Good looking hotel with average customer service!
After staying in 6 different Marriott hotels in a 3 week East Coast/South with my 2 teen girls this was probably of one my least favorite. It was a nice looking hotel in a historic type of building. The lobby and publics rooms are attractive, the indoor pool & workout room were more than adequate. Our room was a good size with a view of an office building & street view. The front desk was helpful but not as friendly as the other Marriotts I stayed on this trip. They have a Starbucks & a bar and full service restaurant but didn’t try either one. It is very close to several restaurants especially the Reading Terminal Market (which we enjoyed very much). Very easy walk to the shopping district and public transportation. The area is ok to walk around during the day and a little iffy at night. We had an average rate for 2 nights during August 2012. I’d probably try this hotel again but maybe I would try the full service Marriott right next door.
