Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We used this hotel as a place to stay after a concert in Philadelphia at The Fillmore. We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. We’re local to the area, but stayed here for the convenience of not having to drive all the way back to the suburbs only to catch a flight out of PHL the following morning. We used the airport shuttle service and everything was timely and accurate, which made getting to and from the airport stress-free. For pickup from the airport, you just have to call once all your baggage is collected, and they arrived within about 15 minutes after calling."

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious suites located close to all the major sites and convention centre. Staff are helpful and attentive. Room was spacious and clean with a functioning kitchenette. The pool on the rooftop is a wonderful treat. I was able to walk to Reading Market, Philadelphia art museum and other places. Lots of great places to eat and the public transportation is close. Highly recommended!"

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

4/10 Poor

"Our room was not ready at check-in time. We were told that they were finishing up, and it would be 10-15 minutes. After a half-hour, I went back to the front desk. Our room was still not ready, but they found us another room. Unfortunately, it was never updated in their system. The next morning, three different staff members attempted to enter our room because they thought we were checking out. I thought the third person had taken care of it, but it took 2 more phone calls from the front desk to figure out we were leaving the next day. I was assured that everything was fixed, but our key cards were deactivated when we went out for the evening. We were not offered an apology or any compensation for being inconvenienced multiple times. In fact, when I asked for late checkout, the front desk person said they couldn't do it, and, after all, we'd "only waited 30 minutes" for our room at check-in. She was extremely rude and dismissive. To top it off, housekeeping tried to come in the next morning well before checkout despite the do not disturb sign. The property itself was fine, but I will never stay there again due to their disorganization and poor customer service."
