Came to Philadelphia for Army-Navy game. As a BW rewards holder, we were thrilled when we found this hotel - a perfect match for our love of historic hotels - and it didn't disappoint. For such a huge event weekend, we thought the price was very reasonable. Located virtually at the center of the Independence Park Historic area. Fabulous location close to subway or even walking to central city area. Perfect location to take subway yo the game at Lincoln field. Rom as nice size, clean and well maintained. Bed was soooo comfortable. Pillows - way above normal for most hotels at this mid-range price. Staff was a 10+ in all facets of ; friendly, helpful and just plain pleasant to talk to. We will stay here again for sure.

We visited Philadelphia with another couple, and stayed here for 3 nights. I'm not usually overwhelmed by a hotel--you stay there at night(maybe have breakfast). BUT this place was different. First, location is excellent to a number of places to see, like Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Museum of American Revolution. It is also a stop on the Phlash bus that takes you to a number of other destinations in Philadelphia. Second, and maybe most importantly, the staff made you feel extremely welcome. This was not just a "good morning" type hello, but they actually engaged you, asked how you day was, where are you going today?, have you seen this? type of conversation. I did not meet one person who was not smiling or friendly.
Third, great breakfast. Good way to start your day. Fourth, rooms were just fine, quiet, and comfortable.
Just, an all-around great place to stay.

Staying at the Independence Park Hotel was a wonderful experience! It is a boutique hotel, part of the Best Western Plus family, but totally unique. The location is right across the street from the new Museum of the American Revolution (which is another gem) and near many historic places. The lobby is warm and welcoming. We were upgraded to a king room that was clean, tastefully decorated, had all the amenities (such as microwave, good sized refrig, lovely soft towels), and a comfy couch. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We got a great recommendation for a dinner restaurant close by! The free breakfast was a cut above the normal one at Best Western with many options and served on china with cloth napkins, no paper plates! On the first time there, a hostess gives you a personal tour of all the offerings and staff is present to refill food and help with any questions. Overall, this is a hidden gem in Philadelphia hotels.
