Business travelers will love the location, especially if attending a trade show at the nearby convention center. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Philly. Location aside, the main lobby bar is a great place to meet up before heading out to dinner or catch up with a night cap. The 13 restaurant is ok but there... More

Stayed here for one night last month. I had been to this hotel back in 2005, and was looking forward to returning. Picked a good week, as the hotel wasn't full, and I got a slight upgrade to a small suite with a Murphy bed. Hector (I think) at the front desk was very courteous and helpful. Room was clean... More

Stayed here for one night. Asked for an upgrade at check-in and was upgraded to a suite. Room was large and nice. Kids enjoyed swimming in the pool that was down the hall from our room. Two negatives - $40 valet parking and we called to get 2 pillows (we had none for the pullout couch) at 11:30 pm and... More

This is the 3rd hotel we've stayed in 10 days as part of a trip around the US. The previous two hotels were Hiltons and the difference in service could not be more stark. Taking a real example, at a previous Hilton hotel their free poolside wifi was having a bad day. We went to the lobby and without question... More

I was here on business, and this is connected to the convention center, which makes it very convenient. The lobby is busy, bustling, and typical for an in-town, large city Marriott. That also makes the rooms maybe a little over priced, but you know what you're getting. We didn't eat in the hotel because are so many good places within... More

This hotel was right across from the Reading Terminal Market AND right across from a wine store so it was perfect even if you wanted to just have a relaxing night in the room after a day out and about in the city. Staff was courteous and needs for travelling with family of four were met adequately.

Was there for a huge conference and my colleagues booked it as it directly adjacent to the Convention Center.For me the Marriotts in the US are all pretty much the same (standardized). So was this one. Large room with two queen size beds, a desk and an arm chair. Large flat screen plus the option to link your computer to... More

My friend booked a room here for me and my bride-to-be one night in advance as part of our wedding gift. Check-in was a breeze. The room was clean and comfortable with a nicely sized bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The view from our exact room was nice, but when you walked the halls it was a treat to... More

I stayed at the Marriot for a conference my wife was attending. The best thing was its' location. You are downtown, Chinatown is a short distance away and the Reading Terminal was across the street. Personally I like having my car nearby because you always forget something. We had to use the valet service. The only downside to that is... More

If you're looking for a super comfortable hotel with big lux rooms and service that treats you like an honored guest - this is not your place. I came to this hotel for a law convention, but thought that since it was a Marriott that it would at least feel like a higher-scale hotel. The rooms were small and basic,... More
