our recent stay at the palomar hotel, philadelphia
We are a couple of tourists from Turin, Italy, and have just returned from a trip to the States spending in our last stay at the middle of September a couple of nights at the Palomar Hotel of Philadelphia which left us greatly disappointed.
The building in itself lacks of charm with a cold, falsely stylish lobby where, as well advertised, every day it is possible to taste a glass of wine free from 5 to 6 pm with no side dishes, not even a slice of ham, but popcorn.
This, I am afraid, is nevertheless the only frill of this hotel where breakfast, not included in the room price, is served at the first floor in an unpleasant environment : we tried it the first day and consisted in few and cold pastries and little more.
Rooms are large but another time with no charm.
With the exception of the central position and the friendliness of the staff I find it hard to find anything positive about this hotel, maybe more apt for job meetings (hoping people are eligible for price reductions) than for tourists: in this last case the price requested is grossly overcharged.
Overall we left with a very poor impression and would not recommend it to anyone.
