Great location and nice staff, even with Phillies and Eagles playing back to back games and nights. Room was clean and comfortable.

Positives: Friendly front desk staff.

Negatives: WiFi never worked and no one could fix it; I would have liked a refund.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 10 Sep 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

A great location for a hotel near the airport Super for an overnight stay. Staff were friendly enough, but do be prepared to carry your own luggage. There are no porters in the morning.

<BR/>

Positives: Location was excellent.

Negatives: Parking was a bit of a nightmare due to paid parking for the game.

Dirtiest, nastiest hotel that I have ever stayed in. I feel ripped off.

Positives: This hotel is not a two star hotel.

Negatives: Hotel was extremely dirty and is not anything like the pictures online. Worst experience I have ever had.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 02 Jul 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Don't let the outside of this hotel fool you. It may not seem like the best looking hotel but our room was beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing! The food was so so. Not that bad but not that good either. I didn't use the pool during my stay.

Positives: Cleanliness of room and location of hotel.

Negatives: Unattractive outside, hotel staff entered my room while we were there unpacking

Great location, free parking. Good value for the money.

Positives: Location. Room was nice as well.

Negatives: Little things. The sink basin didn't hold water- the light sockets were dirty.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Jun 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

The new lobby renovation is beautiful; however, it doesn't reflect the room decor. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful. The restaurant/bar staff was friendly but it was pretty empty. The locations is very convenient and the free parking is wonderful.

Positives: The new lobby is very attractive. The rooms aren't upscale but they are tolerable. Had issues with the bathroom fixtures.

Negatives: The bathroom.

Convenient to the Sports Complex and Airport, the hotel is a no-frills but clean, neat place to stay in a pinch.

Positives: Location, quality and price were exactly what I needed.

Negatives: Wish amenities were nicer - old television for example.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Nov 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was going under renovations. I had a good stay and the employees were very friendly. Not happy with having to go up or down two floors for ice as machine on the 8th floor did not work. The TV was an older model,for the price I would expect a flat screen. Overall though it was a nice experience.

Positives: The room was very nice.

Negatives: The ice machine did not work. You had to go up or down two floors to find a working machine.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 03 Nov 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Just as expected for a Holiday Inn. Relatively clean, attractive room decor, nice facilities.

Positives: Easy access, clean, and nice facilities.

Negatives: It's in the stadium area and if there were a home game going in or letting out, traffic would have been terrible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel met our needs for a place to spend the night close to the airport...after booking it I read several negative reviews on other websites, but all of the problems mentioned seem to have been resolved

Positives: Staff was helpful and friendly, great suggestion for a place to eat breakfast nearby.

Negatives: Bathroom was clean but needed an upgrade badly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 29 Sep 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

Check in was very unfriendly, no hello or thank you, plus attitude. We were woken up by sharp knock from the maid at 8 am for no reason. Wouldn't stay there again.

Positives: Price.

Negatives: Unpleasant.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 10 Aug 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Nice view of outside pool and stadium from our room.

Positives: Close to stadium, and Turf Club.

Negatives: Not close to downtown.

I was in Phila. for medical reasons. Choose hotel for proximity to airport &amp; on site restaurant. Restaurant was being renovated, and I had no place to eat. Room was clean. Two phones &amp; clock didn't work; no refrigerator; prompt service by staff member to fix one phone and frig brought to room. Too pricey for one night stay.

Positives: Staff responded quickly.

Negatives: Noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 04 Jun 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Staff is the best thing about this hotel. They really try to accommodate guests. Hotel room did not have a refrigerator, although there was a space designed for one. Curtains were stained. Bathroom fan did not work. Restaurant closed. Good for one or two night stay, but not longer.

Positives: Friendly staff and located near sports facilities. Free parking.

Negatives: Room was old. Curtains were stained.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 21 May 2010 rated 3 out of 10.

The price was good but this hotel is not comparable to the Comfort Inn. So in short we did not have a great experience.

Positives: The bed.

