Check in was fine. Staff were the best part of the stay. Polite, responsive, and this includes every level of staff except one parking attendant. When we checked into to our reserved smoke free room for two days we had to sign an agreement to not smoke otherwise we agreed we may incur charges for cleaning. When we entered the room we were immediately hit with a wall of heavy, dank, stale smell of cigarette smoke. The front desk said they could perhaps move us to another room tomorrow. We were busy with wedding stuff so not much time to deal with this. Then we found the air conditioner was not working. The room was warm that night. Maintenance came to check it and said the air conditioners do not work well when outside temperature is below a certain amount. It was in the 50's outside. But, an enclosed hotel room with large windows will get stuffy and warm. And, is that really how air conditioners work? The next day, wedding day, we got to pack up our stuff and carry it like homeless folks to a new floor. A room that smelled like a hotel room. Better. My compensation as an IHG member for this? A terrific thank you for staying at Holiday Inn Express. Well, you're welcome, I guess? Is it worth about $800 to stay in a Smokey, warm hotel room for one night then pack up to move to another room for one night? I'd have to say no. I think that's a reasonable conclusion. Holiday Inn Express in Midtown Philly amenities are highway motel level. And that's OK

So to kick this off, I have never been inside Philly for more than one night until this recent trip. This trip required me to find a hotel that was SECURE, as I was transporting two desktop gaming PCs, one being worked on at the hotel, the other got delivered in NJ. The hotel parking setup and everything did not disappoint, and the staff was very helpful. As for the hotels location, it got a 3 star on location due to...well, it's inside the city, it's noisy as hell and everyone is using their horns during the night. That's the only downside. As for the room I was in, the bathroom was just TOO small to use. For someone big and at 6'3" it was rough to use the toilet all the time, it was like fitting in an NASA escape capsule. Getting in and out during the visit was straight forward with the staff running the parking garage. I would advise making sure your parked against the walls, so you can keep the keys. If your going to be blocking others in, they will need your keys in case you need to move it. Overall, out of 5 stars I'm giving it a 4

Not Great, Served Its Purpose

So a couple things about this stay - first off, they don’t advertise ANYTHING prior to your stay. How much MANDATORY parking is ($39 a night) or the fact that they don’t take certain types of card payments. One of which being the way I was planning on paying. Luckily, I was able to transfer money to my husband to officially pay for the room since we traveled out of state with no other means. Then. Night one. We get stuck in the elevator for a hot minute. Super scary. Same elevator went out of commission as well during my 2 night stay. Going from expecting less than $480 for my 2 night stay to paying $600 was a major blow that caught me off guard. With all of that being said, the location of the hotel was perfect and it served its purpose for sure. Just was not as advertised with other issues to go with it

We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and it is in a nice area of Philly. The pool is nice. It happened to be a little cool for August, so we didn't stay in the water long, but it would be great if it was hot out.

I liked the hotel, loved the pool, the staff could be better though. The guy at the front desk was a bit rude and one of the housekeeping staff sucked their teeth when I asked for a roll of toilet paper. Other than that, the breakfast was phenomenal and the pool was nice.
