  Great place to stay. Beautiful view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Parking guy saved a nice big spot for our 2500 truck. The cleaning ladies were super sweet. Rooms were clean. Everything you need is in walking distance. It is a bit noisy for being on the strip but its expected! Couldn't ask for much more. Highly recommend!

  We arrived at the hotel and tried to pull in to check in, it was a little unclear. Fortunately the parking security guard was there to yell unintelligibly at us and not want to hear my question. Once parked, check in was really smoothe. Upstairs in the rooms, they were very spacious, the mattress was comfortable, but it felt like someone had let the air out of all the pillows. Breakfast had the usual you'd expect from a 3- star hotel. I was really glad to see turkey sausage, though the gravy was made with pork sausage, so it's dry sausage if you don't eat pork. I really appreciated the staff member who knew right off the bat what was in the gravy. The coffee left much to be desired, though it's free all day if you don't have taste buds.

  Location is perfect to explore the city, but it is awful considering it is next to the busy highway (if you end up overlooking it). Rooms are clean and well maintained. Walking distance (if you like to walk) from every major sightseeing Philadelphia has to offer.

  Holiday Inn Philadelphia (Penn’s Landing) Review The hotel has a great waterfront location and is within easy walking distance of Center City attractions, with friendly front desk staff, a clean and spacious room, and decent family-friendly amenities. Our double-queen room comfortably fit four people, and the TV and movie options were a nice bonus. Unfortunately, the stay was overshadowed by one major issue: noise. Room 521 faced I‑95, and while the traffic noise seemed manageable during the evening, it became impossible to ignore overnight. Highway traffic and occasional train noise from the Ben Franklin Bridge made it one of the most sleepless hotel nights I've experienced. Interior soundproofing between rooms was good, but the exterior noise insulation was not. Breakfast offered a good variety, but execution was inconsistent. The potatoes were dry, the turkey sausage was soggy and undercooked, and the omelet was overdone. Coffee, tea, and pastries were acceptable, but overall quality did not meet expectations. I was also surprised that the room lacked both a microwave and coffee maker, amenities commonly found at comparable hotel chains. If you're a light sleeper, I would strongly avoid a highway-facing room. While the location and service are positives, a good night's sleep is essential, and the noise issues outweighed the convenience for me.

  the hotel was very nice and clean. breakfast was wonderful. the view was really nice from our room in 706. my only complaint was the rude security guard, he was very nasty every single time he spoke to people. he gave me such a attitude because we knocked at the front door when got there. didn't know you needed a card to open it and also when driving in the parking lot he was outside walking in the middle of the road like robo cop and gave me and wife a nasty look and just staring us down. just a miserable person who don't need to interact with customers spending good money to stay there. he was a white man with a bald head and glasses. all the other guards are very nice and smiled and said hello like normal people
