Good location, big room, but otherwise average
I stayed here for three nights while in town for a conference. The hotel is nicely situated in Center City and was a comfortable walking distance from the Penn. Convention Center, which was a plus. It was also convenient to much of the nice dining and shopping in the area. My hotel room was huge, and had a separate bedroom, bathroom and a large living room with dining table, desk, sofa and a kitchenette area. While spacious, however, the room bordered on tired looking (the living room more so than the bedroom) and I ended up using the kitchenette only to make coffee, as there was not a single plate, fork, spoon, bowl etc. that would have allowed me to use any of the appliances. If you plan on using the kitchenette, beware that you need to bring these things on your own. A hot breakfast was included with the price of the room, and I found it to be adequate but not great. It did seem a bit disorganized in terms of the layout of the buffet items, and things like coffee mugs and plates did seem to run out and not be replaced until requested by a guest. Overall, I would say this is a pretty average Embassy Suites but with surprisingly high prices, probably because of the location. It would likely be great for larger families who need the extra space, or for people for whom this location is particularly important.
