“Older, dated hotel”

Hilton Philadelphia Airport

3 of 5 stars
Roseville, California
May 11, 2008

This is an older, dated hotel, especially the public areas. There are only 3 small elevators that seem always occupied. There is no concierge level. However, the rooms are spacious with new furnishings, and a great bed. Bathroom was small and worn. Breakfast buffet was good, but not great, front desk staff very friendly, and the shuttle to the airport timely. Not a shining star in the Hilton chain, which has some excellent airport hotels. Not sure if I would stay here again, as the Airport Marriott is so much nicer, newer, and more convenient.

“Overpriced airport hotel”

Hilton Philadelphia Airport

2 of 5 stars
Spring, TX
Apr 25, 2008

I stayed one night at the Hilton Philadelphia Airport and was mostly disappointed. The positives were that room service was quick and the food was good, the bed was comfortable, and the hotel is located close to the airport.

The negatives were that my room was musty smelling and when I went to shower I found that there was no water. I had to go downstairs to inquire about the problem because the front desk phone was consistently busy. They had shut down water to the building to fix a leak. And in typical union labor fashion, one guy was working and five others were sitting around chatting. Thankfully they got the water back on about an hour later.

My first choice was the Hampton Inn near the airport, but they were full. That still would be my first choice.

“Not as bad as reviews indicate”

Hilton Philadelphia Airport

Mar 21, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the airport Hilton in March 2008. We were actually quite worried about the hotel from all the negative reviews, but, found the accommodations ok- not great- but nicer than described.

We booked through priceline - a nonsmoking room. They tried to tell us we booked a smoking room, and had to give us a handicapped accessible nonsmoking room as that was supposedly the only nonsmoking room left.

It took 25 minutes to check in- as priceline customers cannot use the express check in (hence, we waited in line for 25 minutes!)- and the hotel staff were very slow at checking in everybody.

There was a hole in the sheets on one of the queen beds.

The rooms did appear to be recently renovated. Although the decorator did not do a stellar job at coordinating accessories and furnishings, there was no problems with comfort.

The service in the sports bar was horrible. The waitress would not stop at our table without us hailing her down with great efforts. She never checked on us, she never asked how our food was, or never came back to refill drinks. THe food was ok, around what you would expect from a hotel dining room.

The parking lot appeared very safe and we had no problems with vandalism or theft.

Overall, this was a nice hotel room, it was certainly the worst Hilton (or "luxury" hotel) we ever stayed but was nicer than a comfort in. For the price, it wasn't bad.

“Nothing Spectacular, other than an on-time airport shuttle”

Hilton Philadelphia Airport

Mar 19, 2008

The hotel is okay and is within 5 minutes of the airport. Best thing I can say is the airport shuttle is on time for depatures. Not a value hotel for the business travel, that is for sure. The restaurant had a very overpriced wine list and food was marginal at best. Stick to the Sports Bar, as fine dining at an airport hotel leaves a lot to be desired.

“Hilton was pretty good for an Airport hotel”

Hilton Philadelphia Airport

4 of 5 stars
Wrightsville Beach, NC
Mar 12, 2008

I stayed here one night last week for a business meeting in one of the conference rooms.

No particular comment on the front desk staff as it wasn't an issue or memorable. The room was standard Hilton fare and the bed had plenty of comfy pillows.

We had dinner downstairs one night and the food was pretty good although a tad on the high side. The wine list was good, but really pricey....one glass of Kendall Jackson Chard was over $15. You can get a bottle for less than that down the block.

I guess you have to accept when near airports, everything is more expensive.

After staying at other hotels nearby (embassy, Sheraton, Marriott) I would have to give this a comparable review. The quality in the room seemed to be there and everyone at the restaurants (dinner and breakfast) were more than accomadating and friendly.

I would stay here again, but might lean more towards the Embassy due to lower prices and the managers happy hour.
