unsafe and downright scary
Pros:

This is not a safe property. There is police activity daily. I feared daily when going to/from work. Smells like drugs and cigarettes. Was propositioned outside and hassled when I tried to leave. GM is aware and clearly a part of it. Place is a dump.

Marriott Bonvoy on City Avenue in Philadelphia.
Pros:

Very well located in a commercial neighborhood with all sorts of shops and eateries. Rooms are well maintained and fully equipped. Bathroom well cleaned. Staff are courteous but only 1/3 front desk was operating while there was a queue of customers. The parking is not free (15$/night). Management should look into this as an incentive to customers.

convenient location but needs renovation
Pros:

convenient for a brief stay in Bala Cynwyd

Cons:

somewhat dated, pool didn’t seem right - reeking of chlorine and no visible water circulation, and the a/c in the room was as loud as a broken tractor

HORRIBLE
Pros:

I would strongly advise others to think twice before staying at this hotel.

After checking out, I realized I had accidentally left a brand-new pair of Nike shoes in the closet. I immediately called the hotel, and the manager, Michelle, assured me that she had investigated and that my shoes were not found.

Because I knew exactly where I had left them, I filed a formal complaint. Only after that investigation began did the same manager email me saying my shoes had suddenly been “found.” It’s very concerning that they were supposedly missing until a complaint was filed.

Based on my experience, I found the manager to be rude, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. I felt like my property was not handled honestly, and it left me with little confidence in the hotel’s integrity.

I can’t say what anyone’s intentions were, but the way this situation was handled was unacceptable. If you value honesty and accountability, I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Overnight Stay
Pros:

We stayed overnight after my husband's cataract surgery and before a follow-up appointment the next morning.

The hotel was very accommodating to a very early check-in due to the time of my husband's surgery. The room was comfortable and quiet. We were pleasantly surprised with the food options offered in their bistro.

All in all, very stress free!

After checking in. It was great, very polite staff, other than my check in clerk
Pros:

Nice location, clean

Cons:

I would have appreciated a little more curtesy and politeness, welcoming more professional greeting from the check in clerk, didn’t seem to know how to work the credit card system, wanted to run my card twice after it had already been authorized, I refused!!!
