Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Philadelphia Airport Ridley

8/10 Good

"Nice clean room and check in staff was very friendly"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Ridley Park Philadelphia Airport South

10/10 Excellent

"Positive/Descriptive: The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful across the board, and the room was very clean and tidy. The kitchen was extensive, with dishwasher, dishes, cutlery, optional hot plate. Single king room was large and comfortable, with nice sitting area (sofa, lg ottoman, modular coffee table, curtain divider), and TV w/swivel base can face this or bed. My unit had decent water pressure, unlimited hot water, water softeners, in walkin shower, w/o wand type shower head. Sink+shower hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner dispensers, + body soap bar. Free toothbrush+paste in lobby, & other missed toiletries. Room had good desk space. Comfy bed, xtra pillows+blankets. Adequate and well spaced lighting. V. close to airport. Neutral: Room 219 was directly across from elevators. Sounds carried but sound mitigation was good as could hope for given proximity. WiFi was temperamental, but I didn’t attempt troubleshooting. Need to clear out before 9/10 AM for room refresh. Minor issues: Couldn’t cast to TV. TV audio extremely variable. No pen+paper in room when needed. Pillowcases not included on spare pillows, but layered them under spare sheet beneath other pillows. Issues: Difficult climate control. Noisy teenage neighbors in hallways (running, shouting) not adequately attended to by staff, although I made no complaints. Takeaway: Surprisingly good Star"

Cozy apartment with office in Delaware Valley perfect for remote work

10/10 Excellent

"Just an amazing property. Its a full apartment that includes a huge living room with a working gas fireplace. If you are travelling on business, you will love the dedicated office with a full up desk and a printer. Amazing options for lighting in all rooms lets you make it as bright or calm as you want. The bed was very comfortable with lots of great pillows. There is even a small kitchen. It was super comfortable for the weekend and would be great for en extended business trip. The neighborhood is peaceful and there are multiple options for enjoying the outdoors. On top of it all, the apartment was literally half the cost of nearby hotels. Really wonderful."
