Not being familiar with the city, I wasn't sure really where to book but this place got good reviews and we only needed a place for 1 night. There is a small older style elevator to take us upstairs - it fit the two of us and our 2 large suitcases and that was all! The other option was a... More

For the price (sub $100) at this location what can you expect? I will have to say, this place was pretty nice. The room, with two beds, was HUGE. Not just by city standards, but by regular hotels standards, very impressed with that. The front desk staff was nice and the room was clean. The only complaint, and this has... More

First thing i noticed when arriving in my room was the nice fresh smell of foul odor, after talking in the fresh air i did a walk around and saw how dirty the curtains were and how out dated the room was. I wasn't satisfied so I went downstairs and brought it to the attention of a miss louie and... More

Hello Sir, I am writing you in reference to the recent review that you left. I am wondering when you stayed at our hotel because we always notate complaints and I do not remember this issue being bought to my attention. I find it to be a bit odd that you referred to me by my last name when I... More

I'm not a complainer, but I just stays at possibly the worst hotel in my life. I booked room online for$176 at this hotel for a meeting. I think they give me the last room available and it was on 7th floor and the elevator goes up to 6th and at least 50 year old. They didn't inform me not... More

We were attending an Eagles game and were looking for a place to stay downtown but reasonable. The location is within walking distance to everything - shopping, historic sites, numerous places to eat, and the subway. The hotel is old but clean. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place for someone... More

Me and my family were nervous when we booked this from España without doing too much research and were so pleasantly surprised! The hotel is in a great location and the people were very friendly when we needed help. I like that this place makes you feel like you are staying in a home instead of just a hotel, and... More

The Rodeway gives you a feel for being in an historic building, close to train from airport and within an easy walk of Independence Hall, for a reasonable price. Very lively neighborhood makes for noisy nights. Be prepared to open your window for temperature control. Pros: Comfortable bed, free wifi, huge TV screen, very clean, staff friendly. Cons: Not well... More

We arrived in Philadelphia on a Tuesday afternoon and went straight to the Inn. We were not allowed to check in until 3pm, but we were told where to park and were able to leave our luggage there while we explored. Rooms are small but adequate. Breakfast was minimum. Location is good! Elevator is a problem. More
