• Location.
• Had to switch rooms. No hot water.

“The rooms were small. The room we rented did not have hot water. We told the front desk before we left for a concert. (We had arrived shortly before the concert). We were told it would be fixed while we were out. It wasn't and we had to switch rooms late in the evening after we got back. Were were told the parking charge would be removed for our inconvenience, The money was charged, but not credit in the account yet. That may appear yet as the credit was done on Monday morning. No regular coffee in the room and it was cold when we got there. I have never complained at a hotel, but this was a first.”

• Location

“We checked in at around 2:30am and the Staff was very friendly. You don't really expect people to be "on their game" at that hour. The room was great, but everything seemed even better because of your staff. Valet attendants to housekeeping; everyone we passed said hello. That's what makes a great hotel exceptional.”

• Good location. Nice decor.
• Room smelled like it was cleaned with sour rag.

“We really enjoyed our stay. The location was close enough to the historic stuff to walk (not a short walk, but fine). The decor was nice, and the front desk was helpful. We didn't like the $33 per night parking charge, and opted to park at a public garage where we paid $10 for the whole weekend instead. The room was fairly clean – dusty lights, and smelled like it had been cleaned with a sour rag, but no real issues.”

“Not at all a 3.5 star hotel. One of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in. Had to switch rooms do to hvac malfunction. Tiniest bathroom I've seen. Property is an old Holiday Inn that has barely been renovated.”

• The location and the staff.
• The property and rooms are extrememly run down.

“This is a great location and the staff is great. the internet was perfection and that was about all that was really good. The entire property is extremely run down and in a very bad need of a complete remodel. The room I was in had to be the worst in the hotel.The carpet old and worn as well as the drapes and even the wall paper was peeling at the seems as it was simply old. It was actually somewhat depressing to be in the room.”

• Great location, great room, great experience!
• $33. per day parking (should be free to guests).

“Everything was great
- no complaints except that we had to pay for parking ($33. a day). I feel this should be free to hotel guests. Other than that it totally met our expectations.”

• The white bed clothings was nice.
• Parking.

“Hotel was nice, and i would stay again. Leave a lot of extra time to get your car from the expensive parking garage next door.”

• Within walking distance of the Philadelphia Convention Center and easy access from 30th St. Station.
• Not terribly luxurious.

“This hotel provides the very basic necessities. It near to Philadelphia attractions and lovely streets to walk on, but it's direct surrounds are not tourist-attractions, and don't supply a lot of amenities such as great dining, etc. But those things are just a few blocks away. It was a bit noisy, after all.”

• Great location - Center City.

“Convenient center city location. Elephant and Castle sports bar on property. But still quite adequate (we have named our own price twice here).”

• The hotel was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable.
• I didn't like the pillows, It had air in it and felt like sleeping on a balloon.

“Nice hotel, everyone smiles and greets you, but the rooms are small.”

• The location was great, close to public transit & walking.
• Elevators unsafe, lots of construction going on and noisy.

“The concierge gave us excellent information for food/ bar and sightseeing.”

• Liked the location and the staff.
• The bartender served my wine in a dirty glass, when I told him he just poured the wine into another glass.

“I loved the hotel. Parking was too expensive. The bartender at elephant and Castles needs to be taught how to work properly. If you serve someone a dirty glass you should toss the drink and start over with a clean glass and a new drink. I was disgusted when he did that. Other than that I would definitely recomend this hotel.”

• Shower head great, quite rooms, well appointed room.
• They did not follow their own green towel policy.

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms have plenty of space, the bathrooms are very clean. The hotel is very close to everything in the downtown area, so walking is great. The food is reasonably priced (for a big downtown city environment), and the beer on tap selection is great.”

• The hotel had a luxurious feel with staff that was very kind and accomodating.
• The ice machine on our floor did not work (small problem) and the parking situation wasn't the most ideal.

“The hotel had a very luxusious feel. I was greeted very kindly by the man who was working at the front desk. The beds were very comforatable and were accompanied by a cute bag of sleep aids (eye mask, lavender pillow spray, and ear plugs). The cleaning staff was also very friendly. Overall we had a wonderful experience! The only thing that I would recommend is being aware of is the parking situation.”

• Clean, comfortable, and very relaxing hotel which is exactly what I was looking for during my stay.
• The only negative aspect for me was that I had to take an elevator. The room was on the 18th floor.

“I enjoyed this hotel because of the clean and comfortable rooms. The staff delivered when I requested a quiet room. The location to many good restaurants and shops is ideal. Overall, my stay at this hotel was very positive.”
