"It was nice, id stay again..."

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for the Mann center. Felt very safe."

Homewood Suites by Hilton University City

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was polite, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. Everything was clean, neat, and well-maintained. The parking and security staff were especially helpful and made me feel comfortable and safe. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would be happy to stay here again. I definitely recommend this hotel!"

Patio Paradise Central City 2BR Philly

8/10 Good

"It wasn't apparent from the photos, but this unit was partially in the basement of the building, which was great at night, we didn't hear anything coming from outside, but the kitchen and common area had no windows so it's a little dark. There is no Kitchen table or common area with a TV, couch, etc. If you're not planning on cooking for yourself, it's probably fine. Beds were comfortable, and each room had it's own bathroom with a shower. Everything seemed pretty clean. It's bare-bones, but comfortable enough. I was concerned about parking, but had no issues getting a spot at the end of the night."

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away."
