La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It is a good place to stay. Airport shuttle is available. Very convenient."

Comfort Inn Philadelphia International Airport West

10/10 Excellent

"I like that they booked me a room with a tub"

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a great place the sleep. The beds were a bit wiggly but that wasn’t too bad. The hardest part for me was that the bathroom was almost too small to get in and close the door without knocking the glass shower door off its track. It took some maneuvering to get far enough in to close the door. It was clean and that beats a most things."
