Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia City Center - Philadelphia 39.95383, -75.15791

Hotel was just fine, clean efficient, quite etc, but was not in a great location, and that rather jaundiced our view of Philadelphia. Felt reasonably safe in the environs, but it was a bit of a trek to either the station or the historical parts. Suggest that you try to get further south - unless of course you especially want to be near the wonderful Reading Terminal Market which is next door.

the hotel is walking distance to almost everything. Betsy Ross House, Chris Church, Franklin Institute and the museums. Right next store to the Redding Terminal for good food etc...

The hotel staff was very helpful and excedingly courteous. There were a few small maintenance problems with the room.

Great hotel in a very busy, centrally located area. We were readily able to walk to the market and visit historic areas. The rooms were surprisingly large and plush, given the reasonable price. We were initially given a room that smelled strongly of smoke, but the management quickly exchanged it for a new room. There is a pool, but it's tiny.

The hotel was what I expected, clean, comfortable, and convenient to restaurants (geat food in Chinatown) and the subway.

Excellent location, helpful and friendly staff, nice room.

The hotel was in the heart of the city, and very convient to public transportation. The staff was very kind, and pleasant. The room was very clean, and comfortable. The price for the room was awesome. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any and everyone.

We asked for a king, we got double queen. However, we paid less than the going rate for the downtown/convention center area. Overall, the room was very clean and the wi-fi was free.

I thought the hotel was a good deal for the price, however the parking was very expensive for the night ($25). The hotel was very close to center city and the surroundings bars.

It's a nice hotel, but nothing special. You won't be impressed at all with the amenities unless you've stayed at enough horrible hotels to be surprised that your room is actually clean with no broken appliances. The price you pay is for location, next door to the awesome Reading Terminal Market and convenient walking distance to everything (Chinatown, Independence Park, Walnut Street). My only real objection is that there is no hotel parking; you have to pay to park at the unrelated lot that shares the same building as the hotel (parking lot = floors 2-6, hotel = floors 1 and 7-12). The rates for parking are completely insane and the hotel doesn't validate. My recommendation is that you could probably shop price and get a better deal for a hotel elsewhere downtown, but you won't be upset if you do wind up staying here.

The hotel is near all of the places I wanted to visit. Everything was within walking distance. However, the a/c in my room was very loud and made for a less than perfect night's sleep. My bath tub had rust scratches but it was clean. The staff at this hotel was very friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions.

This hotel is located steps away from most of the historical city sites, as well as shopping and public transportation, and it is right next door to the indoor market which is fantastic! But, the neighborhood itself is pretty seedy. The rooms were advertised to be recently remodeled, but I wonder in what year, and the corridors were noisy at night. Despite this, and because of location alone, this hotel was a find.

The comforters and pillows were amazing, so soft and comfortable, I want to purchase some of the down blanket covers that they used. The desk pull out writing table was broken in such a way as it would slide out and knock me in the leg when I would touch the desk. There was rust in the shower. Refridgerator area needed some repair.

My first impression of Philadelphia was not a good one. However, once I got to walk around the city I realized that the hotel area was not a good representation of what Philadelphia was all about. The hotel area was terrible, dirty, ugly. I will not stay at this hotel again and don't recommend it to anyone.

Located in a busy dirty part of the city. Go a few blocks will get a better aera.

2nd time around the same as the first, excellent!!

I wasn't impressed with the conviences of parking. The pool wasn't very clean and wasn't much bigger than a single family backyard pool. The room the tiolet seat was coming off and was told there were no more rooms available. I wasn't impressed at night the lobby and outside had a lot of shady characters outside of hotel. The restaurant closed to early for guests.

The staff was so helpful, when we asked for an early check in, not only did they give us one, the very nice young lady at the desk put us in a larger room! Though I have stayed at much nicer hotels, I cannot remember the last time I was so pleased with hotel customer service.

The hotel was located near the Reading Market, which was the perfect place to have lunch everyday. The beds were very comfortable, and the mini refrigerators and microwaves in the rooms were a bonus. However, if you have night owls in the rooms near you, you can definately hear people in the hallways at night.

The hotel was nice but it was way overpriced. Though it is in the heart of downtown Philly, the local night life adjacent to the hotel when we stayd felt very unsafe. There were homeless and beggars hanging outside of the lobby all night - not sure if that is a daily thing or just random. The locaion was a little hard too find while driving, had to drive around a few times to find it (the entrance to the etire hotel is the size of small cornershop convieniance store). The location though is extremely convieniant to everything (next to chinatown, and a huge farmers market directly next to the hotel). Though the hotel does not provide complimentary breakfast, go to the farmers market -- huge variety of food and it is right overpriced liked everything else, but the great thing is that you could go in and out as much as you please.

The location of this hotel is great. Staff was friendly. Room was clean at a good price.

This hotel was very convenient for us, as we caught one of the Chinatown buses from Washington DC which dropped us off right across the street. We also appreciated having a laundromat in the hotel. We had some very noisy neighbors down the hall, but security did a good job of getting them to quiet down. The one thing that deserves mention, was when my wife looked for small detergent packs from the gift store and couldn't find any, the hotel manager heard about it, and personally bought us a container from a nearby CVS store and gave it to my wife for her to use. Wow! That's service!

If you go to the pool, it will be very hot and steamy, it is not very relaxing

We were checked in quickly. We detected a smoky smell in our non-smoking room, but the staff immediately changed us to a different room. The beds were very comfortable and we all liked the plush mattress top pad. We were only able to stay for one day, but this was a great location to walk to the Old City, Society Row and Chinatown. We were able to pack a lot of sightseeing into one trip!

As noted - nice hotel, friendly staff, comfortable beds, reasonably priced, great breakfast. Ok, so the Hotel was not in the most luminary locations, on a dark, back-end looking street near the convention center and China Town. Still, it was pretty close to everything Philly has to offer and was very reasonably priced for the area. I'd stay there again, but it's not for the "Ritz Carlton" crowd.

The hotel room was fine. However, the air conditioning unit was disturbingly loud. There were loud, drunk guests who carried on until 3:30 in the morning . This hotel is Not for families. Our children were kept up and learned several four letter words. Definitely a hotel for the young parting crowd. Not families.

From the monment we walked in and were greeted at the front desk, a very pleasant experience. Closeness to Reading Market was wonderful. We had a mini suite with 2 adults & 2 teenagers, it was perfect,very clean just a great room, will stay here again!! very convientent parking attached to the hotel with in & out privleges. Great Hotel!!!!!

from the staff, but I was not impressed with the area and the crowd outside the hotel. Luckily we only stayed 1 night.

The hotel was fine. No frills other than the plasma TV. A little expensive because it is located downtown. Could have used a complementary breakfast for this price.

This is the place to be when visiting Philly! Very clean and worth the price!

Central location with attached parking, though a bit pricey and not discounted for hotel stayers vs. non-hotel-staying persons. Room was clean, modern, comfortable, though we didn't have bath towels, which was purely an over-site, not a big deal. Would stay there again!

Great location and an easy walk to all Center City, Old City, and Society Hill locations. Room was very clean and spacious.
