It's hard to find a better location than this. The staff is excellent and they have a perfectly sized bar. Rooms are clean as well so it checks all of the boxes for me. I live in town and this just made it easier for me to commute for a work conference.

We had troubles at this location from the very moment we checked in that have persisted a week later as we are still waiting on the General Manager to deliver on an offered refund. At check-in, there was no acknowledgement of our Bonvoy membership, and we were not provided with our welcome bags for the wedding we were attending (we had to specifically ask for one the next day). Our first room was filthy and falling apart. The AC didn't work, which made for a restless, sweaty evening. The shower was a lawsuit waiting to happen as I slipped on the metal grate at the bottom of the shower, realizing it wasn't actually attached to the floor. When we tried to use the shelf to place toiletries on, it fell out of the wall, along with our items (all travel-sized). That's not to mention the visible mildew and black model growing around the room. Thick layers of dust, discarded trash, and forgotten food or vomit rounded out our experience with the first room. We visited the front desk that evening around midnight to try to remedy the issue, were told that an engineer was on the way, and waited for 30 minutes before returning to the desk to be told the engineer actually already left. I reached out to the front desk manager around 1:45 am to share our troubles with her in hopes that they could be remedied the next day. After not hearing from anyone by 11 am the next day, we went to the front desk and requested to be moved to a different room. This did occur. Eventually, the front desk manager reached out and comped our first night's stay to make up for the terrible experience. In our second room, the AC did actually work, which was an improvement. However, this room was also very dirty, with fresh coffee stains in the bedroom area and a train of blood stains moving from the bathroom wall out to the carpet outside the bathroom. The showerhead in the second room was also a breeding ground for mold and the curtain chain for our single window was broken. Since our stay, I've spent hours relaying our experience to the director of rooms (never receiving a response) and the general manager (who offered to comp the second night of our stay, but never actually followed through on that). I continue to receive automated requests for feedback (up to 5 within a week), despite being in quick communication with management about our experience. This property is atrocious. I created a TA account to make sure I can share our experience with as many people as possible.…

Vikii from the front the desk is an absolute gem. Incredible service, first class experience. Certainly will stay here again. Our room had a beautiful view of city hall. Prime location if you want to be located in Center City.

Service was excellent at the front desk, Jacqueline and Vikki were warm, attentive and very helpful. Lobby was beautiful, and a spinning wheel for prizes. Room was big and comfortable. Th wonky feedback for improvement is this review process, it requires 200 characters, and it too much.

From the moment we walked in..we were pampered. Beautiful unique hotel. Our small group booked this hotel months ago for a girls weekend getaway, and couldn't be more happy with our choice. Some hotels won't make small accommodations for their guest but the front desk agent got all our rooms on the same floor which was considerate. I definitely recommend Le Meridien in Philadelphia.

I am a lifetime platinum member, and frequently travel for business and family obligations. With that, I must convey that my recent stay was less than satisfactory. While the room itself was nice, I had several issues. First, when I checked in and requested a suite upgrade, I was told nothing was available at check in. I had reached out the day before, knowing they set up the room assingments prior. I realize that this denial is now pretty much a standard practice unless a hotel has low occupancy or great familiarity with the specific guest, I still think a lifetime platinum member should receive priority. Second, I received coupons for status breakfast, given they don’t offer a concierge lounge. Imagine my disappointment to find that coupon entitles you to a very small bowl of fruit and toast. Given I try and eat protein (eggs) for breakfast, as many others do, this was yet another disappointment. Finally, I asked to have my room serviced the second day of my stay. This was apparently ignored, as the room was not serviced upon my return at the end of the day. The next day, as I was leaving about 7:00 am for work, I requested the same. I returned to my room with the same result. I called down to the desk, and they responded that it would be done in the next 30 mins. I was supposed to leave for a dinner appointment shortly, so no problem. My appointment was delayed, and by the time I left some 90 minutes later, it still had not been done. I returned later that evening, and it finally had been done. This was my first stay at Le Meridian. While the location was convenient, the amenities don’t quite make me (as a lifetime platinum member) feel appreciated. This is true now of the Marriott Brand in general. I can’t help but notice that the service model has changed from “provide excellent service” to “provide the absolute bare minimum” to take your dollars. That being said, I have had one or two recent positive experiences (A night at the Marriott Conshohocken comes to mind), but overall I remain disappointed with the Marriott Brands decline. I hope that their corporate offices in the DC area heed the feedback they are receiving, as I speak to other status members. My wife is a status member with Hilton, and reports few complaints. As a result, we will collectively pursue status with Hilton, and direct our resources towards that objective. …
