My BF and I wanted a quick getaway (we live in DE) for the Valentines weekend. Judging by the size of the hotel and the fact that it is attached to the PA Convention Center, we kind of figured it would be crowded and a little congested. After we checked in, we were told that our room was in the... more

I live right outside of Philly and stayed at the Marriott Downtown for a comedy show at the Spectrum. I only stay at Marriotts and was again satisfied with the service and amenities. Ask for a corner room- it makes a hughe difference. There is nothing to not love about this hotel- and the location is amazing. Try the Melting... more

I decided to surprise my BF for his birthday by taking him to Philly for a quick getaway. (1 night) He lives in NJ so the trip was a little over an hour. I booked the hotel a few weeks prior using my marriott reward points. I used to travel extensively for my job so I was familiar with the... more

I stayed at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown for four nights in January 2008 in order to attend a trade show at the Penn. Convention Ctr., which is connected to the Marriott by a skywalk. I had a "deluxe" room adjacent to a 980 sq ft. suite during my stay. For the purposes of this review, I will confine my comments... more

I stayed in the hotel the week of 14 Jan on business. The hotel is undergoing remodeling in the lobby (until mid Apr 2008), but it did not negatively effect my stay. I was not in my room during the day, only at night. My room was extremely quiet. The internet connection was frustratingly slow at night. The free work... more

stayed here for 2 nights in November. The location of hotel is ideal, across the road from the lovely Reading Terminal market, really nice place to wander around and sample all the different foods! Very comfortable room especially the bed (so much so we slept for a solid 12 hours)! Huge bathroom which was great after spending time in NY... more

We live in the Philadelphia area and decided to do a nice weekend in town for my wife's birthday. Since I am a Platinum member, I decided to book at Marriott Downtown. The website clearly advised that there would be construction taking place in the lobby. I didn't think that meant that they would be jack hammering concrete and it... more

I stayed at the Philadelphia Marriott (downtown) for 4 days to attend a conference. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of this Marriott compared to others. The rooms were fine (and a bit small), but I have seen better at other locations. Also, there was a fire alarm one morning and we were asked to stay in our... more

I HAD to stay at this hotel against my wishes because of a work convention for 5 nights. I must say that I am not a huge fan of Marriott, but this last stay definitely made them a "no-way ever again" hotel. The first night I did not get a wink of sleep because of a large group of young... more
