The hotel was awesome. The rooms were huge and we had two connecting. It was really beautiful. We had a view of the city from our room, and it was fun to watch the people go by. more

Building recycling at its best: the building is the ex-City Hall Annex, and it's hard to get more central than that--a block from Reading Market, easy stroll to Ben Franklin Parkway institutions. The rooms, security etc. are up to the latest standards. The major negative is the expensive parking, but even here there is a solution for weekend visitors: the... more

My grandma, my mother and myself stayed at this hotel over Columbus Day weekend. It was our first time in Phila and the location was perfect for that. Right in front of the gorgeous City Hall, we couldn't have asked for a more central place. It was just 15 minutes walking to the historic mall, 10 minutes to the theaters... more

I have always been comfortable (generally speaking) at Marriott's. However, I have often found that the Courtyard brand can often vary in quality. This location surely tops the high end. The hotel is in a great historic building right across from city hall. The lobby and guest rooms are well appointed. The hotel is conveniently located to mots Philly attractions.... more

My wife and I went to Philly for a wedding and stayed at the Courtyard Downtown on Juniper. Getting into the hotel from the airport was easy, we took the SEPTA train and got off at Suburban station that is only 2 blocks from the hotel. The staff was great and upgraded our room based on my Marriott status. The... more

The Reading Terminal Market is around the corner so eating wasn't a problem. All the historical sites are within walking distance. The only... more

We arrived from LA at 9:45 AM. Prior to our arrival, I emailed the hotel to see if we might be able to check in early as we took a red eye the night before. I received a message from the general manager assuring us the would not be a problem. Sure enough, our room was ready on arrival. Front... more

We stayed at the Downtown Courtyard over a weekend. We checked in very late/early Friday night/Saturday morning. Front desk staff greeted us enthusiastically. Our room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. However the previous warnings in previous customer reviews about the fitted sheets not fitting very well turned out to be true. Every night the sheets snapped... more

When researching hotels in the City Center area, this was my top pick so needless to say I was thrilled when I won it on Priceline for $55/night for our three night stay. We received a warm and friendly welcome from Amber, who mentioned what a great rate we got and let us check in early as requested. She appointed... more
