Typical Decent Marriott Property
This is a big hotel! I found out how big when I was assigned my room. I was in the "Horsehead Tower" (that's not the exact name but I don't remember it. It DOES start with "H".) To get there you had to go up one level on the escalator, walk down the hall and across a sky-bridge over 13th? Street into the Convention Center. Once there, the Convention Center was gated off but there was an opening to another corridor. You walk down that corridor to an elevator which you take to the 4th (and higher floors.) You then walk down another hall to your room.
Once inside, the room was a large box with a very high ceiling. The furnishings seemed a bit sparse for the size of the room. It WAS comfortable, I'll admit. It's just that the walk was so darned long in and out.
There was a large convention going on which made lines for all the restaurants and bars. Better to take your chances with some of the fine restaurants a block or two away.
Staff was friendly and helpful. I stayed here several years ago in the main building and enjoyed it more without the long hike.
I did stay for a corporate rate of $136, so THAT was a good value for downtown Philly.
