No air conditioning and temps in the 90’s- rude staff
Pros:

Air conditioner wasn’t working and we kept being told it would be fixed soon. After 2 days of misery and being lied to the staff was super rude. I was told by one manager we would get a refund and are now having to go through our credit card company because they didn’t keep their word.

Cons:

Staff was very rude

Harika bir deneyim
Pros:

Otel merkezi yerde. Gezilecek yerlere yürüyerek ulaşabiliyorsunuz. Odamız oldukça geniş ve şehir manzaralıydı. Yatak, çarşaf ve havlular temizdi. Yataklar ve yastıklar rahattı. Odada kahve makinesi ve ikram su vardı, bu gayet iyi. Çok rahat ettik, kahvaltı almadık. Makul fiyatta olsaydı mutlaka tercih ederdik, restorantı çok şık. Otel içinde bir de mini market var. Ayrıca müşteri ilişkilerinde bir Türk ile karşılaşmak çok hoştu. Kendisi bize çok yardımcı oldu, teşekkür ediyoruz.

Cons:

Klima sistemi iyi çalışıyor fakat çok eski bir teknoloji olduğu için gürültü yapıyor. Yine de bizim için büyük bir problem değildi.

Good location and parking- eat elsewhere.
Pros:

The location was excellent and staff was very friendly. Parking was very good as well in garage next door.

Cons:

The buffet breakfast was pretty rough. With 2 kids and myself we spent $80 with tip and then ended up going to eat elsewhere. We were there around 8 so though food would be ok, but everything was pretty crusty and seemed a bit past its prime.

Notte a Philadelphia
Pros:

Camera grande e pulita con vista sulla città. Letti comodi e biancheria per bagno presente.
Abbiamo avuto un problema con la doccia e la reception ci ha inviato in pochi minuti l'assistenza.
Ottimo servizio.

I was only there for 24 hours but it was all that I needed it to be.
Pros:

The property was in the “center” of everything! If I could walk longer I would

Cons:

The fact the it doesn’t offer complimentary breakfast although the Warm Chocolate chip cookie was delish

Great location & staff, but wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and extremely helpful despite how busy it was and the hotel was in a great location. They resolved my issue with kindness and understanding.

Cons:

The biggest issue was a mouse being in our room, which was discovered our last night there. There were some other concerns that were shrugged off, but were clearly a foreshadowing of what was coming. The hotel had a bad smell from the lobby to the hotel floors, but that might be a Philly thing, because the sewer water smell was often smelled outside as well. Our room was in need of repair/maintenance…a part of the ceiling looked as though it had water damage, but wasn’t repaired properly and looked as if it would crumble and fall at any moment. The shower faucet dripped constantly despite it being turned off and the A/C sounded like a plane landing when it came on.
