Marriott Philadelphia West

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Oct 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel was in a good location, little inconvenient to get into and out of. The staff was rude but the pretzels in the lobby were nice. The bed was wonderful but room was on the small side. Hot Tub was nice, pool was small. Warning: you have to pay $12 a day for parking. Fairly nice but not a 3.5 star, more like 2.5.

Positives: The bed! that was wonderful.

Negatives: The staff, front counter was extremely rude and

Typical Marriott. Nice rooms. Nice lobby. Shula's Steakhouse/Bar was good. Overall, it was a good experience. Parking should be free this far outside of downtown Philly. And internet should be free as well.

Positives: Nice draft selection in bar (Shula's). Pool and hot tub were spacious.

Negatives: $12 for parking in a suburban hotel near other hotels that offer free parking.

Okay hotel, but watch out for the extra charges - $12/night for parking, $13 per 24 hours for wireless internet service. Are you kidding me? I won't stay here again if I can help it. We got a good deal on the room, but can't help to the extra charges.

Positives: Philadelphia soft pretzels in the lobby.

Negatives: Tacky extra charges.

A nice hotel and clean. Room was very clean and spacious. Would not recommend to anyone with back problem. Bed is much too soft.

Positives: Nice layout.

Negatives: Bed was too soft and bad on back.

The Marriott hotel was clean, neat, service was excellent, and the bedding was to die for. My room was cleaned daily and housekeeping even took it upon themselves to organize my toiletries (which were sprawled all over the sink). The service was beyond expectations, the concierge service was very helpful, and the in-house restaurant was great (try the breakfast)! Parking was $12 a day, internet was $10 a day, computer use in the business center was $0.99 a minute. It made things especially cumbersome (and expensive) for an ultra-light traveler without a laptop like myself.

Positives: Most comfortable beds and housekeeping is excellent. Restaurant is great!

Negatives: Nickel and dimes. Everything has a price at the hotel, including parking.

Short drive from Philadelphia, very clean and reasonably priced hotel. Shula's restaurant in the lobby with an excellent menu. Was a great experience.

Positives: Very comfortable hotel.

Negatives: Elevators were down in the morning.

Overall not a bad stay. Short overnight for a morning wedding nearby, hotel was clean and bed was comfortable. Arrived just after the restaurant had closed. Paid almost as much for parking as in hotels downtown-- pretty unreasonable for that area.

Positives: Very clean rooms.

Negatives: Room layout awkward, shouldn't have to pay for parking.

We were very pleased with the quality of the room, especially when the price was so reasonable. The room we were given was quiet and far removed from all the busyness downstairs.

Positives: Quiet room, sitting area.

Negatives: Very busy.

Staff extremely attentive and friendly and the housekeeping department did not miss anything - very well done across the board. Shula's grill (downstairs) very pricey for the offerings, however. Not a good value.

Positives: Best mattress and bedding (comforters etc) experienced in 20 years of travel.

Negatives: Tiny, under-equipped business center - way too small for a business-oriented hotel.

The beds here are incredible. Very clean and comfortable. I stayed three days and 2 of them I spent in bed relaxing. The air quality was something I have never experienced at any hotel. I have sinus, allergy problems but not here. I usually cannot sleep well at a hotel with forced air. I usually end up most nights in the lobby because I have trouble breathing, but not here- I slept through the nite like baby. The pool area however was not so clean.

Positives: I loved the comfortable beds, the cleanliness of the rooms and the air quality.

Negatives: The pool area was not clean.

This was a very well maintained property, but needs to be updated. The chairs in my room and the lobby are unexceptable, very uncomfortable. Very well located hotel. I had an excellent breakfast in the dining room. The rooms have inadequate lighting. Very hard to read a newspaper. On the whole I would give it a passing grade.

Positives: I had an excellent breakfast in the dining room.

Negatives: The chair in my room was unexceptably uncomfortable.
