We went to Philadelphia to see the Barnes exhibit and have dinner at the City Tavern. We wanted a suite hotel since we were traveling with our adult children. The rooms were clean with adequate space, but in the first room we were given, the circuit breaker on the thermostat kept tripping so we were without heat. The second room,... more

I've stayed here many times. Received one of the newly renovated rooms. The biggest upgrade is to the bathrooms, which really needed it. Yes, there are a few nagging problems here, such as the slow elevators. But this place has a lot going for it. Perfect location, right on the parkway, across from the magnificent basilica, views of the art... more

This hotel is an Embassy Suites. That name used to mean quality to me. I am a frequent traveler and have enjoyed ES establishments in the past. However, I took my family to this Philadelphia property and was appalled at the condition of the rooms. The bedroom door was missing chunks of wood from it as though it had been... more
