Atwater Kent Museum of Philadelphia Tours and Activities

I’m a little confused why the reviews are so high for this place. The hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. My room seemed to be a former suite split into two hotel rooms which made the configuration awkward and meant I could hear voices in the room next to mine through the locked door. The drapes were broken so one side wouldn’t open, and there was a constant buzzing noise coming from the air conditioning. I mentioned both of these issues to the front desk but nothing was done to fix the situation as far as I know. I decided to check out after one night and book a different hotel. I’m still waiting for a refund from Expedia.

This was the perfect place for my group and our needs. Enough beds with options; a dark, quiet room in the basement, a shared room with a two full beds, the top floor king size suite, even a pull out sofa! All useful accommodations for a party of 5 or more. To top it off, the roof top hot tub with a city skyline view was incredible! It was a great location too, in walking distance to our venue in South Philly. Everything worked out perfectly, and I'm grateful that this option was available. Thank you!

Really unique hotel in a great area
