    There is no off street parking. And that is not listed on the website. You can pay 60 bucks to have the hotel “valet” you car in their parking lot but you can’t park there just as a guest or they will tow you.

    Hotel was nice, clean, and modern. Staff was friendly.

    Our room was very quiet for center city.

    We liked that the hotel was located close to what we came to Philadelphia to see and that is is moderately priced.

    On Friday morning we gave our Valet ticket in at 8:25am and waited 20 minutes to get our car. Very frustrating, and the fd agent said “He’s the only one here, we have someone else coming in.” Inadequate staffing left a very sour taste after an otherwise pleasant stay.

    1. Front desk service was sketchy. Long wait…one clerk way too chatty about everything with every guest while a long line of people waiting to check in or out or ask a question. 2. I found used packets of toiletries on the side of the tub. It did not inspire a certainty of the tub’s cleanliness. I was assured by clerk at check-out that she would follow up and contact me. It did not happen.

    The breakfast was excellent. However, I was told at check-in that breakfast was included. I had paid extra for it when I reserved online. The bed was comfortable.

    Our first room was very small dark and cramped. When we were given another room, it was great.

    We were extremely disappointed with our first room but when I addressed my concerns with Antonio he made it right. I have been a Hilton Honors member for years and my first choice when I travel is always a Hampton Inn. This really could have gone either way but the way Antonio handled it reassured me that Hampton Inn will always be my first choice. He is an asset to your organization.

    I had two bookings, one that i cancelled which clearly says cancellation is free and received a confirmation email for the cancellation and the second booking was for my 2 nights stay. When i checked in I was told by the staff that I will be charged for the cancellation because it wasnt cancelled on their end. I was trying to explain and was showing the email of my cancellation but staff wasnt even interested in looking or checking, he just said i will still be charged. Because we were too tired from the long drive, i didnt want to argue that time and just decided to speak to a manager or supervisor when i check out. Good thing when i checked out, the staff that time was nice and checked my booking and said I was not charged. I didnt have any other issues with our stay except for that staff who doesnt deserve to be on the front desk. Front desk staff should be accommodating to guests because they are the ones who welcome guests during their stay.

    Proximity to tourist destinations.

    Mostly unfriendly lobby staff, indifferent to guests. We had to ask for housekeeping, but they forgot; or said that we were not on the list. We asked to be on the list, but they would forget. The five nights stay had only one day of cleaning. Surprisingly, they organized a housekeeping parade during the breakfast, it was pathetic, they did not deserve compliments. One day, the lobby staff said that they would remove the water to avoid guests from getting free water to pay for the bottled ones. Coffee was predominantly cold.

    Conveniently located

    They provide breakfast but they did not make a restock of food in the last 30 minutes, so the ones that came to eat in the last 30 minutes had fewer options (no hot breakfast available). Furthermore, they started cleaning the breakfast area before 10 AM. As such, if you'd like to have all the breakfast options and enjoy your breakfast, I suggest going early. There are elevators, but you have to wait a few minutes before they arrive. Using the stairs is not possible, as such everybody is obliged to take the elevator and wait even if they are at the first or second floor. The parking is quite expensive ($57/day). There's a valet that takes care of parking your car and bringing it back to the hotel when you need it.

    The hotel was centrally located and was easy to reach the touristic sites by foot. Chinatown is also close by.

    The staff had so much attitude and were absolutely insensitive. We went to the pub in the hotel for dinner and waited almost an hour and a half for three meals that were cold and not cooked. Only two out of three elevators were working so many guests were frustrated. And the second day, the food order never came in so there was no hot food and the hotel ran out. The front desk and pub staff were rude and didn’t direct us to a manager when the housekeeping manager was on site all weekend (found out upon checkout when we tried one last time to speak with a manager).

    The only good thing about the hotel was the room
