well run establishment with many markings of a luxury hotel, including the lobby and the professionalism of the staff. Well located next to all historic sites and within walking distance of the convention center, yet also a quiet, peaceful location, away from the commotion of a city center.”

  • The location was convenient for the event I attended. The rooms were comfortable and relatively clean. Most staff were helpful and friendly.
  • The floor was not vacuumed when I checked into the motel. One of the front desk personnel was not friendly.

“Overall, the motel was comfortable and clean. Most staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay at the Holiday Inn in the historic district again.”

  • This hotel is a very shot walk to most attractions.
  • Parking fee.

“This hotel is in the middle of all the historical sites. It was so convenient. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant and also in the bar was very good. The pool was not open yet so we didn't see that. Our room was clean, the shower was hot. We had clean towels each day. I would recommend this hotel.”

  • The room was clean.
  • Dirty carpets.

“For someone looking for a place to sleep, and nothing more, this hotel would satisfy expectations.”

  • Clean, great location.
  • Really really loud. Loud banging sound (apparently broken heat) kept me up all night. Also street traffic, paper thin walls. Barely slept at all.

“Overall, we had a really bad experience and barely slept at all. There was a loud banging sound vibrating through the floor (apparently they were having a problem with the heat and couldn't fix it until the morning). We had to switch rooms at 2:30 in the morning and even then could still hear it. The walls are very thin, and you can very clearly hear people in the room next to you. On a positive note, the hotel is ideally located if you are visiting the historic sites in Philly and the hotel is very clean and nicely appointed for a Holiday Inn.”

  • It was convenient. It was fine for my business travel needs.
  • It is an older hotel, while they have tried to update some things are worn. Carpeting needed replacement in the room.

“I would stay here again. Great for business location and amenities.”

  • Location.
  • Paper thin walls.

“Great location and proximity to sights but noisy, paper thin walls did not provide a good nights sleep.”

  • Good location; reliable chain.
  • Older.

“The restaurant was only adequate but the location was great so there were many other options. A wide variety of guests. Great to have the flexibility of leaving the parking garage as many times as we wanted. The 8:30 am Sunday morning evacuation was not much fun.

  • The location was really great and close to everything in Old City.
  • Everything else.

“We were given what was probably the worst room in the whole hotel. I would have thought that they'd been saving these rooms for those who need. We were next to the storage room used by housekeeping, and it's lights were on 24 hours a day. It came right in our room and there was little we could do to block it. We were also right under the fitness center. So we heard people thumping away on the treadmill first thing in the morning and weights being dropped on the floor. The room was musty and damp. The air conditioner pumped out mustier air and didn't do anything about the dampness. The bathroom ventilation didn't work. If quality is found in the details, then this place is very low quality. Almost any time you looked at a detail, it was deficient. From the paint job in the room to the security on the door. The customer service was below standard as well. They messed up our room keys so I had to get them redone. They messed up the parking pass so that it charged us twice. Our room didn't have a remote control for the TV. I could go on and on. In the end, when my wife and I checked out, they didn't even ask how our stay was. I don't think they really cared. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.”

  • Location is great.
  • Food and service was unacceptable.

“Location of the hotel was great. Rooms are alright but the maid service was non-existent. It took us 45 minutes to get part of our order and that was not right. We waited another 15 minutes for a condiment and then left without eating. Front staff was pleasant but did not compensate for the lack of services.”
