Allow me to start off that this was my first and last stay with the Hilton. I always take a black light with me to ALL hotels I stay in. There was a film on the toilet seat lid, you could see the previous persons finger marks from putting the lid down. Dink wasn’t clean. The only thing clean in that bathroom was the tub and some of the floor. Thankfully we were only there for one night. In the morning when I checked out the woman that I was working with was rude and refused to answer my question. I clearly misheard the first women on the day of check in that the $50 I was paying was for a “security deposit” when I got my receipt for for valet and the early check-in, I didn’t see said charge and was confused. I asked her what it was and to if she could explain. I was told “is all on that receipt” I said “no it’s not and that’s why I’m so confused” she proceeded to look at me like I was absolutely insane and then repeated herself. $600 for a one night stay at this hotel to for someone to be ignorant and not do their job. The first two times I asked I not rude or ignorant, not until the third time when she literally kept repeating that it was all on the receipt. Never again. I’ll still with the Marriott Bonvoy, better prices, better rooms, better staff, and better price.

Customer service with a smile and a willingness to assist was a key characteristic of everyone who greeted us when we arrived at this property; the valet service was prompt and our check-in/check-out was attentive to our needs. The ladies handling the breakfast area were friendly and helpful with our need to get in/out pretty quickly on our departure morning. We would stay here again.

5/5 hands down!

We visited Philly for one night. The hotel is within the city campus of UPEN away from the noisy and sometimes overwhelming city center. Perfect location, great hotel, great staff! The restaurant on the first floor (Louie Louie) is also very convenient and has great food. DEFINITELY coming back and staying here again.

I had a great stay! The hotel was very clean, and the staff made the experience even better. Maxx at the front desk was super friendly and helpful with everything we needed. The gym was fantastic—definitely one of the better hotel gyms I’ve seen. Also, shoutout to Luis from valet parking! He was so friendly and even remembered us from last year, which made us feel really welcome. Highly recommend this place!

This is a very nice hotel which feels like it is right on Penn's campus. My one big complaint is the wood frames around the bed. They stick out SOOO far that myself and both of my two children got serious bruises during our ONE night stay. The interior designer should be forced to sleep in one of these beds for the rest of their painful lives!
