Never Judge A Book By It's Cover!!

We were in town for our son's St. Joseph's University College Graduation. We decided to find a place close to stay the night before veses of dealing with traffic.. On line I liked the reviews and felt comfortable. Arriving, I'd say, " You Cant Judge A Book By It's Cover " .. Meaning the exterior was just ok. After arriving, the lobby seemed nice and clean, no foul odors. The room was updated, painted and well decored. The bathroom was completely renovated.. The bed was very comfortable. One thing it could use are area rugs at least next to the bedside. The floors felt not as clean getting into bed. Other than that, it was worth the nights stay... I will give it a 5 Star rating.. Also to mention. The front desk gentlemen " Key " was very kind.. Thank you Sir.. Thank you Joel & Alba Rachlin

The Bed was Comfortable..

Thanks to Hotels.com I was able to get a great rate on my stay at the Philly Inn & Suites. On my day of check-in I arrived at the location and was unsure until I was up on it that it was the correct address. The exterior looks more like a corporate office than an actual hotel. Also, as the main sign sits back off the sidewalk it wasn’t until my ride share was letting me out that I realized I was at the correct place. As check in is at 3:00 pm and I arrived at 11:30 am, I was unable to check in as there isn’t an early check in option. I asked if there was a business center and was advised there was not. As there was not a business area I sat in the lobby area and worked until it was time to check in. Sitting in the main area, which was very clean, I realized that the pictures online, though they are current, they had to be filtered. The Philly Inn & Suites looks a bit outdated, however, it has undergone a recent pair face lift. The colors are very vibrant and inviting. However, the foundational structure beneath the colors and amazing portraits is dated. Once I was checked in I headed upstairs to my room. I got to the third floor and the same remained true for the living area. Vibrant. Great paintings. Older structure, new reface via paint. I loved the colored room doors as it puts you in the mindset of elementary school (for me it did). Once I opened my door, I was pleased to be met with a clean room. A nice tiled floor, and a huge bed. The bathroom was a nice size and

The place was great however it has nothing but a gas station next door with no tobacco. Or alcohol. Food is chain restaurants. But it was nice esp the night watchman was super considerate. For the price, it was nice!!! Esp in Philly

Great Value

I've stayed at this hotel three different times I've never had a bad experience. This is a low/no frills hotel but the rooms are very clean never found as much as a toe nail on the floor and I do check everything before I leave. The room was spacious with a TV with cable, AC, a desk and chair, and two living room chairs. The hotel has off street parking for free which is a major cost savings for those who can navigate the public transit system to get in the city. There is no restaurant or food on premisis but there are a wide variety of places to eat within a two block radius of the hotel. There were some small issues like the shower door opening seemingly on its own. But for me it wasn't even an issue I was concerned enough to mention to the staff. Overall, if you are looking for a value hotel that is within 15 minutes of center/university city (20 by public transit) this is one of the best values in the area.
