“We used to go for the cheesesteaks but now we go for the hotel”

Reviewed 4 June 2013

We go to Philly once or twice a year. We like to stay in Center City at a reasonably priced hotel, close to everything, with decent rooms. The Windsor Suites exceed those expectations. The location is great, close enough to the action and near transit to get you out of the core of the city if need be. The rooms... More

“The ONLY place to stay in Philly!”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

The hotel is centrally located in down town. My boyfriend and I have never been to Philly and we weren't too sure where everything was. The Windsor is perfectly located in the middle of everything. It was close to all the historical tour sites, tour bus pick ups, subways, trolleys, parks, food vendors and bars. We couldn't have picked a... More

Your comments about our staff have been shared with them, and they are excited that their efforts were recognized.

“Good value in the heart of Center City.”

Reviewed 2 June 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for a weekend and were very pleased. The location was perfect and it was an excellent value compared to other hotels in the area. The staff was very helpful and even gave us an upgraded room because it was our anniversary. I've seen other reviews saying it wasn't clean, but our room was perfectly clean. The decor... More

Dear Paul, We are delighted that you spent your recent anniversary with us, and that you had an exceptional stay. We thought we should let you know that while we just recently completed renovating our guest rooms, we are now working on plans to continue to update the rest of our decor. We are sure you'll enjoy that on your... More

“Dirty Dirty Dirty”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

To say my stay was disappointing is an understatement. The room was worn and uninviting. It was very cold. The kitchen area was dirty. The sink in the bathroom was clogged. Very disappointing to say the least. Never again.

Dear NMW_13_13, Thank you for providing us with your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. It is our goal at The Windsor that each and every guest have a delightful and pleasant stay with us and want to return again in the future. Please accept my sincere apologies for not having... More

We took the kids to Philly during their spring break, and stayed at the Windsor because I found a deal for it on one of the internet booking sites. Well, as others have said, the location was terrific - we walked to the Franklin Institute and Eastern State Penitentiary and back, no problem. I really appreciate the comfort of a... More

“Great location”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

The hotel is very conveniently located – it’s a 5 minute walk from the airport train, and close to many museums. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were very small and hard. The room is very spacious, with two walk-in closets plus a small kitchen. The only problem is that there is only one chair, which is at... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights (unfortunately). Upon arrival, I was told that I was upgraded from a studio to a 1 bedroom. I was excited, but that soon passed. As I got to my hotel room door I heard a lot of laughter inside of the room. At first I thought that there was a mistake with... More

We'd stayed here in 2010, and this was our first choice when we decided to come back to Philly. The location suits us being able to walk everywhere comfortably to the historic district - and transport for a baseball game.

“A very comfortable suite...”

Reviewed 18 April 2013 via mobile

I was treated to an upgrade suite.... Separate bedroom... With a very comfortable living room and well-stocked kitchenette in terms of necessary dishes, appliances, etcetera. While the attached "pub" restaurant was very disappointing in terms of food quality, this is a property I'd definitely recommend.
