Just a short walk to Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Benjamin Franklin's grave, Betsy Ross House. Twenty-five dollars per day to park, but that is to be expected downtown in a big city. Clean, comfortable room. Friendly staff.

My husband and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. It was everything we hoped for. The room was very clean, very spacious, and perfectly suited to our needs. Since the hotel was so centrally located we were able to walk to everything we wanted. The neighborhoods felt safe so we could explore the little gardens and beautiful architecture.

I had never stayed at this hotel in all my years of traveling. So I was skeptical, but I was very pleased once I walked in the door. Very nice large Lobby, for a holiday inn. Its in a central area close to market street, and easily in walking distance of plenty of restaurants and places of interest. There isn't... More

This hotel is in a great location where you can walk to the major sights in the historic district. The hotel was clean, standard Holiday Inn fare. The breakfast was good, if your rate includes breakfast vouchers, otherwise it is expensive. The front desk management and their parking system was chaotic at best and a major frustration during our two... More

I just wanted to let our travelers to Philly know that the last time I checked we were the most reasonable hotel parking in downtown Philadelphia. For those who will be staying with us in the future, you only have to have your parking ticket validated once, just keep using the same ticket, (don't take a new ticket each time... More

I was a little leary on staying here as I read both bad and good reviews plus I was told by someone there in Philly not to stay there as it was dirty. Well, I stayed anyhow and everything was just fine - it was clean, the staff was very friendly and although I didn't eat much from their restaurant... More

Have stayed at this hotel at least 3 times over last couple of months........getting great prices through last minute bookings online. Can not fault the place, staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms have always been clean and tidy....nice bathroom, good showers... some wear and tear...this is a hotel after all and most damage probably caused by other guests. Easy... More

I saw a mouse in my room. If this doesn't convince you to to stay here, then my whole other laundry list of complaints won't either.

If you are a light or even heavy sleeper like me this not the place for you. Next to a Fire Station which was very active last night at 1 am 4 am and 6 am. And the firemen love the horn and sirens when they bolt of of the Firehouse
