I stayed at this hotel whilst attending an academic conference at the adjoining Convention Center, and many of the sessions were held in the hotel itself. The train station was directly underneath. So it was an ideal location. It was also only a few blocks walk from the historic independence sites, and in the heart of the shopping centre. Plenty... more

I stayed at this hotel for an academic conference. The location is fantastic--very close to restaurants, bars, and the Reading Terminal Market. The on-site restaurant is very good and the service was solid. The bar was also nice, but pricey--there are other, cheaper options available within a one-block radius. All personnel were very friendly and helpful. The conference facilities were... more

My room (1804) had a bit of... more

I travel alot so I have certain things that I expect in a 4 star hotel. In room FREE wifi or a business center I can use. I think if you have paid $200 plus for a room that is a given. I also appreciate a continental breakfast and local paper. The pool was ridiculously small and cold. What modern... more
