The Windsor Suites
We enjoyed the stay and extra perks from being on the 24 floor. Staff was fantastic and very friendly as well helpful. Bathroom water pressure was poor in sinks, shower and toilet .

Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown
I didn't like that you had to join a "club" to get wifi. Otherwise, great.

The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton
The room was dirty, mattress was dirty. We've been coming here for years and it seems they are no longer keeping up with the property. Our very last time staying here.

Aloft Philadelphia Downtown
Booked prepaid and was told on arrival that they overbooked and were moving me to another crappier hotel with a double room (I booked king). Then find out I won’t even get the lower rate for the crap hotel. Ripped off false advertising. Won’t book with Aloft again.

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown
I did not use any of the amenities in the hotel. However, my room 2222 seemed to have a lot of noise above me. It sounded like wheels rolling throughout the day and night. I had to have the TV on to drown out the sound.
