Perfect location and decent lodgings
We don't need much when we get hotels. Quiet and clean rooms with a tv does us just fine. Now I'm going to be negative and believe me if they didn't fix this problem we would've checked out. As I was hitting the review this button I briefly saw the start of a review which states exactly what I'm about to say. We got on the 8th floor at the very end of the hall RIGHT NEXT to the door out to the rooftop pool. By the time our flight got in it was after midnight, so we just took the first thing offere a towncar ride which he quoted a 25 price for the two of us. I know a taxi is right there so we took it and glad. Anyway, when 8am came around we kept hearing banging. LOUD banging of a door. We thought it was employees to the employee closet but it was that pool. Our stay was to be for 5 more nights so hubby asked for a new room and he said they were very accomodating. I think they should've sent someone to help us move our luggage but it was on the same floor same exact room just in another area/hallway. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO HEAR THIS DOOR I'm sure the rooms near us could hear this too. If you book here call and ask if you are in that hallway on the 8th floor and ask to be moved if so. After that issue was resolved, the hotel was what we needed. We were out all day and came back for a quick rest and out again and back to watch tv and sleep. Helpful front and employees said good morning and hello everytime we saw them. Now the breakfast buffet was overpriced and underwhelming but we were hungry and not ready to seek out where we could go so it served it's purpose. Get the hot buffet because cold was just ceral/milk and some melon options. Drinks were not apart of the buffet unless you drink the milk. Now aside from that we had a good time there. It is literally right in the middle or near by ALL the historical sites. Didn't realize how close Penn's Landing was as well as even to "center city" like City Hall. Tons of restraunts and movie theaters and stores are around. LOVED the LOCATION! It was a small walk to Vistor's Center and just a bit of a walk to City Hall area. After that I'd for sure get on a bus or trolley. We didn't stay out too late but never felt unsafe and in fact there is a guard for another building alittle down from the front. Prefer Holiday Inn Express due to the continental breakfast but this was just a great location and you can get food anywhere around. Cosi's is great and just down the street on a corner.
