Top Wister Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really helpful and friendly"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"The pool was closed for rehab. Room was clean. Supposed to be food and drink at 5:00 but we didn't see any food sitting out and the line for a drink at the bar was long. Breakfast was good, but over at 9:30 which seemed early. A small bag of chips was $6. Bring your own snacks. Bed and room very comfortable and clean."

Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"In general, the hotel was great - it's a great location, the rooms were comfortable, and the amenities were spectacular. Having complimentary streaming services available on the in-room televisions were a first for me and very impressive. The main reason I'm withholding a star is that during check-in, there was a large line of guests waiting to check in and there was not enough staff available to attend to everyone. It was surprising to see a downtown hotel in a major city only have 2 attendants working."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 5 days and enjoyed the location. It was very central for us. We loved the Happy Hour the best! It was only bread, cheese and wine/beer. The hotel setup was well done. A great way to end a busy day before going out to dinner. Wish they did that through the weekend! There was a mix up on our reservation but the hotel resolved it to our satisfaction. We were on a high floor corner room and the views were spectacular!"
