"Pros: Great Heating system with a decently stocked Kitchen. Plenty of space with two full size bedrooms. Beds and pillows were comfortable. And the TV was signed into streaming apps complimentary of the host which is a rare find these days (usually the renter has to utilize their own streaming accounts for login). Cons: the apartment unit smelled like cigarettes. There weren’t a lot of extra household ‘supplies’ provided either (paper towels, tissue paper, extra toilet paper, extra trash bags)....

Top North Philadelphia Hotel Reviews

The Conwell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town for a Dave Matthews concert and found this inn to be super charming. It was easily located on Temple University campus and had a very quaint old school charm to it. No refrigerator or microwave in your room so if that’s a dealbreaker find someplace else. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we will definitely stay here again."

Goodseed Suites Philadelphia Center

8/10 Good

"I traveled solo as elder woman & the neighborhood is lower income & rather run down, but much more quiet than expected. Once inside two separately locked doors, the environment changed dramatically. Even had music playing one day. I was uncertain of the area, but onsite manager was kind, respectful, & helped when I was short of various supplies. Communication with the suites itself was sporadic and slow. I DID appreciate window air conditioning! Temp got to 110 while I was there!"

Diamond Suites Philadelphia Center

8/10 Good

"Let me start with the cons and end on a good note: Parking is on the street and at a premium. We had to circle the clock a few times. The outside looks sketchy. But the neighbors were friendly. Bring your own paper towels to use in the kitchens no hand towels. We couldn’t get the TV to pick up any stations. Now, that room was so clean you could eat off the floor! The bed was comfortable. The air conditioner worked very well. Our host was kind."
