Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is efficient. Great breakfast. Coffee and tea available all the time. Location is excellent, near most of the attractions. Room spacious with kicthen. Great stay overall!"

The Windsor Suites

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent for walkable tourism. Staff was welcoming and very friendly as well as the parking staff. Our hotel issue relates to operational issues. The air conditioning is turned off for all the rooms in Oct. They bring you a box fan and tell you to open a window to stay cool. The water in both the sink and shower had severe temp issues and consistency. Our door had to be pushed open extremely hard due to sticking to the frame. We called for maintenance multiple times in 4 days."

Patio Paradise Central City 2BR Philly

8/10 Good

"It wasn't apparent from the photos, but this unit was partially in the basement of the building, which was great at night, we didn't hear anything coming from outside, but the kitchen and common area had no windows so it's a little dark. There is no Kitchen table or common area with a TV, couch, etc. If you're not planning on cooking for yourself, it's probably fine. Beds were comfortable, and each room had it's own bathroom with a shower. Everything seemed pretty clean. It's bare-bones, but comfortable enough. I was concerned about parking, but had no issues getting a spot at the end of the night."
