Stayed 5 nights in this hotel while in Philly for a work meeting ... I wished I had stayed somewhere else. The room was fine, very basic, but the walls are paper thin (the guy in the room next to me was having a conference call for his work and i heard the entire conversation). I actually liked the location... More

I attended a 4-day conference in Philadelphia in mid-May. The hotel staff was exceptionally responsive before, during and after the conference in meeting the needs of our group. A good bar on the first floor and a decent restaurant on the second round out a good place to settle in for a few days. Its location is just right --... More

I was returning to my regional office in Philadelphia and as a Fed Travelor was booked at the Doubletree in Philadelphia about six blocks from my regional office. It is located in the arts district and was a nice scenerary after being in the field for six months. I had planned on staying the weekend and taking in some shows... More

We stayed here one night to see a concert that was right across the street. We were thrilled to be that close so for us, it was a steal! The room was beautiful with the exception of a hair that was on the bed when we were arrived which could have been mine or someone else's. Besides that, the room... More

Reservations: easily made over the internet. Room rate was a little on the pricey side but it was graduation weekend at the University of Pennsylvania. Reception: fairly pleasant and efficient. Hotel Lobby: large and bright but seemed a little dingy during the daytime despite being very clean and modern. Not too inviting during the daytime; much better at night. Room:... More

Have stayed at the Doubletree over a dozen times. Great location, comfortable clean rooms, nice pool area and who could forget the cookies. Terrific views from the upper floors. Always my choice when in town.
