This hotel was not a pleasant stay at all. Upon entering the unmarked and poorly lit property, I was greeted by a dozen stray cat in congregating in the outdoor walkway and hotel entrance. The room and property were lackluster, I had to go to a neighboring hotel for the ice machines, as this hotel had none. The room smelled like mildew after reassurances […] by the hotel management to the contrary, there is NO WIFI at this hotel! They advertise having it, but not a single signal was present. Will never stay in this place and strongly recommend anyone against doing so. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Location but need upgrade."
The manager was excellent and provided great service. Unfortunately my TV as well as my wireless did not work and it was just too much of a hassle to deal with for a one night stay. Hotel is showing its age and could benefit from a remodel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for a one night stay"
Clerk was very pleasant and funny. Very hard to locate hotel. Had to call to find it. Very old hotel. Rooms have been renovated nicely. Outside needs improvement. No ice machine, no elevator. Had to go next door to the Holiday Inn Express for ice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Run, don't walk from this hotel."
Room and hotel in poor condition. Stairs in disrepair. Trash collecting in corners. Dirt everywhere. Office felt like a prison. Top it all off with a loud nightclub literally outside of our room. Drunken patrons yelling profanity. The single worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Absolutely dreadful place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"I recommend this hotel!"
A lot of reviews complained about the night club noise! Luckily the club must have been closed Friday April 5 th! The room was comfortable and cozy! We got there at 2:15 am the front desk girl met us outside. The only drawback I see is the lack of an elevator! Luckily we only had to go up a small flight of stairs! Other than that our stay was wonde […] rful! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Almost a nice place to stay"
Start with a standard motel and add some pretty iron work to the front that gives it a cute, sort of “New Orleans” look, and you have the Airport Waterfront Inn. The facility was well maintained and the rooms clean. None of the rooms have a view, but if you walk to the end of the balcony you get a very nice view of the Delaware River and Tinicum Island. […] If being right on the river is not enough, it is right next to a historic park. Even though it is very close to the airport, the planes were not annoying and not really noticeable at night. The down side? It is a little hard to find because it is pretty well hidden by a night club and a Holiday Inn Express. We could not get on the Internet, although we were too tired to really try to solve that problem. But the worst thing was “breakfast.” A cereal bar, an apple and a bottle of water do not make a breakfast. So adding a breakfast at Denny’s does make them less affordable than the posted price.

"No Sleep Due to Noise"
Stayed on a Friday night, and due to the music that blared from the adjacent nightclub from 8 pm until 2 am it was impossible to sleep over the incredible noise. Good lesson to never again stay somewhere with a nightclub nearby. Beware!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Right on Intercoastal waterway, close to colleges."
Great location on Intercoastal Waterway, and close to colleges. Hotel older, but they have upgraded in many areas. Online purchase stated a refrigerator was included in room, but was not available upon arrival. Was promised that one would be delivered to room next day; never arrived. Stray cats on property were sad.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean & close to airport"
If you just need a clean, basic room close to Philadelphia Intl Airport, this motel is perfect. It doesn't have a lot of amenities but the rooms and bathrooms are clean, and the TVs work. it was all I needed for my recent trip.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Worst ever!!!"
Honestly the only way my family and I got this hotel was the Expedia deal where they don't let u know before hand which hotel u signed up for. No words can express our disappointment. It's by the water so it's a no no during winter. The rooms on one side face the water and the door kept rattling all night. The first room we went to the door didn't lock […] and their was no safety lock. It offers no security. The second night we were there a drunk man came knocking on the door mistakenly . Never again would I jeopardize my family like this. There is a club next door which was load but with the wind and rattling door, we had other things to worry about. Oh and to top it off - there was a pubic hair caught in the fleece blanket- Just plain nasty!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Stay away from this one!"
Will never stay there again. Only did this time because they accepted pets and were close enough to my conference. Pictures make it appear to be at a pleasant and charming marina; however, it is nestled in the heart of an industrial area and the marina looks more like a boat junkyard than an operating marina. Limited restaurants nearby and none within […] safe walking distance from the hotel, especially at night. Co-located with the hotel is "The Deck" bar/restaurant/night club. Incredibly noisy (the bass of the music literally shook the room!) far into the morning hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Room was fine but having to stay next to a night club isn't that good. Music was playing until 2am in the morning with sound coming right through the walls.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great view, great price."
