I recently booked several nights at this hotel for a business trip and convention at the Philadelphia Convention Center. The staff was first rate, and gave us a room with a great view, looking right at City Hall. Rooms were clean and the beds were really comfortable. The room was a little small, but they still managed to have a... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights. The rooms were average at best. The concierge was a waste of time – they don’t even come in until noon on Saturday. The bar was sad. We mentioned it was my boyfriend’s birthday and they did leave two slices of chocolate cake in the room on the first night –... more

We booked for a family vacation to Philly about a month in advance on the chain's website. Our room (double Queen room on the 6th floor) at 200/night cost more than the AAA rate but we selected a room to include breakfast, which saved us both in time and money- and we were very happy we made this decision. I... more

I very last minute needed a hotel in Philadelphia for one night after a problem with flights. I booked this hotel the same day as I required the stay. Hotel prices were very expensive possibly because it was a Saturday night. I paid £125 for a room and that was the cheapest available (excluding airport hotels). I felt this was... more

Stayed here during a quick stay to Phili and found the hotel quite good. It is located right in the middle of the city within walking distance to all the attractions. Very good location to get the trains to and from the city. more

We were visiting Philly for my nephew's graduation from Penn. After scouring tripadvisor.com and various hotel websites, I finally found a great price for this hotel ($149/night government rate +$20 tax/night + $40parking/night). Beware when booking this far in advance, however, as I booked less than a month before the trip while my sister booked the same hotel last October... more

I've stayed at the Courtyard two previous times. Rooms have been recently updated--the beds are so comfy. Staff is pleasant and attentive. Just be warned...I was the chaperone of a middle school group. We took up over 30 rooms on two floors, with poor souls not connected to our group interspersed between us. There were two other school groups in... more

Had a 7 a.m. flight and I was supposed to stay near the Philadelphia Airport at the Marriott Residence Inn, but somehow they were overbooked and I was "walked" to the Courtyard Downtown. I was actually delighted as this gave me a chance to see Downtown Philadelphia for the first time. Very solid hotel, not opulent but very nice, with... more

Most of the reviews are accurate for this hotel. It is in a great location and offers an excellent rate considering it's in the heart of a major city. The staff was very friendly and helpful even though the hotel was considered to be at "sold out status." My only complaint, which is not limited to this hotel, is that... more
