Skyview Plaza Hotel - Philadelphia

Although this hotel isn't touted as 4-star, there were serious issues with the overall quality of the guest experience. Only 1 of 3 elevators was in operation during our stay. The staircases--as an alternate route to/from our rooms--were poorly-lit and felt generally unsafe. We found furniture randomly strewn around hallways and in the stairwell. The […] rooms are in fair to poor condition. This hotel is definitely on the decline. We joked with a lot of other guests not to touch anything. Read more

No alarm clock, no cable, holes in sheets, and cigarette burn in carpet. I asked the front desk if they could provide a cable to connect the wall to the TV and she said there was nothing she could do. There were no other hoteIs available near the airport and I only had 6 hours for sleep anyway so it met the requirement. Would never stay here if I had […] a choice. Read more

The staff is rude and clearly are unhappy with their jobs. The hotel is in desperate need of maintenance. I needed this hotel just to lay my head down for a few hours so it met that need. But no alarm clock, no hair dryer, weird! Great diner across the street though!

Awful experience, the hotel needs refurbishing. Very old bed sheets and covers, no refrigerator in the rooms.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Location very poor if you do not have a car. Very expensive cab ride into town or HUP. View of refinery instead of city. Very helpful in late arrival and early departure, though never got a requested wake-up call. Courtesy shuttle driver to airport very helpful and cooperative...about 20 minutes to airport.

I will join the long list of negative reviews and say, yes, stay away! This is a stinky ffilthy hotel with zero maintenance. It could be a nice one and conveniently located not far from the airport and 4 miles from Center City, but it is in such a bad condition that you don't want to spend your bucks here. Nothing works! There is not cold water, only […] boiling water (even in the flush tank!), the elevators are cranky, no internet connection, breakfast is a joke, the sheets are stained, the batroom was filthy, the heater did not work (had to change to another room). It's a big NO-NO. I would recommend to Expedia, for credibility, to remove this hotel from the list. Read more

It was ok. Workers are friendly. It is quiet. It is not the best place to stay. You get what you pay for in the price of the hotel. The up keeping is not good at all.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Sink clogging, did not fix it on request. Very bad state of maintenance

At first, everything was perfect.....that was until I saw a roach crawling across my wall..... After bringing it to the attention of the staff, they asked, "are you sure? maybe it was a different bug.."... Horrible..

Worst ever stunk nasty not clean and no drywall in bathroom

Disgusting, actual mold and the smell of it in the room, TV wasn't working, no internet... . I wish I could upload pictures here

I killed a cockroach on the wall in the bathroom. The promised wifi did not work in my room when I arrived, and the staff I talked to was unable to help and offered no way to troubels hoot, but rather just suggested that I come to the lobby where hers was working. I ended up never having wifi and surfing on my phone instead. Breakfast was not ready […] at 7am as advertised, which was frustrating for me since I had to leave at 7:10 without eating. Read more

Waited over an hour to check in. My room was dirty, with mold. Terrible experience.

you can only access wifi in lobby, no wifi in room

Lousy place- the hotel staff knew nothing at all, was not helpful whatsoever... Could not even get me a hot cup of water or tell me where I could get one at 5 am before I needed to check out.

The shower drain was backed up and you took a "bath" when in the shower. The staff was nice but not great with customer service - they did not have the "2 double beds non-smoking" room and instead offered me either a "dirty" room or a "smoking" room which they offered to "spray". When I checked in a woman returned to the front desk stating that the […] room she was given was filled with smoke odors and her child had asthma - this would need to be changed. The breakfast consisted of cereal and toast. If I had another option with regards to a hotel on that night, I would have chosen to stay elsewhere. Read more

The hotel was recommended as being affiliated with another well known company and it was in atrocious condition. The room was dirty and the walls were falling apart. The number sign on the door was taped to the wall and written in marker. If there were other hotel vacancies in the area, I would have left immediately. The staff was not at all accommodating. […] I am normally very pleased with what Expedia has to offer but not this time. Read more

worst hotel I have ever stayed at...Dirty, refridgerator in hall way, soiled couches with god knows what was on them, huge hole on elevator floor with beer cans in it. Front desk staff unfriendly and not helpfull in the least bit...worst experience EVER!!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was a "you get what you pay for" kind of deal. The price was reasonable (especially for the location on a game night) but it really was mostly in disrepair. The staff was friendly and moved our first room for us (the lights didn't work and it was a smoking room when we requested a non-smoking). The "restaurant" was only fried food and cash […] only. If you're just looking for a semi-reasonable place to stay the night of a game that is close by, I'd say book it. Otherwise, look elsewhere for comfort. Read more

Water marks throughout the hotel and rooms. worn out beds, over used sheets and sandpaper towels. no hot water at 5:15 am on a Sunday????? Rooms were cleaned the best they could be but everything is just so dated and worn out. Elevator was horrid looking. lobby was nice. Continental breakfast was very weak, For the area, the price was reasonable considering […] we needed a room and the rest of the town was booked for some reason. But I now know why we found a vacancy. Could hear the other guest quite clearly which was a bit annoying. Read more

