Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Many former clients at this Marriott property say they get a suite for the same price as they would pay for a hotel room elsewhere in the city. Plus they got a hot breakfast and a midweek social included. There were many good reviews about fine service from a friendly and efficient team of employees. There were some complaints about the high cost of parking but the location next to the City Hall is to blame for that. Most clients say they will stay here on future visits to Philadelphia and will recommend the property to friends and family. Read our customer reviews?
