“Exactly What You'd Expect From Holiday Inn Express”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

Perfect location if your goal (as was ours) to spend a night near the airport. They have complimentary 24 hour shuttle service to and from the terminals which are only 10 minutes away. Nice size rooms, fluffy beds and cold blowing a/c! An "extra" at this location is a great view of the Delaware River from the room. The interior... More

“Pricey But Close To The Airport”

Reviewed April 16, 2013

The signs said the 'new' Holiday Inn Express but the building is nowhere near new. I'm guessing HI took the property over, because it clearly has some age. The price was way higher than most Holiday Inn Express hotels, and I only booked it because my boss selected it. The folks at the front desk were very pleasant, and the... More

Thank you very much for posting on TripAdvisor. Our hotel opened in June 2011 and we were ecstatic when at the IHG National Convention we were awarded the Best Renovated Holiday Inn Express Award. In a staff meeting yesterday I reviewed your posting with everyone and we will be brainstorming to see how we could make your next stay better! More

“Good find”

Reviewed March 21, 2013

Coming in from the south, this seemed like it would be pretty out-of-the-way, but the shuttle driver(s) made sure it was only a ten-minute trip for my coworker and me. Nice view off the back deck. Guest Laundry smelled a bit musty, but the machines were clean. The breakfast lady is a hoot - even if the breakfast was the... More

“Good location to PHL airport, friendly staff, clean rooms”

Reviewed March 20, 2013

I picked this location due to its location to Philadelphia Airport and the Harrah's Chester Casino. I was a bit concerned it might be too close to the runway but the noise level was very minimal. Plenty of parking and ease of highway 95 access. I will stay again.
