“Better than the rating on here”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Not the worlds greatest hotel, but was in reasonable shape. My one warning would be to check rates in advance. There ended up being a U2 concert on when I came here so the rates were much higher than what was listed on their website.
Neighbourhood seemed ok when I walked and ran around it. The police did knock on my door the first night I was there (someone had thrown things out of a window), but I guess there can be rowdy people at any hotel.
It took me a little over an hour to walk to downtown (some of it was very nice and colourful, some areas looked a little run down).
I'd stay here again at the right price.

“Great Location for sport arena's, horrible, dirty Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Only good thing about this hotel is the location to where the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers play.
About a 20mins walk.

1st hotel room bathroom never flushed, faucets were broken.
2nd hotel room after we changed did not flush also and faucets were broken and carpet was very dirty. Beds are old and soft and smell. I was afraid of bed bugs.

Regarding the free wireless internet "in the room" non existant! The front desk hung up on me when I asked why dont I have wireless internet.
For wireless internet you had to go to the lobby.

Picture, hell no, probably camera was going to break. Lucky for me, it was only 1 night.

Room Tip: Holiday Inn might be a better location to watch any game, its across the street. 1 mins walk. Unsure...

“Absolutely terrible!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

The hotel looks nice from the outside, and it probably used to look nice on the inside too a couple of decades ago. The very fancy name, the location and the overall appearance of the building tricked us into checking in this hotel as we were looking for a place for the night. The truth is, it's very very old and nobody has ever bothered renovating the rooms. The room we were in smelled like humidity, everything was very old and very nasty. There was no cable TV nor internet. Half the lights had no light bulbs. The ice machines and the vending machines were out of order. 2 elevators out of 3 were out of order. In the bathroom, the plumbing was very old. The toilet was leaking and the water rose from the bowl and flood the bathroom. The shower curtain was nasty. The ceiling was destroyed and had holes in it with gunk dropping from it, absolutely disgusting.
Save yourself the headache and most of all save your money !!

“Lice”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

My brother and I planned to stay here one evening, only to be welcomed by a cigarette burnt blanket and lice. Upon discovering the lice within the shower, we immediately packed up and headed downstairs. When we demanded a refund we were verbally assaulted by the owner and two facility workers. Thankfully after waiting on-hold for over an hour with hotels.com we were able to secure our refund.

I would never come back. Hopefully it is torn down by the time I return to Philly.
