Stayed at the Crowne Plaza when visiting Philadelphia for the Dad Vail Rowing Regatta. Good location, room was clean, bed very comfortable. Only one complaint - the wait to check in was long due to high volume and only one person working the desk. I had arrived earlier but was told I could not check in until 4 PM. When... more

My family and I stayed here when we went to meet our adopted daughter for the first time. We were excited and since we had never been to philadelphia we thought that i would be safe to stay here. Rooms were very nice and there was nice indoor pool. The problem came in when we wanted to bathe our kids... more

The renovations done, I was pleased to return to this hotel after staying 3 times previously in the last couple of years. The bar/restaurant area are much improved as are the rooms with all the usual Crowne Plaza creature comforts. Best surprise was to receive a large plate of fruit (grapes/melon) and cheese and biscuits in my room on arrival.... more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! We gave this hotel a second try after a disastrous trip in Sept. 08 where they gave our rooms away, forced 4 people to share a room with only 1 king bed and a sofa, and most terribly of all... separated us by 6 floors from our elderly and needy relatives, one of whom has Alzheimer's... more

When I had arranged my stay at the Crowne Plaza, I had not realized Philly was in the midst of the World Series. Despite the heavy influx of guest and events at the Crowne, the staff was remarkable. The concierge services are excellent. The front desk clerks were attentive and very helpful and the accomodations were perfect. As a business... more

This wasn't an outstanding hotel, but it was decent for the price. Because of the price it seems to cater to noisier guests. When I was there it included several large groups of college kids for a rowing competition and another group of high school or college-aged kids for some other sort of club activity convention. The rooms seems to... more

My wife and I went down to Philly for the Red Bull Soapbox Derby. The hotel had very good reviews on Orbitz so we decided to book it. I'm a sucker for the hotel rewards programs and here it paid off. I signed up at the desk and got upgraded to a second floor room. It was brand new! Amazing... more

Two words - STAY HERE!! Location was perfect, hotel was well decorated and the free High speed was awesome! The only hotel I could find with free parking in or around the city! more
