We stayed at the Doubletree for a wedding. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The complimentary cookies are a nice touch and delicious! They were starting to renovate the hotel the day after we left. We stayed in a King with sofa, the room was large and the bed comfortable. Wifi was free and the connection was great, we didn't have any problems with it. The shower pressure was good, but if you are over 5'6" you'd find it difficult to get under the shower head. All in all the hotel is fine.

Hi- I stayed at this hotel in June 07 and my experience was pretty positive. The room was very large, we had a king bed with a pull out; the room was clean and comfortable and hotel staff were nice. If you are coming to Philadelphia for the tourist experience, I would stay in one of the downtown hotels. But if you need to be in Northeast Philadelphia- close to the turnpike, Sesame Place, etc, I think this is actually a pretty good choice. In this area, there are a few Holiday Inns, a Radisson, a couple of lesser known chains and some independents- some of the independents are okay, others cater to the "day rate" crowd. The Doubletree is right on Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1), well within the City proper; the others in that Northeast hotel cluster are closer to the city border or in Bucks County. A word to first time visitors: the area is not at all tourist-y. it is a residential section and the hotels are surrounded by strip malls and shopping centers and tend to be on major highways. If you're looking for a vacation experience, look elsewhere; but if you're in transit or have business in the Northeast, I think this hotel is just fine,

Hotel is not like any Doubletree I have ever stayed at. Most are nice, but this one is outdated, old and in much need of improvemnent. Its obviously an attempted ronovation of an old hotel that they cut down the cost of the renovation drastically. The drians were slow to drain and had rings in the bathtub. The walls were very thin and you can hear ur neighbor talking on the phone. There was maybe one vending machine working in the whole hotel and it was out of beverages. the staff was not very friendly or accomodateable either.

Hotel is in a not so convenient location. I'd sent written requests before hand which were not acknowledged. Room seemed as though someone had been in it for a short time, then was not turned over. Three of the four glasses were really dirty, I do not mean not thoroughly cleaned, I mean used and not cleaned. There was lot of hair on the bathroom floor and in the shower. There was a sock that was left under the edge of the bed. The remote control did not work. I called the front desk about it, was put on hold, clerk did not pick back up. I had to call back. Maintenance man was nice and helpful. I put the card they provide on the bed (as it directs) requesting that the sheets be changed each of the two times the room was cleaned since the room seemed iffy when I arrived. Bed was made up, but linens were never changed. There was only one entrance to the hotel, which was a little inconvenient, since my room was as far as you could possibly be from the front door. To top it all off, the last morning of my vacation, trying to sleep in, I received a phone call waking me up at 8:30am (my alarm was set for 9 and no one had my number, so I did not answer the phone.) When I got up there was a letter which had been slid under my door from the manager stating the hot water was going to be turned off at 9am for maintenance. I found later the phone call at 8:30 was to tell me the hot water was going to be turned off at 9. Nice... I am not generally a picky person. I know you usually get what you pay for. It's for this reason I'm disappointed this upscale establishment came up so short. I would not stay here again. There are plenty of other places that are better for the same $ or less. I guess I should say something nice. The bed was comfortable.
