Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful, and its central location was a major plus, with a train and trolley station conveniently nearby (walking distance). The breakfast was also delicious and definitely a highlight of the stay. The restaurant staff were consistently very kind, welcoming, and attentive, and they made an effort to show that they were available and willing to help. In contrast, while the front desk receptionists were cordial, their interactions felt somewhat formal and less welcoming. They often appeared serious and made limited eye contact, which made it difficult to tell whether they had noticed guests waiting or were available to answer questions. A little more proactive acknowledgment and warmth at the front desk would have made the overall guest experience even more positive."

"The hotel is a in an excellent location in the Old City. Lots of great historic, sites, and restaurants steps away. The hotel was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. However, it is VERY tired and definitely needs a reno. The furniture was frayed and worn. We had a room with a sitting area so we could entertain relatives. It had a sink, microwave and refrigerator-great, but not one plate or bowl or cutlery. Really? Why bother with a sink then? Check-in was fine, but we were told that the first 2 water bottles were free, after that we would be charged. Really? How cheap is that! We used the same bottles and re-filled them daily."

"The location was excellent for doing tourist stuff. The staff was very attentive. The only gripes I have are that the AC in the room didn't seem to work properly. It was always stuffy when we came back to our room. There was no fan in the bathroom, which causes it to be very steamy and humid in the bathroom after showers. Lastly, the elevators took forever. There were only 3 working. Overall, though, it was lovely."
