Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, clean, amenities and the view was breathtaking taking. Lots to do in the area."

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia

6/10 Okay

"The rooms were just okay, nothing special. We did have a corner room which was great and looked right out towards CBP. The shower was nice, water pressure good. The Nespresso machine was a plus. Overall, I would probably stay elsewhere and then just Uber to the casino. There was an issue with the elevators being out of service for over an hour. We were on the 10th floor... The casino was fine. There are smoking areas, and non-smoking areas. We did not find it overly smoky. The gaming areas were cleaned frequently and it was not difficult to find a server to get a cocktail. You do drink free when you are playing in most areas of the casino. The casino bathrooms were not kept clean. Either the water or the soap dispenser at each sink did not work. There would be used paper towels and toilet paper all over the floors. The food at Sports & Social (?) was very good. Servers were slow and forgot part of our order on two separate occasions. The bar staff was very nice. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at The Prime Rib with wonderful service, highly recommended this restaurant. If you've ever eaten at the steakhouse in a HR casino, this is far superior (IYKYK). Our next trip we will stay somewhere else, but would return to the casino again."

Doubletree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport

6/10 Okay

"They were redoing some rooms and there was a very strong odor from whatever they were doing even though they left windows open to help with the fumes which left the rooms and hallways cold. The outside temperature was in the 50s. I wanted to use a computer station which the website said there was but when I asked as the desk they said they didn’t think they had one."

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

2/10 Terrible

"The staff was NOT helpful at all. They also do NOT have security at parking lot. We had a rental car and parked right in front on entrance. When we got up the next morning the window had been broken with nothing left in car when asked staff for cameras all we were told was " it's just not safe to park here" no cameras to show us. NEVER STAYING HERE AGAIN. Dont let the nice pix fool you it looks nice it'a not. They also charge extra to clean room."
