Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue
The pool was cold as it took a while to heat up after they said it was fixed the week before. We also asked to get our sheets changed and didnt look like they did it. Also had to ask for toilet paper since they didnt leave any. Not great stay

Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue
The room wasn’t ready when we arrived after check in time but it was only about a 20 minute wait for it. The valet scolding me for being parked out front while we waited was annoying but understandable I suppose.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Philadelphia-City Avenue
The bathroom had mildew in several places. There was no coffee in my room. The tables in the lobby were sticky and gross. We were not informed about breakfast availability and times. Parking should be included in the price of a room.
