A Gem of a hotel in Philadelphia.
Pros:

Well located in the heart of America's most historic neighborhood. Philadelphia Marriott Old City Hotel. It is located within walking distance of the city main attractions, restaurants, bars, shopping center and night life, just 5 minutes walk from the 2nd. street metro station. Being outside the city center, it's easy to get around, avoiding traffic. It's close to the airport and train station, 10-minutes drive to Lincoln Financial Field, where six soccer matches will be held in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The rooms are comfortable and well-decorated, excelent wi-fi, featuring an excellent bathroom and shower. There is a well-equipped fitness center with plenty of space, as well as a lively lounge bar, located in the center of the hotel. The large and very comfortable "M Club" lounge offers 24hrs, 7 day a week access, with beberages selection, comfort food and great options of snacks, a very taste gourmet coffee. Breakfast is generous, with a choice of buffet or a La Carte options. The service is excellent, with competent and hands-on management; the team is attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

Loud
Pros:

The reason this was rated so poorly is because we were on the second floor and right underneath was prom. You could hear the music, the loud base beat. We were on a coach tour and another room on that floor there lights were actually shaking. Prom went until 12:30pm.

Cons:

Room facing the atrium was noisy at night due to the business of the bar. Next time will request a room away from the atrium.

Pros:

Fantastically comfortable beds. Great size room. All great.

Had the buffet breakfast once and was disappointed with the range of cold fare. The bacon and scrambled eggs were great though but no tomatoes or mushrooms.

Move Amy away from the front desk and someone where she does not deal with clients
Pros:

The location only

Cons:

The staff are very rude…
Amy at the front desk needs to learn how to listen, respect and not speak over the clients with a sharp tone of voice….

4/10 only recommend for short stay!!
Pros:

The room at the hotel was very clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The food at the hotel was not good and definitely overpriced for the quality. The valet service was also horrible—very slow and unorganized, which made coming and going frustrating. Another downside was that there is no laundry room available for guests, which can be inconvenient if you’re staying more than a couple of days. The hotel has a great location, but the service and amenities need improvement.
