Loews Philadelphia Hotel

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good
"I have mixed feelings about my stay. On the positive side, the hotel staff were fantastic—extremely warm, welcoming, and helpful from check-in to check-out. Their great hospitality was definitely the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the room itself made it very difficult to get a good night’s rest: Pillows: The pillows were really bad quality—extremely hard, stiff, and uncomfortable, offering no real comfort for sleeping. AC Unit: The air conditioner fan was exceedingly loud, cycling on and off with a harsh rattle that repeatedly woke me up. Street Noise: The room lacked proper soundproofing, so street noise from outside filtered right through the windows throughout the night."

"Well I loved that I was able to check in earlier, but their was only one working elevator and I was on the top floor. It was a lot of wedding parties there so I feel the elevators should have been a priority to fix. The front of the hotel has a lot of homeless people lingering the moment you walk out of the hotel, which was not a good look but I know they can’t help it. Overall I will definitely come back."
