Top Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Inn PHL Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Ash Pateo (sp?) was extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was perfect for our stay. We had everything we needed and were comfortable and felt safe."

Best Western Plus Newark/Christiana Inn

6/10 Okay

"The carpet and the drapes were in need of being cleaned or replaced.The coffee machine was out of order and the alternatives provided did not offer decaf or hot water for tea.The front desk staff was kind, courteous, very pleasant and extremely helpful. The air conditioning in the room was able to be adjusted to a comfortable level but in the area where breakfast was served it was cold and uncomfortable.The swimming pool was extremely cold and the hot tub was out of serve.Towels were not readily available in the pool area they had to be requested at the front desk.Overall I felt the accommodations were less than adequate for the price and I would not recommend it if other accommodations are available."

Quality Hotel Philadelphia Airport

2/10 Terrible

"The front end attendant was completely rude (the middle eastern gentleman). The quality of the room was not good at all. The walls were dirty, there were spots on the sheets, rust stains in the tub, a phone receiver but no phone. Had bedbugs that we discovered the day of check when waking up that morning and my sister spots as a result of the bedbugs, as well as waking up to a leaking ceiling in the bathroom. It was not a good experience nor the standard I’m used to when traveling."

Clarion Hotel Philadelphia International Airport

2/10 Terrible

"I would not recommend this hotel. They are unorganized and the property is not well maintained. I booked two rooms. One was not cleaned at all and there were dirty towels on the floor and bed not made. The second room we couldn’t even get into due to the door not working. Due to them being sold out we had to find accommodations else where at 2am. The ladies at the desk were very nice and tried to be helpful but unfortunately they were set up for failure. I hope they get it together."
