We stayed only one night at this Holiday Inn Express, but it was a nice lodging choice for us. The lobby is quite small, but because we were with a large bus tour, we were not inconvenienced by any check-in wait. (Reps from the tour company ran that gauntlet and room keys were waiting for us on arrival). The food... more

My first impression of the neighborhood was not good, but it really grew on me through my stay. The hotel is old, but the room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool on the deck of the sixth floor was nice. The location was convienient to all of the downtown sites. We... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 days in late May. It is centrally located in downtown Philadelphia, an easy walk to most places that we wanted to visit. We also discovered that we could catch the Philly Phlash bus just 5 or 6 blocks away near the Reading Terminal Market. This is great for tourists as it makes a... more

For midtown Philadelphia, this place was cheap (as judged by today's inflated hotel prices, that is). The AAA rate for two persons in a two-bedded room was $134. The room was reasonably clean but with worn carpet and furniture. The shower flow was far less than I find satisfying. Free copies of the Philadelphia Enquirer were available daily. "Self-parking" next... more

My wife and I went to Philadelphia for a 3-night long weekend and I found a great rate for the HIE-Midtown via the Entertainment book. It has a very good location - only a few blocks from the historical sites - and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. That was good because we had to change our room after... more

Enjoyed a pleasant stay while attending a conference. Located mere blocks from the conference center and historic neighborhoods. Plentiful restaurants and bars nearby. Rooms and hallways smelled of new carpet and were very clean. Free continental breakfast was better than expected. I would definitely stay here again. more

Through an organizational affiliation, I got a room for $99. This was a steal! The hotel rooms was FANTASTIC. The bedding grand. The hotel exterior and lobby were not a reflection of the comfort within the room. I really liked it. I have stayed at Hiltons and found the rooms very comparable to the rooms at this holiday inn express.... more

Upon arrival, the front desk staff were extremely unpleasant, no smiles, no introductions. We were charged an additional $10.00 because there were two of us in the room! I have never heard of such a thing! We took the elevator to the 17th floor. Walking down the hallway, there was a strong odor. The hallway looked extremely “tired” and it... more

The hotel was generally decent but its major advantage was its location in Philadelphia. The staff was not rude but neither were they friendly. It was worth the money though. more
