I only come into Philly once a year for our annual convention at the Convention Center, and I decided to try out Oakwood on this visit. I didn't want to stay in a hotel because I like to cook my own meals and eat healthy. Oakwood came out a bit cheaper than a hotel and I saved money on food, so I won in the end. And Shirley their concierge was so nice! Every night after the Convention I would come "home" and she would greet me by name and asked how the classes went. You sure can't get THAT from a hotel!

So I stumbled by Oakwood Philadelphia quite by accident. The location is amazing. Right near everything. The Subway, Restuarants, Im not kidding you there must be 30 restaurants all within a few blocks. Its only about 2.5 blocks away from Rittenhouse Square which is thee place to be in Philadelphia.

What was great was the value, because these are apartment homes, you get like twice the space that you do in any hotel (you even get full kitchens and washing machines and dryers) and its about the same price as a hotel. So any time I can get more for less, or more for about the same I am always happy :-)

The staff are simply fantastic, nothing is every to much trouble. So needless to say I would recommend to anyone.

Enjoy :-)

Oakwood makes you feel as if you are home, the apartments are fully loaded with all the amenities. Ready to cheack in. Maintainence and cleaning is awesome. Overall stay is pleasent.

I would recommend this place if you are planning to stay for long in Philly, moreoverits at the heart of downtown so everthing is reachable. lots of eating joints close by.

krystal the front desk receptionist is wonderful she went out of her way for all of our request.She also knew alot about Philadelphia where to go and what to do .Also this place has more a home feeling than a hotel stay thanks to the staff.I freakin love this place.Will recommend this hotel to a friend.A+
