A Birthday Bash

The location was perfect, all the family stayed Eddy's, Krupas, Conroys and because it was so well planned I didn't know they were in the same hotel. The staff never let on so many were there, and helped make our celebration fantastic.

Good Stay

I have stayed at this hotel before. It's right next to the Reading Terminal Market and the shopping mall. It would be a long walk to the historical attractions though. The hotel is clean, staff is professional...everything is up to the Hilton standard.

A smelly stay in Philly!

While our experience was just an ordinary overnight hotel stay to go shopping the hotel was a great location. The bad thing was the room had a moldy, moth smell in it and it was very dusty as if no one has pledged in months on the nightstand,clock,and lamp area. So bad that it caused my 3 year old a nose bleed in the middle of the night. We also experienced poor customer service due to the fact that the hotel asks for a $50 deposit at check in which will be returned once you check out. We checked out and forgot to ask for our deposit back and didn't realize it til the next day. I called numerous times to the hotel which is long distance for me and have spoken to administration who claim they will mail us a check and we have still not received our $50.00 and its been over a month now! Also the pool is "very small"!!

Great location, friendly staff

Our hotel experience was very positive. The staff was friendly. The hotel was very clean. We had a suite and the room was smaller then I expected. The pool and work out center was very well-maintained. The location of the hotel was great for us being it was close to the bus and train station.We parked our car in the Convention Center parking lot attached to the hotel which worked out well. Chinatown was around the corner with a great selection of meals. Overall, we were very pleased.

A great place to stay, overall.

We arrived at the hotel and had no problems checking in, the staff were very friendly. Arriving at 7:30pm, the desk clerk made sure we knew that the restaurant would close at 9:00pm. Personally, I feel that time is a little too early - 11:00pm would be better and is what I'm more used to, but perhaps it's a Philly thing. We dropped off our stuff at the room and ran out to get some grub and some booze. LOTS of restaurants within walking distance, especially if you head towards the city hall (to the west about 3-4 blocks). Good location for some good grub. The next morning we were doing some sightseeing and walked over to Liberty Hall and the Old City Hall area. Our hotel directory helped us figure out the best places to head (a sightseeing list!) and we got to see some great american history. Again, all within walking distance of our hotel. Oh, and there's this great food market right next door, also. Get some yummy Amish Hand-rolled donuts! The only upsetting part about the hotel was the pool and hot-tub. Both seemed to be incredibly murky and the tile was a bit too dirty for my taste. Both could use quite a bit of cleaning.

VERY NICE!

THE HILTONGARDEN INN IN PHILADELPHIA WAS A VERY NICE HOTEL FOR THE MONEY.THE ROOMS WERE CLEAN AND THE STAFF ALL AROUND WAS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. THE LOCATION WAS PERFECT FOR ANYONE WHO HAD TO BE IN MIDTOWN PHILLY FOR ANY REASON, BUSINESS OR PLEASURE, CHINATOWN AND CONVENTION HALL IS RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR. MY ONLY GRIP WAS THE BAR DID NOT HAVE FAVORABLE HOURS,OPEN TOO LATE AND CLOSE TOO EARLY,SO BRING YOUR OWN. LOTS OF ICE AND SODA. BAR DRINKS ARE EXPENSIVE,DUH!VISIT PHILLY QUITE OFTEN AND STAYED AT MOST HOTELS. THIS IS DEFINITELY IN MY TOP FIVE.
