Stayed August 7/8th 2007, (stayed before). Staff is completely aggravated by every visitor and you can tell!! Same way my last visit. Everything is priced outrageously like a Four Seasons, but itd barely pass as a Super 8. The deck surrounding the indoor pool on the 4th floor is very cool. Especially if you want to sunbathe. The view of George Washingtons Delaware River is awesome. Your steps from the Ferry ride to Tweeter center. But there is such disdain for the visitor that it makes you depressed to be there. COMPLAIN about everything!!!! Dont settle for those stained floors, or the completely worthless Airconditioning, ( was sweating all night both nights, even with a changed room for better ac) If you like a cool room DO NOT book here. Definitely request RIVERVIEW. Just not worth it over 130.00 per night. Tell them you want 1 free breakfast when checking in just for the hell of it. Competent possibly, not friendly or helpful. Wont stay again unless I get 99.00 Hotwire like last time.

We stayed one night. Had been there twice in the last few years. Staff and view very nice. Hotel is starting to show some wear. A couple of chips in bathroom tile. Several stains on carpet in room. Older model TV. I am not very picky - but for price - feel like should be kept up. Pay $25 if want valet parking. Restaurant - some items good, others fair. Overall - pricey. I was a litle bit disappointed - but had a nice experience overall.

We stayed for 3 days staring on on July 3rd. If you stay on the city side, 18 floors or higher, you can see the fireworks that take place at the art museum. If you stay on the river side you can see fireworks that occur the weekend before or after the fourth.

Our room was beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The linens and towels soft. The room included a digital safe, an ipod docking radio (a plus for me), as well a great coffee.

The service was wonderful. The extra towels were delivered promptly as well as extra coffee for the little coffee maker they provide. I left a note asking for these items to be delivered each day and it actually happened!

The conceirge was well informed and helpful with suggestions, tips, and directions.

Parking is not included and they do have valet or self park. There is a pool and fitness room which we did not use but we say many families heading there.

All in all a great hotel and a wonderful stay!

Recently stayed @ this great property for my first time stay in Historical Philadelphia. Great rate direct from Hyatt with a AAA rate and complimentary breakfast. Had great view of city from 13th floor, clean and spacious typical Hyatt room. Friendly staff. Location is on the water and if you are able to walk, it is very easy to access everything. There is some shopping and action in Penn's landing itself, and walkways crossing over into Historical area. Also right down South Columbus Blvd you can easily cross over to "South Street" where you will find the most lively shopping, dining, and drinking area. It really is the place to be though we didnt spend too much time here. I plan on going back. From the Hyatt we walked into the Historical center and walked around Independence Hall, checked out the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, and were impressed with how clean and nice everything was, and how uncrowded the city is. Also there are hop on/hop off trollies circling all of the monuments and places to see for only $1 per ride, or $4 for an all day pass. This was great, and definitely recommended. In addition, all of these attractions are free !! We took trolly to Museum and "Rocky" stairs where we ran up and took pics of Rocky monument and footprints, then walked over to see Rodin's "The Thinker". The museum is pay what you want on Sundays which worked out well. Overall great hotel, very nice city with alot of amazing historical sites. Seems to be a growing city too, with some construction ongoing, and some buildings being restored. There are tons of small parks, monuments, and picture opportunities. ENJOY !!
