Top hotels in Southwest Philadelphia
Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport
"They posted signs in the elevator stating water would be off the next day for 4 hours. Had I not went down to grab a drink I would never have known. Horrible to think you spent money to stay at a nice hotel and you are expected to not have running water. No compensation or anything."
