Rodeway Inn Philadelphia - Philadelphia 39.94896, -75.16093

Great location in the center of the city. Room was small, but comfortable. Staff was very friendly.

Inside the hotel, it is fairly quiet, but right outside it is very noisy all night long with young yelling teens, two helicopters seemingly landing right on the building. (They didn't) Trucks, backing up sirens, passing cars echoed right into the sun rising. My room was on the second floor facing the street. (Do not take it: Room 200!) The curtain closed from the left side and right, but the middle section had no dark curtain, but only a thin white one. Neon lighting from close-by kept the room semi light, semi dark. The wireless internet connection was weak. I had to eventually go down to the lobby to use my lab top. And my pillows were hard. The bed was a full size, not a queen. Nice people there, but the hotel is rundown with need of improvements big time.

The building is quite old and small but the room was very clean and comfortable. The elevator is an antique but serviceable.

Fantastic location!!! We were able to walk to most of the tourist destinations. The staff was really helpful and friendly. We would stay there again!

Not the best & not the worst. For the money this was an OK hotel to stay at. We just needed a place to shower & rest & this was the place. Great food nearby & even across the street. This hotel sure had some character. Very small room, very vintage elevator, slanted floors, breakfast was enough to get us going in the morning. Parking was very cheap.

Our room was very comfortable, with two Queen size beds, which is really valuable when travelling with a friend. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast is not very good however, with bad coffee from Starbucks, a very limited choice of food and a depressing atmosphere in a room with TV shouting.

Very nice location close to almost every thing, the room was confortable and the stuff helpfull. We enjoy our stay.

Hotel is in the city near restaurants and transportation. Room isn't all the big, but it has all the basics...frig, microwave and in room safe. I would stay here again.

Space is at a premium, so you won't have pacing room in your rooms. The elevators is quite small, surrounded by the stairwell. One problem: No ESPN on the cable. It was the third Saturday in college football season, and local channels carried Mid American Conference (MAC) football.

Loved the area and overall hotel. Plumbling needs work-very low water pressure and a sink that drained very slowly. Other than that, very enjoyable

The bed and pillows were outstanding, esp considering this is a 2 star hotel. The room at the back of the hotel was very quiet and we got an excellent nights sleep. The rooms are small and not fancy but it's a good, central location and an interesting neighborhood. There is also a discount for the parking garage across the street.

The hotel was great. The room was nice and clean and all the staff gave lots of kindness and respect to guest. The hotel is walking distance to many nice shops and great places to eat. I recommend Rodeway Inn if you're planning a trip to Philly and want a nice hotel in the heart of downtown.

The people at the hotel front desk were very nice. They over booked the hotel so we were given 2 rooms on the 7th floor instead of our double room. The 7th floor may be the forgoten 2 rooms of this hotel. We had no water pressure at all. I mean none. It took an hour to take a shower. My wife and I were verry upset. The hotels only other saving grace is the location. With in walking distance to all of Phillys best.

The hotel was a good price. Close to all the attraction of Philly. It's has an old charm to it. The elevator has doors that you have to manually open but we liked it. You don't see many old hotels anymore but with all the modern items you need. Didn't have its own parking but there was a parking garage across the road and the hotel gave a discounted rate of $10.50. Definately would stay there again.

Room amenities were good. But the toilet was not good. Front desk was courteous.

Our visit was just what was the needed. it was very close to all our destinations (within walking distance) The staff was friendly & very accommodating. As we have family we will definitely be back to stay here!

Our stay was outstanding. The staff, mainly Brandi, was wonderful. She was attentive and very helpful with the area and suggestions. The location was perfect for walking distances to anything you needed or to see. The room wasn't large but it was perfect for a couple. The breakfast was great every morning. For the price of the room and parking, you could not get a better set up. If ur looking to save money but be right near everything you'd like to see or do, I'd recommend this hotel.

The location is fantastic. Facilities and quality of the room exceeded expectation. Staff was helpful. The only downside is that hotel-provided wireless internet access is only available on some floors. However, you can still tap into our network.

i didn't expect much for the money i paid but it was quite a nice hotel indeed. the room is clean, you have access to the internet and you have breakfast too...

A traveling couple can sum up this vacation in two words...abso lutely!!!! p.s. only downside was the microwave was broken =(

Room was small but great for a reasonably priced place to spend the night. Was a great base for exploring the historic area of Philadelphia.

The location is very accessible to many of the major attractions. Bus service is good, going to and from the airport was quite easy due to the subway station at Market East was only a few blocks away in walking distance. Many ethnic restaurants such as Middle Eastern and Indian. There is a nice Chinese massage place on the same side as the hotel is -can't remember the name-just one block from the hotel on Walnut Street in Suite 301 in the building- and I enjoyed the massage thoroughly. Everything was close by.

Small, clean rooms. Can walk to downtown attractions, restaurants. Excellent service.

I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. The front desk employees were very friendly and helpful. My room was much larger than I had anticipated and was clean. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. A computer with internet access is available in the lobby. Breakfast was satisfactory but not a wide variety and little in the way of protein - milk/juice/coffee, a couple of cereal selections, bread/muffins/bagels, light yogurt, and boiled eggs (cold). The room is not individually climate controlled but my room was very comfortable. There was a coffee maker and mini fridge with 2 complementary waters in mine (also a variety of extra toiletries), a small but nice touch. It was on the front of the hotel on the sixth floor overlooking the street and you could hear some traffic noise and, more importantly, on the first night there were people yelling at each other very loudly on the street. However, I did not feel the noise was any louder than one would expect in a major city center and I had no problems falling asleep. The elevator is tiny and for claustrophobic types might be a bit much. I thought it was kind of neat, but getting in and out on the bottom floor is a little strange so I always entered/exited on the second floor. The hotel is is a great city center location near historic venues, shopping, good food, and night life.

