Great Stay, Good Value for Location

My stay here was great, less than 24 hours. The river view I had from my room was amazing!!! The bed was super comfortable and the room was quite clean with no serious issues (there was an eyelash? an hair? on the other queen bed in the room when I checked for bedbugs). Bathroom was neat and the mini fridge was clearly taken care of. The hotel is currently undergoing a renovation in the upper floors so be aware that noise may be higher than normal. It took a little while for the hot water to get hot in my shower but I figured it was just due to the construction so no big deal. Noise from other guests was louder in the halls but once in my room, it was relatively quiet. Breakfast was pretty decent with a fancy pancake machine that made some good ones. And the staff was literally so kind (even to people who did not deserve kindness based on how they acted). As for parking, the way to get into the lot was confusing but the attendant (?) gave me very clear directions that made it less confusing. BE AWARE THE PRICE FOR PARKING IS ACTUALLY $37. When you check in and give them a card for the $50 incidentals fee, they let you know that the $37 will come out of the $50 and you’ll be refunded the remaining $13 (should you not party like a rock star lol). Overall, the place is great stay for a few nights and was great value for the price. It’s located on the edge of Old City. I highly recommend exploring the area as it’s so nice. And you should watch the sunrise on Race St Pier!!!

I had booked a King bed, River view room. Two weeks before check in, I call the hotel to confirm. Which they did and even promised a room on either floors 5 or 6. Cause the top two were being remodeled. We show up and are told we will be getting a queen bed room, but we should be ok with that because we are being upgraded to a river view. After 30 minutes of saying we only had reserved a standard king room, we went to our room on the 2nd floor. The view of the river (the view could be obstructed by holding a pencil at arms length in front of you). At check out we are then told we did reserve a king bed river view, but we would have our $25 dollar parking for free. But I still have to pay extra for a room I didn’t get. Thank you holiday inn express penns landing for the memories.

The staff at this hotel were extremely kind and made check in very easy. Our neighbors were noisy, but can't really do too much about that given you're in a large city. Overall, we plan to return here for the nice rooms and friendly staff the next time we make our way back to Philadelphia.
