Aug 25, 2008

We were two adults and sons age 16 and 20. We stayed for two nights and it was a good experience. The hotel feels small and consequently personalised. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were comfortable, clean and plenty big enough. Breakfast was plentiful and the cholesterol loaded make-your-own waffles were particularly popular. It was slighly disconcerting... more

I've never had such a terrible experience. We checked into the hotel at 9 p.m. Friday night and was given a double bed room next to elevator which was so noisy and then when we tried to check out at 1:30 p.m. next day, they charged us $60 extra over an already overpriced rate of $169. The attitude of the... more

I couldn't believe that this place exists. It wasn't easy to get reservations but now I understand why. It's located across the street from "Our nation's birthplace". The hotel was charming. I was there for a meeting but made a reservation prior to my departure for a return visit with my wife. I go to the city often and I... more

Our party of three adults and three older children (ages 12-17) stayed here for two nights after reading Trip Advisor reviews. Thank you everyone! The location for seeing the historical sites is absolutely perfect and it is surrounded by restaurants. It is on a fairly quiet street as cities go - the same street in fact as Independence Hall, just... more

We stayed just 2 nights at the Best Western Independence Park Hotel in Philadelphia. This hotel is indeed in the heart of the historic district and within steps of many outstanding dining options. It was a perfect home base for our exploration of center city. The hotel itself was accurately represented on Trip Advisor, via the reviews, descriptions and photos.... more

We only had 1 1/2 days to visit Philadlephia and wanted a hotel near the downtown historic area. The location was great with easy access to the nearby sites, restaurants and the visitors center. It was very handy to be able to walk to everything with several great restaurants around. Our room was fairly cramped with a King bed, perhaps... more

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The rooms are average and they could be cleaner (couldn't every hotel bathroom be cleaner?) but, the room was big enough, clean enough and the staff more than made up anything else. The front desk staff was very helpful. The location is within walking distance of almost everything, and we... more

I loved this place. From the time I called to make my reservation, I couldn't wait to stay in this Hotel. When I called it was a little after midnight and I spoked with Latanya. She was very helpful on how I could get tickets to see the liberty bell. She also made me a dinner reservation at Buddakan (... more
