This hotel is in a great location where you can walk to the major sights in the historic district. The hotel was clean, standard Holiday Inn fare. The breakfast was good, if your rate includes breakfast vouchers, otherwise it is expensive. The front desk management and their parking system was chaotic at best and a major frustration during our two... More

I was a little leary on staying here as I read both bad and good reviews plus I was told by someone there in Philly not to stay there as it was dirty. Well, I stayed anyhow and everything was just fine - it was clean, the staff was very friendly and although I didn't eat much from their restaurant... More

This is a good hotel. It is perhaps a bit nicer than the average Holiday Inn. When it comes to location it can't be beat. Right in the middle of the historic sights. My room was clean and nice. The air conditioning worked well. On two of three days the maids did a good job of cleaning. On the Sunday... More

Stayed here while on a business trip in April 2012. Great location for all the historical sites. Great restaurants nearby including the old City Tavern. Best pork chop ever! Short walk to the very ecclectic South Street. Lots of shops and neighborhood pubs. Would recommmend this location for eitehr leisure or business travel. More
