“Best Western Center City is in an ideal location for touring the Museum District of Philadelphia. We found we could walk to many of the attractions. The area is quiet and we felt safe there.”

• Perfect location!
• Fitness center equipment needs to be updated.

“70s style hotel in a perfect location for Museum goers. Within 1 block of the Rodin Museum, Within 3 blocks of the Franklin Institute, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Eastern State Pennitentiary. Not a fancy hotel, but perfect for casual traveler or the business traveler.”

• It's location is great, they do not charge for parking and cab service is always available
• Needs updating (which I think they are beginning to do)

“This hotel is perfect for our needs. It is close to business for my husband while the children and I sight see. They allow us to leave the car after we have checked out which is a great bonus. The dining is O.K. Quick access to all sights and affordable.”

• The hotel was in a good location for us to visit the main attractions in Philadelphia, and they did not charge us to park our car.
• The hotel was under renovation and definitely needs it.

“This hotel was good for a one night stay. It was your basic economy hotel, nothing elaborate. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions. They did not charge for parking which was a nice savings. The restaurant was ok, again fine for a basic hotel.”

• Nothing.
• The hotel allows dogs in rooms, and allows them to bark all day and night.

“This was the most overpriced, run-down and antiquated hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff was rude, and exhibited no concern for my comfort. There is a bar on the ground level that caters to local alcoholics, drug addicts, and panhandlers. The facility is unsafe and certainly not the type of accommodations a family or solo female business traveler would want to stay at. To characterize my stay - horrific and frightening topped with extended sleep depravation.”

• Nice sized room.
• Plumbing issues in TWO rooms; rather run-down; staff not very helpful.

“Hotel has seen better days; not very convenient to historic/tourist sites. Staff not particularly welcoming. Mechanical and plumbing in both rooms we rented (toilet kept plugging and AC not cooling in room #1; shower wouldn't drain in room #2). They gave us a key to a third room so we could shower.”

• Close to the big bus route. Nearby 24/7.
• Could hear every noise slamming doors.

“Nice hotel. Room was fine. Location great. Staff very helpful. Rooms were not very soundproof. Gift shop never open. Breakfast buffet boring. I liked that the parking lot was easy to get into and out of. I would probably use this hotel again if I come to Philadelphia”

• Convenient location.
• Too much noise and not the cleanest hotel outside of the rooms.

“An ok place if you get a good deal. Not worth spending more than a 100 bucks a night.”
