Hampton Inn Philadelphia Convention Center - Philadelphia 39.95597, -75.16062

free wireless. free printing. free breakfast. clean rooms. considerate staff. convenient location.

The hotel itself was fine and the rooms were clean and comfortable BUT there really doen not seem to be much staff at th hotel and the valet service was awful! They asked us to call down 20 minutes before we wanted the car, well almost an hour later we were fighting with the valets about where the car was and that we had tickets to an event that we needed to get to. The valets were not very apologetic either.

The hotel was clean and comfy. The staff was super helpful & friendly. I recommend NOT gettingthe valet, however. While the valet staff was great, it was much quicker to walk across the street to the do-it-yourself lot

I stay at Hampton Inn when ever possible. The room was as expected, very good along with the housekeeping, pool and spa. My only concern was I was told at the desk valet parking was $24 but the sign said $20.

The construction was very inconvenient in getting to the Convention Center. The room smelled like smooke (even though they told us it was a non-smoking room). They told us when we got there that they had no King rooms left so we had 2 queens. Mediocre service and very mediocre hotel.

Wow....the picture showing the outside of the hotel was misleading. This hotel is in a war zone. Closed up shops covered with graffiti, terrifying people on the sidewalks, the convention center across a very small street with massive construction going on.......horrible. Also, the $20 parking is an undersized lot with cars jammed right next to each other making it impossible to get your car out when needed. The attendant, who doesn't work for the hotel, pretty much ordered us to take a cab because it would take too long to move all of the other cars to get to ours. The hotel and the room were fine but the surroundings made this a terrible experience. Spend the extra $30.00 and stay in a better place......I wish I had read a review telling me to do the same.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The bed and bedroom in our suite was super but the sofa bed was quite uncomfortable, the telephone in the sitting room didn't work and the airconditioning in the bedroom didn't work (only the fan worked). We didn't want to call maintenance, because we didn't want to be disturbed. But we still enjoyed our stay very much. It was great to have the little kitchen with fridge, microwave and stove and dishes. - The location was wonderful!!

We were very comfortable during our stay for a week's show at the concvention center.

Having the construction block off the direct shot to the conference hotel (where my conference was) meant I had to walk by a homeless shelter which required using a taxi any night that I wanted to stay beyond nightfall. Had I known this, I would have just stayed at the conference hotel since, in the end, it resulted in not saving what I anticipated saving by staying slightly off conference site. Other than that, the stay was great. One caveat, the staff had a "discussion" in an open area about some staff issue with the breakfast folks. In my opinion, that discussion needed to be handled out of the eye and earshot of customers. Richard was the bright part of my stay there - he remembered me, was willing to go above and beyond what was clearly his call of duty to make sure I got what I needed, and was always cheery! The other staff were nice, what you would expect, but Richard was above nice, he seemed to go beyond expectation and have a genuine desire to make sure customers were welcomed!

This hotel was definitely a good value. The breakfast was free and very satisfying. Rooms clean and beds very comfortable. Location ok - just had to use the bus which we did not mind.

Overall, this was a good value. The location was good - construction there wont be there forever and wasnt much of a distraction for us- the taxi's had to go around- no biggie. The front desk and concierge staff were wonderful.

My friends and I stayed here for a week. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful (especially the night crew -- Jeffery, Karthryn, Jasmine, Raz!!!). Anything we needed we got. The breakfast was good everyday, especially the fresh fruit! There was construction across the street from our room and we could hear it but since we were up early every day it didn't bother us at all. Very near Reading Market Terminal and Jake's Pizza and City Hall. Clean, well-kept, super friendly.

The room was not spacious (as expected for central city), but they were clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is undergoing rejuvination; the convention center is expanding across the street. The staff was helpful although they had difficulty keeping the 3 computers in working order for the guests. Parking down the street was $20 per day. Jake's was 1 block away and had a very good cheesesteak. The only downside was that there were no stairs to the 2nd floor. Since my wife is afraid to use elevators, we had to take a roundabout way in and out of the hotel.

I could check in early. It is very convenient for me to travel with many bags. The clean room is amazing! Particularly, the bed is so soft and great! Additionally, the breakfast is quit nice. Further, the free wire-less service is good as well.

Excellent prompt service, great features such as pool and fitness center were well maintained with clearly marked hours of operation. The breakfast room was large enough to accommodate morning weekend crowds without feeling cramped. The room was clean and bright. Around the corner from SEPTA subway and two blocks from SEPTA regional rail. Though the area seems a little quiet at night, I felt safe returning close to midnight. Extremely convenient. Highly recommended.

For starters, there is no mention of the parking rates- which will increase the cost of your daily rate substantially. In addition, if you'd rather not have your vehicle left in a nearby lot (which does not have a gate of any sort), you can opt for the valet parking. When you choose to leave, make sure to allow 20 minutes or so in your planning for the tardiness of the valet company. The room was only minorly tidied after our first night- the comforter was pulled up and the trash cans emptied- even our sheets were not made on the bed. When we asked the front desk for modes of transportation to the Zoo, she responded that she didn't know how to get there and called the concierge- who took 20 minutes to get to the front desk and hand us a brochure with no additional insight into rates, modes, etc. At breakfast, the donuts were still cold from the freezer, the coffee was full of grinds, and the eggs were cold. The hotel sits on a one-way street adjacent to a construction site, so do not attempt to use mapquest directions to navigate from the site, as what we had were inaccurate. Our stay at this hotel will likely deter us from future trips to the greater Philadelphia area.

