This hotel is in a good location if you want to see the sites. Our room was in the front of the building looking out onto the street, but was very chopped up spatially. Not a room you'd want to hang out for any length of time. Very thin walls separating the rooms so that we woke in the middle... more

Great Stay!

I side with those folks who had a good stay at this Best Western. For my wife and myself it scores high in every category. First is location. It is a small hotel in the heart of the Independence District. It is a short walk to Independence Hall and many of the historical attractions. It is also in the center... more

The five of us booked a suite overlooking the street. It was roomy, clean and worked perfectly for us. The breakfast is a bit underwhelming, but everything else worked fabulously for a family history vacation. All of the most popluar locations are within easy walking distance and the desk staff is very helpful and well-informed. We even left the our... more

Was very impressed by the hotel - location was ideal for tourism! Restaurants all around, site-seeing, etc. Sleeping room was tiny, bathroom was nice and big though (odd combo, but we spent very little time in the room!). Free breakfast was very good - get there early or you'll have to wait for the Belgium waffle maker! Sarah, who worked... more

We stayed at the Best Western recently to tour the historic section of Philly. The location is great but the rooms are small, and overall the hotel was not very clean. The carpets throughout were filthy and the only stairway looks like it hasn't been cleaned in 20 years. We had to request clean pillowcases since they had been used... more

This hotel is located right near the historic area of town. The location could not be more perfect. Everything we wanted to see was a short walk away. This was nice since we were traveling with a 9 and 11 year old. There was a pizza place that had pizza for the kids just a few buildings toward the river.... more

This is a great family hotel. Our kids loved that each morning they could go and make their own breakfast. They loved the liberty bell waffles. Which were truly great since we were going to see the Liberty Bell. Our rooms were wonderful and clean and the service was excellent. The hotel is close to all the sites we wanted... more

This was a great hotel for location and convenience but we found once we got back that that a couple of our credit card numbers were stolen and used in the area the weekend we were there. The cards never left the room so hotel staff who came in took the information. So if you plan on staying here, do... more

This was my first time in Philadelphia. I was attending a USDA Graduate Training Session. When I made my reservations, I was not ever told that the hotel did not have on site parking, but it is 1.5 blocks away from the hotel. My window was a view of a BRICK WALL. The room was very small and the bathroom... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for New Year's Eve in Philadelphia and had a great time. Every member of the staff we spoke to at all shifts was friendly and helpful, with the evening staff even pulling strings at Spazzo to get us a last-minute table. The rooms are small, yes, but they are clean and in very good... more
