Not a great experience

We stayed at this hotel to have a close proximity to both the Wells Fargo and the Reading Terminal Market. At first the staff were friendly, but when asked for help with towels, linens for the fold out bed, or anything other than check in they became very rude. Whenever we tried to call the front desk no one answered the phone. The water pressure in the shower was awful, we were out of conditioner from day 1 and the room itself was supposed to be set up with pots and pans, cleaning materials and free water. We had none of those things.

I had an amazing one night stay at this property. The parking is a huge issue, and not everyone wants to use the valet.. you’re in downtown Philly maybe invest in some parking spots or buy spaces from the city so people can park around your building without risk of being towed. My only the complaint was the lack of attention at the pool when over 15 kids were in the hot tub and multiple younger ones flooding the floors with water and running all around the pool, several of them fell and no one came to mediate the situation. Howver this hotel was immaculate, a great location, nice staffing, very quiet for being in the city and in great walking distance to a lot around the area! Great job overall!

The place was dirty. We did not have any soap or shampoo in the room, even after I requested the cleaning lady for some, for the duration of our 2-day stay. I booked for 3 people but there were only 2 towels in the room when we arrived. The vanity lighting was dark and the sink was clogged. The only saving grace were the valet guys. They were very patient and helpful.

Went to check in At 420pm. Only 1 of the 2 rooms reserved was ready and no ETA when the other room would be ready. Asked for some sort of compensation, like the $45 parking fee. Lee M. Supervisor said she couldn’t only her general manager could and she wouldn’t be back until Monday. On Friday at 1043 am I requested for rooms to be located near each other and the young lady told me she set it up. However at check in I was told the rooms were on different floors. I went back and forth with her respectfully for 10 minutes as I felt she was being dismissive. We had arrived from Va with my 80 year old mom in tow. Tired and needed to be at an event by 6. That did not happen thanks to Homewood Suites staff. I requested a refund and again was told she could not. Then after requesting to speak with her superior several more times Lee M gave me a refund. Inconsiderate staff even though they were the cause of inconvenience, at 435, I was told room was still not ready and they still didn’t have an ETA

This hotel failed miserably in the very important details. i stayed for nine nights my room was only serviced twice and that only happened when I called. Breakfast was shut down early without prior notice one day. upon arriving in our room there were numerous dirty spots all over the room. including uncleaned liquid spills of God Knows what in clear and obvious places 4 days out 9 the water did not get sufficiently hot in the shower the eggs at breakfast often tasted spoiled, old or miscooked. finally and worst of all, the hotel allowed smoking on the floors in the rooms that leaked into the hallways and into our room I will never stay in that hotel again.

I booked a room online on Saturday to attend a funeral being held on Friday. Our stay was scheduled to start Thursday and check out Friday. Online it stated I wouldn't be charged until check in and gave me a conformation for my room. On Tuesday I received an email stating my stay wasn't guaranteed now without payment DESPITE everything listed on their website in multiple places. I reached out to the hotel and they said what I saw online was no longer valid despite me reading VERBATIM what was still in front of my face and they now needed FULL payment to reserve my room. I told them I wasn't comfortable paying in full without having actually stayed yet and offered to pay partial, after quit a few "let me place you on hold"s they said a partial payment was fine. Wednesday I get an alert that they were trying to charge two separate cards WITHOUT my approval for the remainder amount owed, luckily I lock my card just incase of situations like this. I reached out to them AGAIN and now they're telling me they once again need full payment to hold my room, I reminded them of the partial payment agreement and they said it was no longer valid ONCE AGAIN. After they realized I was NOT going to cave, they then said the partial I already paid was actually fine. Once we arrived (at 1:15 AM Friday morning) we were told we could only valet park, which was $45 for 24 hours. Given that we arrived at 1:15 AM Friday that would have us in the clear until 1:15 AM the next day, because thats how 24

Disappointed with having to pay $45 a day to park.

We didn’t spend much time in the hotel because my father was having heart surgery done. But the time that we did stay there to sleep and have breakfast was ok. We had to wait 45 minutes for towels and the breakfast was not so great. But the hospital that my dad was in recommended this hotel so we stayed there. It was $245 a night and we had to pay $45 a day for parking which I believe that if you are a guest for the hotel it should be included. The staff was very nice. But dry out pull pork for breakfast is not something that I would want for breakfast. Our door was very hard to close and also to open I did report it to the front desk.
