This hotel was pretty tired with few amenities. It is in a very unusual location sandwiched between two historical sites (an early quarantine hospital that was a pre Ellis Island place to process immigrants in the nineteenth century and a site commemorating an early Swedish settlement in the area). The hotel itself however, is dominated by a huge and very ugly parking lot. It is right next to the Delaware River but apparently no architect was involved in its design because there is not a single window facing the river or the nature preserve that is on the other side! No breakfast, obviously PLENTY of parking, a good location to get into Philadelphia but very few dining options in the immediate area. Very basic and not all that clean...

Checkin: The receptionist couldn’t find our reservation when we first arrived. I confirmed the last name and she said she had nothing. When I asked her if she would like my Expedia confirmation number she said ‘no, I can’t look it up by that’. I gave her my phone to show her the reservation and she was able to find it. Keys: Only one of the two issued keys worked. Room: The heat was on when we walked in, it’s June. Body wash container was empty. Brown stains on the side of the bed we don’t notice until it was time to check out. “Breakfast”: absolutely horrendous, terrible, disgusting. Dry, old, stale mess. For over $250 dollars for a night and off the beaten path just go somewhere else.

Shuttle was prompt for pick up at airport. Easy check in with kind staff. Busy day with lots of flights cancelations due to weather. We did lose power in the hotel for awhile this evening.

Well, I wasn't feeling good & my grandsons took the ice bucket tray to bring me breakfast & was told that's not allowed. So my husband went and made two trips. Overall, he should have allowed them to bring me breakfast on the ice bucket tray. ;)

First, let me say that the desk manager was very polite and helpful. We checked in to our first room (101) but there were no lights or power. The second room smelled of a foul odor but we were tired so we did not complain. What infuriated us was that someone (housekeeping?) entered our room the next morning unannounced while my wife was dressing! Unbelievable! I am not a YELP guy but I will tell all my friends and family to keep away from the Holiday Inn Express in Essington!
