Good choice for convention center traffic (you must stay at least 5 nights). Right next to Macys as well. No heat in room when I arrived, but it was fixed within minutes of me calling. Much better than service than I received at supposedly fancy Sofitel philadelphia a few months back. Carpets and couches with some stains, but nothing too... more

Every year we go to Philadelphia for a few nights to show our son something new. We chose to stay at the Residence Inn City Center, Philadelphia. Hotel is very central and directly on the Philly Pflash route. We love using the Philly Pflash to get around. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Our room was plenty big for the three... more

Pros: very convenient to shops, restaurants, great view of city hall, gorgeous/comfortable room, free (huge!) breakfast! Cons: Park your car there (no where else to park!) for $35 with valet! Went to check in & clerk said my reservation was not paid for (I went through priceline)....took approximately 45 minutes to clear this up - very annoying when it's late... more

Purple and gold the night we stayed. Very close to... more

Thanks to Josh, a front desk staffs and I believe he is one of the best front desk staffs in this hotel. He is very accommodating, pleasant to deal with especially feeling exhausted after traveling for many hours from our trip, I find him very helpful. Indeed there is a rude night front desk staff we have encountered with during... more

This was my first stay at a Residence Inn. I booked it due to its proximity to the Pennsylvania Convention Center (on Penn Square, a 5 min walk to the CC). I also knew I'd be in my room (working) quite a bit, so I wanted a larger room. I got their standard jr. suite, which has a king bed,... more
