“Good value, great location and fun staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Highest points here go to the staff. Always friendly and helpful even with a large group of teenagers. The breakfast is just enough but nothing special. A few hot choices and a plenty of fruit, yogurt, etc. The river view is pretty cool and you can see the Ben Franklin Bridge and Penn's Landing. The district behind the hotel seemed safe and was OK for walking and jogging in the evening.

The hotel loses points on the touchless key system they were trying. You just have to swipe your keycard in front of the door for it to unlock but our keycards had to be reset every night. Ended up being quite a hassle.

“Best value around, great location, free shuttle.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This was the cheapest decent room we could find. There is a $23 parking fee, but we saw cars on the streets that were broken into, so we felt save having our car there rather than on the streets.we arrived at 4pm (check-in time) we didn't have a reservation, the reception had a long line, so i reserved online while waiting through priceline. The reception lady was corteous but she seemed aggreviated that she was alone and had to answer the phones while checking people in. There should have been 2 people there. The check- in was not very fast, and our room was not ready until 4:45pm. We requested river/ bridge view and we got it. The view was beautiful!!!! The room was nice and clean, and so was the bathroom. We used the free shuttle service it was perfect! The breakfast was really good!!! Eggs, bacon, fruit, pastries, juices and more. You can leave your car until 4pm the day of check out, so we went sightseeing and came back for the car before 4pm... you can consider the parking fee a 2 day fee. Overall it was a great value, good room, great breakfast, good location. Check out was fast!

“Not Bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed there for a night to go to Dave and Busters. About $125.00 with an AAA discount and parking. Not bad for Philadelphia. A 5 minute walk from D/B. They have a shuttle to take you to center city ,south street etc. You have to be a bit lucky to catch the shuttle. A cab to reading Terminal Market will run you about $10. The rooms were ok. They were clean. It can be a bit noisy at night if you have a room on the street side. Breakfast is ok. Thae standard waffles cereal juice and fruit. The staff was ok, nothing special. They do have a small bar in the hotel. It opened about a half hour late. The bartender was on a call and seemed disturbed that he had to take care of 2 or 3 people wainting for a cocktail... All and all OK sums this place up.
