Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown

The hotel is right across from City Hall and in a very convenient location. Had no problems while I stayed there. The room was very comfortable and a great experience overall. I did not use valet because there is a garage nearby but either choice is going to be expensive. Pros: Great Location, Service Cons: Parking more

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott this past weekend. We loved it! We stayed away from the valet parking, it seemed awefully chaotic. The staff was very friendly. Our room was spotless! We had the breakfast buffet. It was delicious and priced right. The hotel is very close to the Reading Terminal Market and other restaurants. We did park in the 24hour garage across the street and paid $27.00 for about 9 hrs! more

The Courtyard downtown is a beautiful hotel. I was there for a meeting and the employees are so friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend this place. more

This restored building across the street from City Hall is a very unusual Courtyard. The lobby and public areas are far more extensive and upscale than usual. What isn't is staff, which were in very short supply. Front desk, business center, and valet parking were all understaffed. Even the bar area had only one server on duty at prime time. My room was very nice, but I did pay more for an oversized corner room and it had 4 sets of windows and a great view of City Hall. Beds were soft but comfy and the room spotless. Better soundproofing than the Four Seasons for shutting out street noise. Staf did amazing disappearing acts and the tiny entrance fills with cars VERY fast. Valet service is as slow as everyone says. Pros: Cleaness and location Cons: Valet parking more

Like a reviewer before me, my party of 4 waited for our ONE car for 45 minutes! There were no other customers waiting to collect or drop-off cars to boot! Thankfully, we were just late getting on the road, not like the poor reviewer that was late to a wedding. The valet had nothing more to say than a quick sorry then lingered for a tip, but walked away empty-handed. Pathetic! For the price of the room and the location of the hotel, this Marriott is worth it, but just drop your bags at the door, and find a 24-hour parking lot. Pros: Affordable rooms, In walking distance Cons: , Crowded front desk more

You can walk to the PAFA, Reading Terminal, and dinner at several restaurants. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are pleasant and the price is right! more
