Hotels near Center City, Philadelphia

"The room is modern but a bit small. It is difficult to compare American hotels with Asian hotels where amenities like shaving and toothbrushing needs are also met. No re-usable paper slippers are available in the room as well, not to mention free bottled water. The price is not highly competitive though. One good thing is that extension of my checkout time to 4pm only required me to pay an extra small amount of money which I fully appreciated that."

"I checked in late, around 2 a.m. The receptionist was very helpful. I liked the room because it had two queen beds. The room was very comfortable with a view of the city. The location is strategic. I will definitely return to this hotel again..."

"Front desk service was welcoming and accommodating. We were worried we might not make it to the checkin deadline. But the receptionist noted our situation and made sure we were able to have a room. The receptionist was informative on what the Inn offer such as breakfast and events."

"Hotel is in the center of the city, close to metro station. Staff were very kind and helpful. Hotel has all the services you need including laundry. Hotel is clean though the hotel seems a bit outdated. The price quality ration is very good"

"This series is affordable. The skylight is natural light and the design is clever"

"The hotel's location is simply the best: so close to Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown, and relatively easy to walk to most of Center City. Our room was larger than most we have stayed in, and the bed sleeps very comfortably. Great value for the price! We could hear some outside noise, but I imagine that is because we stayed overnight when the Eagles won the NFC Championship at home. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful, and extra security measures make the hotel feel safe."

"Second time staying here — the hotel itself is clean and very comfortable, the rooms are well equipped. Breakfast is pretty good. This time around we had a bit of a struggle at check in which also caused a problem at breakfast the next day. The lady who checked us in (Megan) asked me four (4) times if I needed parking and didn’t seem to believe me when I kept saying no. She also told us our room wasn’t ready even though we checked in at 4pm, an hour after check-in time, and told us we’d need to take a 2 queen room instead of a king room. I told her we’d rather wait for a king room because that’s what we paid for, and lo and behold, suddenly she had one. We paid for breakfast with our stay, but she forgot to give us tickets for breakfast. Made it very awkward when we went to breakfast the next day and had to insist that we’d paid for breakfast. They still gave us a bill for breakfast, but then after talking to the front desk realized it was a mistake. They were kind, but it was still very awkward having to defend the fact that we’d paid for breakfast already. They said we were the second group that day which the front desk had forgotten to give breakfasttickets to. All in all, aside from the people and the awkwardness caused, it was a good stay. We’ll hope for better service next time we come back."

"The location is very central, right across from Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown. Walking at night felt safe and was not a problem. Parking can be a bit tricky to find nearby—the closest option costs about $80 per night, while a slightly farther multi-level garage is more affordable at around $50–60 per night."

"📍 **Location, Location, Location!** The hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable! It's just a few minutes' walk to Reading Terminal Market, making it super convenient to grab a Philly cheesesteak or browse fresh produce. Chinatown is also easily within walking distance, so you'll never have to worry about finding great Chinese food. With restaurants, shops, and transport hubs all around, getting around and finding places to eat couldn't be easier. ⚠️ **Check-in Details Were a Letdown** However, for a Marriott brand, the attention to detail in the room was quite lacking. Upon entering, I found there was no drinking water, and the bedsheets had noticeable stains, which immediately brought down the overall experience. While the bathroom facilities were complete, the general maintenance felt a bit subpar and didn't meet the brand standards I expected. ✨ **Overall Impression** If your main priority is easy access to explore central Philadelphia, this location is an excellent choice. But if you have high expectations for room cleanliness and meticulous service, you might be a bit disappointed. It's best suited for travelers who prioritize location above all else and are less sensitive to minor details."

"The service was incredibly friendly and responsive; they really went above and beyond, almost like guardian angels. The facilities were very clean too. The only downside was how noisy the bathroom exhaust fan was – it was quite loud inside the bathroom, though I couldn't really hear it from the bed. The location is great, right next to a bridge and pier with lovely views, and it's super convenient for getting to attractions in the old town."