I really enjoyed my stay here, good service and tended to needs fast. The only faults is the walls are a little then and traffic and other rooms could be heard. Overall though it was a very satisfying stay for a good price. I recommend it.

This hotel is centrally located in the city and within walking distance to Independence Park, center city and even the Franklin Institute. It is an older hotel that was refurbished recently. Our room had two queen sized beds and extra room to move around. Our daily breakfast was very good. This hotel can be compared with smaller hotels you might find in Europe - quaint, with personality. Because of it's location, be aware that if you get the bigger room, it is located street side... and along with it comes the sounds/noises of the city.

Walking into the room, I was very impressed with the size and the cleanliness of it. I didn't expect it to have a 3+ star appearance since reviews I read from other people gave this hotel low ratings. Therefore, I was pleased initially on walking in. The few complaints I have are, first, the temperature of the room. I was staying with two other people and all three of us agreed that it was freezing in the hotel. We asked the front desk clerk if she could do something about it and she gave us a lackadaisical response. Nothing was done about that. The secondary complaint here is the attitude of the front desk employees. They were not very helpful or friendly-sounding when we called to ask questions or when we were trying to figure out how to use the elevator (which was very old and strange). They need to have more professionalism and patience with people. The last complaint is the water pressure. The water pressure in the shower was terrible. I think the faucet in the sink put out more water than the shower head. I'm not sure if this is due to the age of the hotel or something beyond their control, but it was my observation that this could probably be improved somehow. Aside from these things, if I were visiting the same area of town in Philadelphia, I'd probably stay at this hotel again if it were the same price or better.

For the price, this was a great hotel. Great location was the reason we booked and did not expect much from the room, but the room was very clean and comfortable. No complaints.

I loved the elevator. Its old and creeky but it gives character to the building. The location was great since its in walking distance to the historical features in Philly. Also, there's this great sushi restaurant next door and next to that is a delicious Indian restaurant. My friends and I could walk to shops, boutiques, restaurants, and lounges nearby. I was on a budget but the rates for the rooms matched my budgeting needs. I would definitely go back to experience it all over again. Ooo, did I mention the continental breakfast was cute and healthy.

The hotel was in a great location, staff was very friendly. The hallways and stair way are very cramped. The room is very basic for the price which is ok for a one night stay. The bed was very uncomfortable and the bathroom had a hole in the wall where little insects crawled out from. They tried to cover up the hole with towels but it was very unsightly and failed to keep the bugs out as we were greeted by a huge centipede. Didn't bother to complain as we were only in the room for a few hours.

We had an excellent stay! Staff was friendly and check-in and -out was speedy and easy. Hotel gives a reduced rate for the parking garage across the street, so that was a great surprise! Everything was very clean, but small. Didn't bother us at all, but the hallways and stairways are narrow, the sink and shower are small, and the room is big enough for the bed, dresser, and desk, but not much else. Two of us were only staying one night, though, so it was exactly what we needed! Area is great. Easy walking distance to convention center, lots of food, and Independence Park. Hotel is non-smoking so absolutely no stink anywhere! The small elevator everyone talks about was out of service while we were there, but walking up stairs never hurt anyone so it wasn't a problem. Would absolutely stay here again!

Location was good. We were given a room on the 3rd floor. The elevator was broken. A gentleman did offer to carry our heavy bags up. We had to fend for ourselves on check-out. We were 3 females 10 year old child, elderly lady and and an adult. At no time were we offered any kind of discount or any adjustment at all on the rate. We had paid in advance and were offered no help in finding other accommodations or told we could receive credit for the advance payment.

staff was friendly - incredibly helpful... however, the elevator was not working (again) - they had no expectation of it being fixed in the very near future... I have a weak ankle and three flights of steps were difficult to handle. Location was great - parking across the street was reasonable (for city parking). I would stay again, but only after calling to inquire about the elevators 1st.

The best thing about this hotel was it's location if you are wanting to see historical Philadelphia. The staff was nice too. Otherwise, it was a terrible stay. The room was over powered with room deodorizer, like they were trying to cover something up. The room did not have it's own climate control. The window in the bathroom did not lock. The room was extremely noisy. We heard everything from the street all night long. The elevator does not work and evidently the printer doesn't either, the front desk staff was not able to print our reciept at departure.

When I arrived, after checking in and getting situated, the clerk commented, "oh and by the way our elevator is broken and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Your room # is 505." The stairs were very narrow and unstable and made it more than an inconvenience, if I had not already paid I would have left and found something else. I have a feeling the elevator has been broken for a long time, because the stairs were very worn out and dirty. Also, the rooms have no A/C and really floppy mattresses. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

the elevator was damaged and they gave me a room at 4th floor. The room smelt awful, and wasn't that clean. objective comments that they can improve

This hotel was great, the staff was real friendly and helpful. The room had no ac or ceiling fan at it was hot and humid outside so it was slightly uncomfortable at night, the open window provided some relief. My daughter plugged her cell phone charger into an outlet we later realized did not work; we were charged a refundable fifty dollar deposit for items in the rooms refrigerator only to find it had two small bottles of water and nothing else; there was a coffee maker in the room and when i was prepared I turned it on only to find that it was not plugged in and from the dresser it sat on it's plug could not reach the near the floor outlet. After carrying the coffee maker around the room seeking another outlet I finally put it on the floor and plugged it in. The hotel served it's purpose; I only needed somewhere to crash over night and for the price I was alright with that.
