Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very nicely kept. The only issue was we arrived last at night, I had called prior to be able to check in late. We got in late and while in bed someone else opened our room door. Thankfully my husband was with me but still scary. It was about 1-2am. When we hear the door unlock and someone say “oh there’s people in here”"

10/10 Excellent

"Jacob was perfect host! We stay there for 4 days and enjoyed everything in Philadelphia during America 250th birthday celebration period. Every process was easy as he explained throughout the messages, every properties were just there as indicated! Hope we can visit again!"

Diamond Suites Philadelphia Center

8/10 Good

"Let me start with the cons and end on a good note: Parking is on the street and at a premium. We had to circle the clock a few times. The outside looks sketchy. But the neighbors were friendly. Bring your own paper towels to use in the kitchens no hand towels. We couldn’t get the TV to pick up any stations. Now, that room was so clean you could eat off the floor! The bed was comfortable. The air conditioner worked very well. Our host was kind."

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"I did love the property and did love the point that it was not that many steps to go up to the unit checking in was super easy and the place was clean and actually the sofa bed was actually bigger than I expected to be the only thing that may throw you off a little bit is the area if you're not used to like the hood environment that's the only thing that might throw you off about this place but besides that everything else is wonderful"
