Old hotel with newly renovated rooms. Elevators take forever. We had dirty laundry in our room that they took away but didn't replace even after two requests. Broken coffee maker with no coffee cups. Crowded mediocre breakfast. Staff unresponsive and didn't care that we had no comforter. Complained this morning and manager gave us some of our Hilton points back. More

Dated rooms. No coffee mugs. No washcloths. Dated hotel overall. "cooked to order breakfast" is a buffet with and omelette station with long lines and inadequate seating. Talked to several hotel customers waiting in line and all were unhappy. More

I was traveling to Philadelphia to interview at Penn Med and was able to get a great deal at this hotel through Embassy Suites. Being a struggling student, I searched exhaustively for the absolutely best deals on car rental, hotel, and flights that I could find. While I was a little disappointed with the dated decor and worn-out appearance of... More

I recently stayed at this property on the 2nd half of a business trip. The room was large with separate bedroom. The hotel and rooms are a little dated, but not too different than most downtown hotels in the northeast. My room had a balcony, which was nice. I didn't make it to the gym, so I can't comment on...

The hotel itself was nice. Located near nice landmarks, and some nice restaurants, it was fairly convenient. The rooms were HUGE which gave the hotel a homey, non traditional feel that was comforting. The staff was so kind and friendly. I stayed there the wrong weekend though. The ILMUNC model UN conference was the same weekend I stayed, and it... More

At first I was not sure I was going to like this property at first glance, because of its untraditional building, but I was very wrong. Because of the building, the rooms are huge!!! There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The rooms were clean and appointed as Embassy Suites generally are. It is in a perfect... More

We loved the Hotel, my husband and two kids. Great location, and views. Our room was very spacious and have nice views from the living room and from the bedroom. We stayed at a 2 room double suite, city view. Very comfortable sheets to sleep in! Across the street there is a Subway Restaurant, and in the ground floor there... More

Very good experience at the Embassy Suites. Check in was quite fast, receptionist very cheerful and welcoming. Rooms are very spacious, with kitchenettes, living and dining area which are separate from the room. The hotel has TGI Fridays based at its lobby. As i was hanging my jackets in the closet, they got accidentally stained from some dry powder paint...... More

My wife, son and I stayed with her Brother's family to see a Sixer's game and explore the city. We walked to Reading Terminal for dinner where there are many selections. Then we took the Broad Street subway to the Game, which was easy and an experience for the kids. We had a great breakfast and saw the Mutter Museum,... More