I asked the valet to have my car out front each morning at 7:30 am. The can was always there on time. There are lots of tables in the room where the free breakfast is served. Free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate is available 24 hours in the breakfast room. I took a couple of hot chocolate envelopes to my room and made it in the coffee maker.

I was very impressed with the hotel staff-they gave directions, called a taxi etc. and were very professional. Make sure to use the valet parking as parking is at a premium at this location. Overall, if you are planning a visit to Philadelphia and would like a hotel that is 'in the heart' of the city so-to-speak, this is the hotel to stay at. Perfectly located and within a short walking distance or taxi ride to most points of interest in Philly.

We loved our stay - though it was only one night - and will definitely go back when we return to Philly for a longer visit. It's right in the heart of the city, so walking to nearby restaurants was very easy. Staff said the area was a safe one for walking at night, and they were right. And the staff was very accommodating. We were there for a few college visits and needed to check out in the morning, but knew we wouldn't be finished with the tours until after 5pm. The staff happily stored our luggage until we returned. Great service.

Our family was visiting colleges in the area, but wanted to see some of downtown Philadelphia at the same time. This hotel fit all of our needs, a great breakfast to start the day, great location - within walking distance of Reading Terminal, good access to public transportation and the freeways, and a bright and friendly hotel atmosphere. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Couldn't say enough good things about it.

After dark, quite a few homeless people and other unsavory types hang around this area, which, thanks to the construction of an expanded Convention Center, has cut the hotel off from the rest of the Center City area. 13th Street is now closed off because of this, so you have to detour a few blocks down a semi-barricaded and narrowed Race Street in either direction to get to the Convention Center/Reading Terminal Market area. Nothing happened to us, but I imagine that less-streetwise visitors will be a bit freaked out by the apparently increasing number of down-on-their-luck folks in Philly (and just just where the hotel is). Once the Convention Center is completed (in a few years?) the Hampton Inn will be more accessible and likely more travelled, but right now I wouldn't stay there again. None of this is Hampton Inn's fault, but unfortunately, the location presently leaves much to be desired. Taking a cab DOES solve the "nightlife" issues, and the hotel itself was quiet and comfortable, with a generous continental breakfast, so I'm NOT trashing the actual accommodations in this review. But it's location is likely the reason it's soooo much less expensive than the other chains in town.

Dollar for dollar a great hotel for the money. Staff were warm and friendly. Close to the convention center and terminal market.

Everything you'd expect for a good price. The location was extremely conveniant.

Stayed here for the Philly Flower Show. Nice, clean, comfortable. Not a great view from the windows, but I didn't go for the views. Easy walking distance to China Town where we ate some delicious food (Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodles is amazing!!).

The breakfast was hot and the environment was c lean. Staff were attentive.

The hotel was in a convenient location. However, we did not know about the parking situation. The hotel has valet parking that you pay for, practically no street parking, but plenty of pay lots. Although some do close early in the evening, which we didn't know.

I was there for an event at the convention center. The Hampton Inn was a very close and a short, easy walk not only to the convention center but to Chinatown and many other great restaurants. It was also great to have free breakfast right there, but they had difficulty handling the peak surge on a holiday weekend.

The Hotel was just too expensive and there is no place to park.

need receipt

nice but need receipt

It's in a great place.. and very clean. Only wish they had a bar or restraunt.

Great location. Friendly, helpful staff, pleasant room, though on the smallish side. Very comfortable bed. Altogether, staying there was a good experience and I would go back.

I am a Pulmonary Doctor. I was going to a meeting of Pulmonary Doctors. I show up and my NO-SMOKING ROOM WAS NOT AVAIALBE DESPITE REQUESTING IT AND I HAD TO TAKE A SMOKING ROOM. IT WENT DOWN HILL FROM THERE. Don't stay here, you wont like it.

The hotel is very convenient to the convention center, and the beds are very comfortable. Not much in the immediate vicinity as far as restaurants, but walk 4 to 5 blocks and there is plenty.

My only concern was that the immediate neighborhood was in a deteriorated condition, with vacant buildings. However, the neighborhood appears to be improving, and I never felt I was unsafe, due to adequate street lighting and police patrols.

From the minute we walked in the door, the people were Extremely friendly, warm and helpful. Every morning when we got off the elevator we received a "good morning".The breakfasts were really good and all the attendants at breakfast were friendly, warm and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything a person could need. I enjoyed my stay at the Hampton Inn very much and WOULD stay there again and recommend it to a friend.

very, very..... clean. not the best surrounding area. no good restaurants in walking distance.

An excellent location for Temple University visitors. Easily accessible, good value for the money.
