Ok stay

I probably would NOT stay here again. Hotel charges $25/night additional to park & the garage doesn't have direct access into hotel. Wifi didn't work either.

Super Spring Break!

This hotel was great for us! Could not have asked for a better location..right in the heart of the old city! The staff was so nice and helpful. The only improvement that we might suggest...beds were a bit uncomfortable. Will definitely come back and stay again!

Great Location!

This hotel was great for a three day stay in Philadelphia! Friendly service, very clean, and a decent price. Nice workout room, only downside was no complimentary breakfast, but everything else made up for that. Best of all was it's incredible location! Two blocks from a metro stop, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center, and more! About 5 blocks from Chinatown and some awesome food! Overall, this was a great hotel and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

Great Working hotel location

Experience was good. I had wheelchair access room (guess that's all they had left?) right outside the elevators. Bathroom a little yucky....but room, bed, TV OK....wireless access a little spotty and frustrating at prime times. Location however was Spot ON!

This is the second stay at the Holiday Inn in the Historic District of Philly for a convention and love the location. Only a few block walk from the convention center, the hotel is surrounded by history.

friendly staff

Although our visit was short, we had a series of questions and request for the staff behind the desk. Each question was answered in a friendly and professional manner and our request concerning a later check out time for instance was granted with a "no problem" attitude. By the way, the room was clean and without any problems at a good price and ideal location in the heart of the historic district.
