The Windsor Suites
I would definitely have given it five stars only the morning we were there, loud construction, drilling, banging near our room. We had to work downstairs in common area. We were notified of it at check in, but still affected our experience. Otherwise, everything about the hotel was awesome!

Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport
Nice clean and functional room, BUT water did not get hot enough, and doors slamming outside was noisy. It would also be nice if there was a microwave and mini fridge in the room. Also how about some coffee in the lobby in the mornings. There is a coffee maker in the room.
