There is water bottles provided in each lobby and it was such a walkable area! There is no parking on site because of how compact the area is, but there are plenty of areas to pay for parking."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasantly surprised. Everything was great, from location, to cleanliness, to amenities. Also very friendly and accommodating staff."

W Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"I absolutely adore the W hotel. The aesthetics is on point. Love the pool. I wish they would bring back the $20 Sunday funday that they had back during the pandemic times. The only thing that sucked was a fire alarm went off at like 5/6am . When you’re drunk as a skunk tryna get some shut eye in, it’s nothing like a alarm going off and now you gotta decide do you get up and leave the building or sleep through a potential fire cause you’re that tired. I’m sure that was a one off event but man it sucked . Other than that, I would recommend anyone comes here!"

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Centrally located for visitors attractions."
