Una piacevole sorpresa
Pros:

Struttura scenografica e in posizione centrale. La camera spaziosa e il bagno molto grande. La colazione merita senz’altro una menzione per la qualità e la cura con cui è preparata.

Cons:

Arrivando in auto non c’è lo spazio per scaricare i bagagli e l’accesso ha diversi scalini, un po’ scomodo per le valigie e nessuno disponibile a dare una mano.

Great location and spacious rooms, but housekeeping needs improvement
Pros:

The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The location is also excellent and very convenient for exploring Philadelphia.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Cons:

However, the biggest downside was that our room was not cleaned even once during our entire stay, which I find quite unacceptable for a hotel of this standard and such a well-known chain.

The breakfast was also fairly average and could definitely be improved, especially considering the overall standard of the hotel.

Apart from these points, everything else was great. We especially appreciated the spacious room, lovely staff, and fantastic location.

Cómo hotel en zona centro de Philadelphia
Pros:

Ubicación
Baño amplio

Cons:

El agua se salía de la ducha al ducharse y quedaba todo el suelo mojado. Poca iluminación en la pieza. El internet era muy lento. El estacionamiento del hotel era muy caro (US$ 74 la noche). No había frigobar en la habitación.

Make friends with the concierge!!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard Marriott in Philadelphia! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful, which made our visit even more enjoyable.

A special shoutout to the concierges, Jay and Luca. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. They were incredibly helpful with recommendations and gave us some fantastic food suggestions that did not disappoint! Their knowledge of the area and willingness to help made it easy for us to enjoy our time in Philly.

Jay and Luca truly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their excellent customer service is a great reflection of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Courtyard Marriott to anyone visiting Philadelphia!

Great Family Experience
Pros:

Omg, this place is gorgeous. There's this central balcony on each level that makes it feel like you're outside, but you're not. Really cool. Valet is actually cheaper than the normal parking, and the valet staff is awesome. Shout out to valet attendants, NK, Andy, and Boua, for being awesome. They were very helpful and friendly with me and were playful with my kids, which goes a long way. And then we discovered we were only 0.2 miles away from one of the best cheesesteak places, Shay's. Can't speak highly enough of this place.

Pros:

We prepaid breakfast but it turned out that that was only a $25 credit and the menu choices under that limit were limited and not what we would have ordered.

Cons:

Lighting at bed side was too dim for reading.
