This was a last minute booking and was the only hotel near the airport with availability. As has been noted, the hotel has been updated; new furniture, bedding, bath fixtures, etc. and the rooms are quite spacious. On the down side...it was a little "funky" (best way to describe it). There was a musty smell in the room and although... More

I thought I'd try this hotel on my 3rd business trip to Philadelphia in a month, just for a change of pace. It sounded nice...being on the river. Not worth it. One side of the hotel overlooks the dry dock/repair yard. The other side overlooks the nightclub next door. I like to walk when I arrive at a new place;... More

I've stayed at several Holiday Inn hotels across the nation and I must say this one in not as nice as those. The view of the Delaware River and marina is probably one of the best in the city but that's it. This hotel did a renovation but it still needs more work or the workers need to actually clean...

We received a 2 bed suite and it was really comfortable. I was worried at first because it was overlooking the local niteclub next door but it was fine . We enjoyed our stay very much.

My husband and I chose this hotel because we were attending a function at the Corinthian Yacht Club next door. Also the TA reviews were so positive. We thought we might be able to get a room with a view of the river. We were told that there were no rooms views of the river. The only view of the... More

I had to spend the night here because of a flight delay. It is clean, new, and modern with wifi network. It is conveniently located by the airport but they need more restaurants in the nearby area.

I needed to come to Philly for business on short notice so I didn't have much time to plan the trip. This hotel popped out on the top of the list of our corporate travel planner so I grabbed it. It's not much to look at from the outside and the neighborhood a little run down / industrial (it is... More

The hotel is about 3 miles from the airport but in an odd area for hotel. No other hotels nearby and fairly close to a residential area. The area is okay but again you wouldn't expect a hotel the hotel seems older but has been partially rennovated (Carpets and certain other amenities). But thigs like some of the furniture and... More