OK, it's not the greatest hotel, mostly because of the old structure they have to work with. There is no elevator and the climb to the third floor is noteworthy, BUT, it is a ton less expensive compared to it's neighbor, the only other hotel on the water in that area. It has a deck around all the floors with a view of the river and marina on 3 sides. […] And the rooms are adequate even if better soundproofing would get a better description. But for location and price, it's a good bet. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Nice Place!"
Clean and affordable place to stay. What sets it apart are the wonderful Delaware River views and great airplane viewing. Also noteworthy is great staff...although there are no fridges in the rooms, they let me keep something in their own, and also let me borrow one of their plasic chairs so I could take it up and enjoy my riverview "deck". The outside […] bar action was over by 10 on the Wed and Thurs nights we were there. If you stay on a Fri or Sat definitely ask to be as away from it as possible. And if you fish bring a pole and join the locals! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Convenient to airport"
Perhaps we would have been happier with the hotel had we not come from the Hyatt Regency! After a newer hotel, it was apples to oranges and we had been a bit spoiled. However, the room was clean, the area was actually very quiet and we slept well. So for a quick stay to catch an early flight it was just fine for us. There is a Holiday Inn Express LITERALLY […] next door. One down side is that the adjacent restaurant really needs to clean their garbage containers, the air reeked of spoiled food/rancid grease. Thankfully this did not seep into the room at all. But it makes a very bad first impression on arriving at the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Convenience"
Located right next to the Holiday Inn Express, and conveniently located in Chester. Real close to the Harrah's Casino in Chester. Had to stay here for a quick night to attend a business meeting the next day. Room was clean, view was nice for a standard motel. Front desk staff very helpful. Rates are cheap.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Did not know that it did not have an elevator. We had to carry our luggage to third floor. Beds seemed to be a little small for a Queen sizeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay and cheap!"
I took the suggested advice of other reviews and booked a room furthest from the nightclub that is attached to hotel. it does get very loud on the weekends. But if the noise does not bother you until 2am or you can get a room on the other side, I would highly suggest this hotel. Relaxed and safe neighborhood coveniently located to major highway and […] philadelphia airport. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby also. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Granted, there's no elevator nor pool and it's a long trot to the motel nx door for ice, but the room was clean and nicely redone, the staffers pleasant, the price great, and our upstairs view across the marina and Delaware estuary delightful. , , , Plus: they don't advertise breakfast, but we did find milk cartons, hot coffee, hot water, hot cereal […] packs, packaged sweet muffins, disposable bowls, cups, and utensils in the office, and a shady table outside. That's breakfast for us. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

old building but charming, waterfront back area nice view, a swinging bar and dance area people loved to party there..the workers were so nice and the room was very clean. not far from the airport at all direct route, you will get you to the airport on time. places to gas and eat everything is there......my first impression was i was at the bates motel […] it was late. it sit's back behind holiday inn express hotel. but the people over there came over to the waterfront to have a great time and we did......thank you i hope this helps Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable motel"
The motel was convenient to the airport and only a 15 - 20 minute drive to historic district, museums, U Penn campus, etc. The room was comfortable -- our side of the motel was quiet, although the other side (double rooms) was by the restaurant next door, which has an outdoor bar and dance floor. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I liked […] being on the river. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"STAY AWAY!!!!!!"
The first room we were assigned to was, horrible. It was right over a night club/ bar. The noise was ridiculous! The room smelled aweful, so I asked for a room that didn't have a door that has been half way kicked in, and non smoking, and away from the bar. The concierge ( loosely used) said all the rooms are non smoking! We went to our new room, and […] it was worse than the first! I wasn't sure it was possible, but good old "Norman Bates" didn't cease to amaze me. Do yourself a favor, spend a couple extra dollars and stay at the Holliday inn 50 feet to the right!