Hotel was convenient for us to catch an early flight the next morning from Philadelphia International Airport. The first room we were assigned had no clock radio, on blanket on the bed and the telephone did not work, so I went down to the front desk to ask for a blanket and clock radio. There were no extra clock radios, so the desk clerk offered us […] to move to a different room. This room also had no clock radio but had a working phone. It was a cold night but the heater controls were either on or off, no automatic temperature control. So we had to get up during the night to turn the heat on and off. The building shows signs that it was once quite attractive and serviceable, but neglect and lack of needed investment had made the Skyview Plaza extremely substandard. Read more

The hotel smelled and there was drunks all throughout the hotel I checked in n checked out in a matter of 10 mins

You get what you pay for. Dont expect anything more, room was not vaccumed, did see a roach, ceiling is falling down due to water damage.

Hotle is in need of some updating and repairs. It was a little dirty and this was a non smoking room and we could clearly smell smoke from previos users.

Genuine Expedia guest review

There was 5 microwaves to be shared between everyone staying at the hotel, the elevators were noticeably old and scary to ride, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, and the rain was coming in through the window and wet the carpet. We asked to moveto another room but it was worse. We stayed the 2 nights because we had no choice due to the storm. Only […] the front desk person during the morning seemed courteous and we never saw any housekeeping staff, there were bags of trash outside the rooms for the two days we were there and we had to go to the lobby to pick up extra towels.

Holes in the blankets (maybe from cigarettes?). Shower either incredible hot or cold. I had to turn off the toilet manually by the valve to stop it from running all night. Beds were small, maybe doubles. Decent location. Nice staff. Cheap, but still not worth the price.

Woke up to a fire alarm, with employees doing nothing to calm the guests. Learned from other guests that the alarm had went off for the past three mornings.

Bed was not made on first day, and room was not cleaned at all on the second day.

There was no cold water. The bathroon stayed hot. When recerving the room I was told each room had a micro wave and refrig. There was no micro wave or refrig in the room.

Not clean enough. The charges did not work stably.

Hotel is older but they are try to up keep. The staff is nice and present but only one in the front desk. The bed room is OK, clean sheets but they need to make sure the bath clean better than the one I stay in. Also, carpet need to be replace inside the rooms and outside the hall ways. Overall it is OK for 1 or 2 night for sleep and not to hang out […] in the room. Read more

It appears that the hotel is going through an upgrade. The room is clean and the furniture/bathroom is new. However there is no microwave or small refrig. There is no chart for the TV stations, nor are the stations marked on the channel itself and not all local stations are available. The Elevator is old, very slow and you cannot tell which one will […] open. The lobby (Ceiling fans) and the elevator were not air conditioned. The parking lot is a mess with portions roped off with yellow caution tape. The wake-up call was correctly set and worked. There is a diner just across the street that is open I believe 24/7 but I did not eat there. The pictures of the hotel did not show the downside. I would recommend this place but with a cautionary list of concerns. Read more

TV did not work...this is not a hotel to stay at for long term stay

Genuine Expedia guest review

When we first arrived we had a leaking toilet, however, the staff quickly gave us another room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

First thing I noticed as I entered the room was white smeared stains in various spots across the floor. I didn't walk on the floor without socks on. The comforter on the bed looked dingy and I wasn't sure if it was ever washed not to mention it had cigarette burns on it. Next ill move on to the bathroom. The shower head was broke halfway hanging off […] the wall. Water wouldn't just flow out of the shower head but would flow out of all other sides. So after every shower I would have lay out towels across the floor in order to clean up all of the water. Also the fire alarm went off three times while I was there. No one assessed the situation let us know what was going on, why the alarm went off. After sitting there for a few minutes with no word on what was going on just went back upstairs to my room. All in all I wouldn't stay there again you get what you pay for. Read more

Checked in late without problems. My room was on the second floor so I was able to connect with the wi-fi. Very average hotel... nothing more, nothing less. I had read reviews saying they had bed bugs but my room was free of them.

1. We stayed 2 nights, no one came to clean the room, change the bed linens, or even make the bed. I had to take 2 clean towels from cart in hallway.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is an extremely run-down, dilapidated, hotel. I had a confirmed reservation for a King, non-smoking room. On the 1st go-round they put me in a double bed room where the A/C did not function. I complained and they moved me to another dbl room with working, but smelly A/C. The paint was peeling everywhere, I didn't dare step into the bathtub, it […] looked like a used sand pit. The telephone on the nightstand had the faceplate ripped off and several of the buttons were not there. The television didn't work, it kept on turning itself off and the power button had been punched through into the cabinet. The mattress on the bed was excessively soft. Overall, I will never return to that hotel, and certainly never recommend it to anyone except perhaps a squatter. Read more

My stay was nice and peaceful. The staff was helpful. The hotel is a little bit older, but well kept and clean. For the price I wanted to pay, it was nice. Not like other cheaper run down hotels. The prices in Philly were over priced @ the Hilton, Mariott, etc. therefore if you are looking for a more afforadable place but clean, this is it. I enjoyed […] my stay. Read more
