• Dirty, nasty, smelly, and horrible.

“The hotel was dirty. The maid did not clean our room properly. We were not able to get our two double beds. The halls smelled like smoke and urine. Would not recommend this hotel at all.”

• It is a newer Holiday Inn.
• It is out where there is nothing to do, but sports is close.

“Hotel is newer. If you wish to be close to the baseball, football or horse racing then your there! The restaurant is called Benny and the Bums. It is a sports style place and the sound is loud. Food is about 8 out of a possible 10. Service is fine. The room is Holiday plain as they all are. It is better than an old one though.”

• Convenient to Italian In-Laws.
• Restaurant did not open until 7:00 AM.

“Holiday Inns, I feel, should all be 2 to 2.5 stars. I would put Hyatt on the high end and Holiday Inn on the bottom of the 3's. In my opinion, Holiday Inns should all be 2's or 2.5's at the most.”

• Lunch at the restaurant.
• Smoke filled room, rude front desk clerks.

“The room was not ready for hours & the staff kept telling us to return in an hour. Then the room (a non-smoking room) was filled with smoke--nothing was done about this the entire stay. The staff locked us out of our room every night and did not apologize when they re-keyed our cards. I have to commend the bell staff--they were most helpful--getting us cabs, storing our luggage and taking us to the airport with the utmost kindness and cheerfulness--not at all like most service people in Philadelphia! I hope I never have to come back to the city of brotherly love not again!”

• Our room was not made up even at 4:00 p.m. and when.

“I asked housekeeping to clean up the room when my wife was finished with her nap (at five) they told me there was no staff to do that. Inquired as to why it had not been done between ten and four when we returned. No response. I asked for a change of towels, however.”

• Rooms seemed cheap and carpets dirty.

“The hotel was a bit far away from the airport for an airport hotel. It felt like it was in a bad neighborhood. It seemed old. The carpeting was dirty. It was ok for a late night arrival and early morning departure, but not for a longer stay.”

• The reception staff were professional and helpful.
• Dirty carpeting, hotel is in need of renovations/updating.

“Stayed overnight for the convenience of getting to the airport in the morning. It was sufficient for this purpose. Free parking was a plus. Restaurant played loud music, for whom? There were very few people in the dining area at 10 p.m. and it was not a weekend so who were they playing loud music for themselves? We waited 10 minutes for service then got up and ordered out from a Chinese restaurant.”

• Excellent Restaurant, great local fare.
• The shuttle does not run before 6 AM.

“The hotel is very business friendly with a great restaurant (Benny the Bum's). My only complaint was when I call the hotel from the airport hotel directory (at the airport), I was told that the shuttle doesn't pick up guests at the airport unless you are part of a flight crew. I then found out that the shuttle does not start until 6 AM. This is totally unacceptable for a hotel especially since they are on the directory with the direct phone at the airport. If you plan on staying at this hotel, plan on taking a cab from the airport and then to the airport if you have an early flight.”

• It was perfect for what I needed. Entertainment, store, restaurant.
• Room service was not available Saturday. My $35.00 meal out of Styrofoam from the hotel restaurant was disappointing.

• Too far from airport to be considered an airport hotel--also, the bathroom had floor stains and cigarette burns on the tub (in this non smoking room).

“A good location only if you plan to attend a sporting event in the very close by arenas. The hotel was about 8 miles from the airport-- too far to be an "airport hotel selection." The room was clean but the bathroom was less than great--they had to replace the shower head which sprayed all over the bathroom/there were cigarette burns along the edges of the tub (this was a non smoking room).”

• Lobby, location and public areas very clean and attractive.
• Rooms had heavy odor of floral room freshener. Beds not very comfortable. Bathroom dirty and in poor condition.

“The first room I was checked into had a heavy odor of room freshener - almost to a gag level amount. Also, TV did not work. Changed to a different room and it was about the same from an amenity standpoint and smell. Floor was dirty in bathroom in second room - like it was mopped in a hurry with a dirty mop. Staff was friendly and accommodating in room change. Overall, this was more like a motel you would stop at along the interstate on a cross country road trip. Place is worn and in need of an upgrade in the guest room department. I would really rather not stay at this hotel again if given a choice.”

• Waited over one hour for the shuttle.

“While the hotel was clean and met the standard of a 2.5-star, the service was horrible. I waited one hour and 15 minutes for the shuttle. I called after 30 minutes and they had forgotten about me - said it would be another 10 minutes, but was in fact 45 minutes until I stopped the shuttle - he would not have stopped.”

“The hotel had a large parking lot, vast open area guest waiting area, elevators, one of which was inoperable since October I was told. Rooms were good, nice hot water for showers, if facing downtown the view was fantastic. Being in South Philadelphia, made me think of Band of Brothers and SSG Guernere.”

“I wanted a hotel closer the airport. This hotel should be classified as a Philadelphia hotel and not with the airport hotels. One elevator didn't work and I had to use the service elevator.

“I arrived in my room and found that the iron left stains on my shirt, the toilet was wobbly and the shower knob (1) was broken and I was left to shower in what felt like 12 degree water. The hotel's response. "Well put you in another room when you return - we'll not it on your account". I returned and no notation was placed, and when I mentioned it, I was placed in a room that had the doors to the TV. Cabinet ripped from its hinges. I explained to the staff, I took the iron out of one room and replaced it with the other.”

• Location was not right. Van service was horrible. Was not able to get food after arrived at 9pm. Employees are clueless.

“The hotel should not be considered to be in the Airport location. Travel time means less sleep time. The van service was unreliable and caused a long delay in getting to my room. When you already have a short night every minute counts. Upon arrival I had planned to order some food and go right to bed. I was informed that room service closed at nine, amazing. Had they picked me up in a timely manner and been closer to the airport I would not have gone hungry that night. There was no remote control for the TV in the room. I asked about van service to the airport in the morning and was told it was every half hour starting at 6am. You would think that the clerk would tell at that moment that I needed to sign up for it. When I came down for the 6am van I was told that it had left early because all who were registered for it had been present. After reading all this you tell me how you think my stay was.”

• The staff were helpful and friendly.
• The rooms could be cleaner.

“The location worked well, though I was initially concerned. It has easy access to major roads. Our first room, near the elevator (which was also being renovated) was loud, noisy and smelly. But the very friendly staff immediately moved us to the much superior non-smoking 5th floor. Neither of our rooms had a fridge or a microwave and it would have added $25 to the cost of the room. Others in our group had both. As we stayed several days, that would have been helpful. They do NOT have a 24 hour shuttle, the earliest shuttle is 6 am, unless you are airport personnel. They also have only one out of 5 pieces of fitness equipment operational. The business center is clean and tidy, but has a virtually useless internet connection. The in room Wi-Fi, works great though. I would stay again, as I really liked the staff and appreciated their sincere efforts to make things work out.”

• The location and shuttle services are excellent for business travelers.
• The room cleanliness was good, but not great. There were renovations in progress on the property.

“This hotel is directly adjacent to the Philadelphia sports arenas and just 10 minutes from PHL airport. The property is undergoing renovations, which somewhat detract from the overall attractiveness. Room appointments were acceptable. Overall room cleanliness was good, but the floor was very dirty. The on-site restaurant has standard fare for breakfast. Complimentary local shuttle services are outstanding. Other service at the hotel was good. A good choice for business travelers looking for a bargain near PHL, and a great choice for fans catching a road game.”
