“Not bad”

Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City

4 of 5 stars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

16/18 found this review helpful

We stayed here May 19-22, 2006. This hotel is located in a great location and is right next to the Courtyard Marriott and the Downtown Marriott. The rooms were nice and clean and the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever stayed in. The breakfast buffet included was nice and had all you needed to eat. It was really nice that you could go down in your PJ's and bring the food back to the room if you needed to. The breakfast buffet saved at least $15.00 P/P per day. Another great service is their grocery store service. All you have to do is drop off a list of what you want at the front desk and they will do our shopping for you free of charge, no service charge that is, you still have to pay for the groceries.

The only downside to this hotel is the concierge, there is none. We asked employees several questions and they could not help. The valet guys tried to help but didn't seem to know the area either. We had to walk next door to the Downtown Marriott which was beautiful.

You are only about 8 blocks away from all the tourist stuff, Liberty Bell and Independance Hall. All are within walking distance. There are some great restaurants around the hotel and City Hall is beautiful at night.

The residence inn is very nice and would stay here again.

“Spacious in prime location”

Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City

14/17 found this review helpful

This is the perfect place to stay if you're in Philly for more than a night and need some space to move. The room was fantastic (lounge, kitchen, dining table, separate bedroom). The kitchen was fitted with everything you would need. Breakfast was great (and included in the price of the room) and staff were courteous and helpful. Location was superb - 2 blocks from Reading Terminal Market and Conference Centre. Recommend The Astral Plane and Maggiannos as great places to eat.

“This Hotel Has it All!!”

Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City

19/22 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Residence Inn from April 13-15th with a room rate of $139.00 per night. For two adults and two children (ages 9 & 12), this was a great choice for us! The room had two double beds, a pullout sofa, kitchen area with full size refridgerator, small dining area and desk with chair. The beds were the most comfortable hotel beds I have every slept in! It is worth staying there just for the beds! Room was very clean when we arrived and engineering adjusted room temp. for us within 15 min. of calling them.

Breakfast which is included in the room rate, consisted of make your own belgum waffles, eggs, sausage, bisquits, real oatmeal, fresh fruit, muffins, bagels, cereal, etc. They change it slightly everyday. Monday thru Thursday they have some kind of snack in the early evening. Breakfast was a big plus for us because we didn't have to spend $20 and up on breakfast everyday.

The staff at the Residence in was very professional and pleasant. It is nice to speak to employees who actually like what they do.

The Philly Phlash (purple trolley) stops right in front of the hotel. It is a $1.00 per ride and it stops at all the local attractions or you can pay $3.00 and ride all day.

Two places I have to mention that we really enjoyed, El Vez (hip mexican) great drinks and food. Also The Fountain (real old fashion ice cream parlor), excellent ice cream!

Two nights was not enough time in Philly for us but we still had a great time and would stay again at the Residence Inn!

“Clean, Comfortable, and Staff Outstanding”

Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City

13/15 found this review helpful

I always do research before traveling and spend lots of time finding a clean and comfortable room. We were not disappointed in any way with this hotel. My husband and I took our first family trip with our two little ones. Both of our little ones are under 3 and the hotel was perfect. We stayed in a one bedroom suite and found it to be very clean, the beds were so comfortable, and having a separate living area from the bedroom came in very handy with our kids. The kitchen was stocked with every item. The staff was outstanding. Every request was met with quick and courteous service. The location is perfect and central to everything. We also had a lovely view of City Hall and LOVE park. We highly recommend this hotel.