Negatives: Nothing works, small bathroom, have to go to other floors for ice, not breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 30 Apr 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

I really liked this hotel. My husband and I went just for a quick get away. The sports center vet, Stadium, etc. was in walking distant. The room was comfortable. The shuttle service was awesome! We were on a budget and we had cab fare in our budget, but the shuttle guy took us to a club and even picked us up at 3am. We saved a lot of money and it was super convenient. We were waiting for a cab when the shuttle guy asked where we were headed and he said I will take you and gave us a card with the hotel number to pick us up and who to ask for, it was great.

<BR/>

Positives: The beds, the location and the room size.

Negatives: The bathroom door didn't close.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 15 Mar 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

The employees even tell you not to walk outside alone or past 100 feet from the front door. You also call this an &quot;airport&quot; location but it took a $25 cab ride to get there because there was not airport shuttle picking you up.

Positives: Nothing. It was awful and very dangerous.

Negatives: Dangerous, broken furniture, unsavory characters in the lobby and hotel corridors. People screaming in the hallway until 4 AM.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Mar 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

Hotel staff was very courteous. Hotel could have been a little cleaner.

Positives: The hotel staff.

Negatives: The hotel rooms were not as clean as I expected.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Feb 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

I thought the hotel was wonderful, especially if you want a romantic weekend. The beds was comfortable and the room was roomy. I would stay again and I told my sisters about it.

Positives: Its beauty and comfort.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 14 Feb 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

Unfortunately, we did not have a positive experience. The cover for the heater/ ac was lying on the floor when we arrived in our room at 9:30 ish. we called the front desk, they said someone would be there shortly. No one arrived and no one called to tell us they were not coming. Could not pull out the shower handle, my husband had to come in and brace himself against the tub to pull out the shower handle. It was absurd to me that they would not have inspected the room prior to renting!

Positives: Clean, nice size rooms.

Negatives: Enitre heater was exposed, called front desk, no one ever came or called back.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Feb 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

Very poorly maintained property. Not a great place for a business traveler. Definitely not good for a family.

Positives: Not much. Free parking.

Negatives: Poorly Maintained. Bad area. Restaurant closed. Barely a 2 star property.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Jan 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel seems as if they are in construction. One of the automatic doors was out of service. The handicapped room need immediate attention. It took 6-8 times for the toilet to completely flush. The tub was dirty and the wallpaper in the restroom was peeled off in spots. The back of the main door into the hotel room had been stained and top coat removed in areas. Not happy with the restroom here.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Bathtub dirty, wallpaper coming down in bathroom, toilet broke.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 23 Nov 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

This facility was not exactly at the airport, room was not that clean, toilet was disgusting and didn't work right. They do not serve alcohol on site but didn't find that out until I ordered. I left. Location is next to a race track and had some questionable folks in the parking lot/area.

Positives: The staff was friendly.

Negatives: Toilet didn't work and there was

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 Oct 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

Positives: Friendliness of staff.

Negatives: Drunk patrons.

Secured great price for room via Priceline which compensated for the negatives. Foul odors from the AC - heating unit in room. Housekeeper did not speak or understand English, clean towels left but pillows from bed put on the floor while making the bed. Carpet in room was tacky and smelled of rancid beer, not all lamps worked. Ice machine not working on 4th floor. To obtain ice, travel to even numbered floors, then travel to odd numbered floors for beverages. Recommend just hauling your own into the room. No alternative dining within walking distance other than the restaurant in hotel which was over priced, night life in restaurant was beyond my tolerance with Techno beat Music so loud I had to hand signal my companion to leave. Ordered food in from J&J Restaurant (found info in room folder). Food was great but cleaning staff did not remove the trash from it the next day. Bathroom was clean however, bed was comfy and well worth the Priceline fee. Would use again but demand a cleaner smelling room.

Positives: Location, if you're there for game/concert, shuttle service was great.

Negatives: Noisy hallways, trash removal, non working ice machine on my floor.
