Top Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Inn PHL Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Love looking at the rubber and boats and planes"

Delta Hotel Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel! We stayed one night in order to be closer to the airport for our fly out date. The shuttle was so convenient when we dropped the rental car off a day early. It took us back to the hotel then back to the airport the next day seamlessly. The hotel is so well decorated and classy. The staff was great and the room was very clean with everything we needed. Loved it !"

Woodspring Suites Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, modern, and affordable hotel. The building is relatively new and still feels fresh and well maintained. The rooms were updated and comfortable, and the staff was attentive throughout my stay. I was particularly impressed by how actively the staff worked to keep the property clean. While there were occasional cooking odors on the 4th floor, I observed staff taking steps to address them and maintain the cleanliness of the hotel. It was clear they take pride in the property and make an effort to keep it looking and smelling its best. The parking lot is on the smaller side but had ample parking available during my stay. As a dog-friendly hotel, I would suggest adding one or two pet waste stations with bags around the property to make it easier for guests to clean up after their pets. Overall, this was a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly stay with a staff that genuinely cares about maintaining the property. I would stay here again."
