Marriott Hotel Downtown Philadelphia

What a surprized to find a very nice place like this, so close to all the historic sites, as well as shopping and many restuarants at such a good price! One night here was only $135.00 US, but no meals or parking are included. Even thought the address is Market Street, the main enterance is off Filbert Street. I believe there is another Mariott in Philadelphia, but it is much farther away from the sites, so be sure you book this one.
The only issue I had with this hotel was the bed. It was way to soft for me. I did sleep good, but maybe that was because of all the walking we did while we were in town, and the two glasses of wine I had during dinner :) I prefer a much harder mattress to sleep on. Our room was a nice size, not to big, but enough room for the two of us to move around. The bathroom was large with plenty of counter space. The shower was nice, but could have used a little more water pressure. We had a room on the 19th floor, but there are multiple elevators to use and they all move quickly.
We didn't get a chance to see the pool, which is on the 7th floor, or any of the other amenities they have to offer. We did use the restuarant for breakfast, which was very nice, and the Concierge to find a place to eat our first night there. He was so helpfull, and even called ahead and made the reservation for us.
Every employee we had contact with was polite, helpfull, friendly and a pleasure to interact with! If you are looking for a place in downtown Philadelphia, this is the place to stay. We will definitly come back here again!

I expected more like a refrigerator/microwave oven. The TV was in this cabinet where the way the doors opened you couldn't see the TV unless you sat right in front of it either on the bed or moving your desk chair right in front of TV. You couldn...read entire review at TravelPost.com

I stayed at this hotel back in March of 2006 and I am disgusted! The Marriott hotel chain is one I have enjoyed staying with for many years, and this place gave the corporation a bad name! Where do I start? I was staying with my brother, so we wer...read entire review at TravelPost.com

They did not honor my request, even though I called the night before my arrival. They did not give my wife any attention when she locked herself out of our room. The staff is not friendly.read entire review at TravelPost.com
