I must be honest, I had a bad stay at this location in 2003 (dirty, poor service, parties after midnight in the halls) so with some trepidation I tried it again hoping for better. I'm happy to report things were better this time around--check in staff was attentive, actually made eye contact and was friendly, rooms have been been updated somewhat, clean--at least during my 2 night stay, and no smoke leaching into my room from the floors above or below. Both nightstand lights were out and after asking the made both were fixed that day and they offerred me one of their warm cookies--amusing, but at least they fixed them. I didn't try the pool or the Au Bon Pain so check the other reviews for those. As for the area, I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia and it's pretty much strip malls and more strip malls, row houses and single family homes so for the area it's one of the nicer ones--Radisson up Roosevelt Boulevard in Trevose is probably the only other one I would recommend since I've stayed there too. As for food options, hotel is surrounded by restaurants and fast food is in walking distance so onsite food didn't really matter to me. As for the room, with most hotels--even lower bracket ones moving to flat screens and nice comforters this location is dated with their TVs and flimsy paper thin blankets--reminds me of a 70s Holiday Inn, but at $100+ a nite it should be nicer. Will stay again though.
