Top South Philadelphia Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

8/10 Good

"All was good"

Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City

8/10 Good

"I loved the size of the unit. It has microwave and small refrigerator and sofa. Bed were soft and pillos too. But The hotel didn’t provide you with showers cap or essentials and there is not safe inside the bedrooms. You has to go to the counter to have safe. That also did not provide you with sleeper or bath robe. I think it is a 4 start hotel because of these reasons I mentioned. Breakfast is ok with average food very basic."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"Sorry I had to give Marriott Hotel these “terrible” reviews… When you arrive at 23:00 and have an important appointment next morning, early morning that is, the last thing you want to hear from the Receptionist is that there are no rooms available for you, despite you have paid in advance for it. And they simply denied accommodation… indicating a new hotel for me. Plus they told me to walk alone to that place. I was totally uncomfortable with that, midnight is not a nice view - sort of full of homelessness in Downtown Philadelphia! Had to call and pay for an Uber, as I didn’t want to risk anything. On the bright side of things, the new accommodation was gorgeous - Element Marriott Bonvoy - and above my booking (received a lovely 1-bdr apartment, 33rd floor, absolutely fantastic view and amenities!! Overall amm is well when ends well!"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This hotel would be great, but they have a serious problem with their key card system — either staff doesn’t know how to program them correctly or there is a programming problem. Regardless, we needed to get our room keys reprogrammed repeatedly for a one night stay. Also, downtown Philadelphia has a serious homelessness challenge so the area including feels a bit like it’s in lockdown including the hotel. Finally the hotel pool is no longer in use, but is hidden behind shades along with another very large space, all on the same floor as the gym ,so that the property feels like it’s seen better days."

Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

4/10 Poor

"My reservation was guaranteed for 3:00 PM check-in. I arrived at 3:15 PM and my room was not ready. While one of the desk clerks was very apologetic, I had to wait until 3:40 before my room was ready; that is not acceptable. It really is a bare bones hotel where the only amenity is a coffee machine in the lobby. While the price point is modest, I will never stay there again."
