Pros:

The breakfast can use some variety. Especially if you are staying more than 2 days, it can feel a little bland and boring.

Hotel with hospitality that feels like family
Pros:

I had never been to Philadelphia but the moment I walked into Holiday Inn express midtown Philadelphia I was greeted warmly by Ari. Ari put me on the top floor with the fabulous view. He helped me find a phone charger close by. He has compassion for strangers to his city and cares deeply for his guests. I felt very cared for by the breakfast staff as well. Miss Catherine is the momma energy of this hotel. I cant eat gluten and she lovingly made sure I was ok. She told me to knock on the door if I left early to get something. And Antonio in the dining hall is also a warm caring soul. A staff who care about people is what I found. A staff who intentionally connect with guests and display warmth and genuine care was refreshing. If I am ever back in Philly this hotel will be my first choice.

Good for a short stay in central Philly
Pros:

We stayed one night, and our room was clean, spacious and reasonably quiet (other than a little hallway noise). The staff was very efficient and helpful, and they were happy to store our luggage securely after checkout. The breakfast was a typical hotel buffet, frequently replenished and with a decent variety. We also appreciated the hotel's central location, near the city's sights and public transportation.

Definitely would return!!
Pros:

Staff was very friendly and attentive, and fulfilled all our requests; and room was nice, spacious, and complete for our needs. Example, 1. we had a delivery from Amazon, and they kept it in the front desk while we were out; 2. one morning there was a remodeling or maintenance done in a room across ours and the hammering woke us, thus they offered to change rooms, but we did not want to, so instead we agreed on a schedule that worked for both; 3. liked that the bathroom sink was separate from the bath and the toilet; 4. breakfast was gooood...it was varied and healthy. My kids loooved the pancakes; the room included a microwave, which makes it more convenient than to have just one in the lobby for all guests to use; 5. the hotel had laundry facilities. They had two washers, and two driers, which worked perfectly for me as I was the only one using it lol...so I could do two loads at a time. And the app for paying was super friendly and convenient.

Cons:

Only a few things I would improve: 1. more space in the bath/toilet area 2. be aware of dust in the room furniture. I saw that the bed stand and the tv/microwave/refrigerator area was a little bit dusty 3. would add a few additional hooks to the room or bathroom area for towel hanging. This is something that, I don't know why, every hotel lack. We always have to hang the towels across the room. There are a few places in the bathroom for hanging, but not enough for a family of four. Someone would say to use the hangers, but we use the hangers for our clothes.
