We only had 1 1/2 days to visit Philadlephia and wanted a hotel near the downtown historic area. The location was great with easy access to the nearby sites, restaurants and the visitors center. It was very handy to be able to walk to everything with several great restaurants around. Our room was fairly cramped with a King bed, perhaps... more

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The rooms are average and they could be cleaner (couldn't every hotel bathroom be cleaner?) but, the room was big enough, clean enough and the staff more than made up anything else. The front desk staff was very helpful. The location is within walking distance of almost everything, and we... more

I loved this place. From the time I called to make my reservation, I couldn't wait to stay in this Hotel. When I called it was a little after midnight and I spoked with Latanya. She was very helpful on how I could get tickets to see the liberty bell. She also made me a dinner reservation at Buddakan (... more

Wow... You could not ask for a better hotel in Philly. Located in the heart of the historic district and within walking distance of 30 restaurants and sites. I was feeling pretty confident after reading all the reviews on here but I had NO idea how awesome this hotel would be. Mostly in part because of the wonderful staff. Chris... more

This is a charming hotel located in a very convenient location that is very close to independence park and to a large variety of restaurants. The building itself is on the historical register and the charm is evident from the moment you walk-in to the hotel. I have never seen ceilings this high in a hotel room ! On the... more

I have stayed in Philly a number of times and have stayed at most, if not all the hotels in the city.

If you are looking for great customer service, comfort and a nice... more

We stayed at the Best Western Independence Park for one night over the weekend after July 4th. We had two connecting rooms, for two adults, two teenagers and one middle schooler. The hotel was comfortable, clean, quiet, and seemed freshly renovated. The young woman at the front desk was helpful with dinner and walking suggestions. (We had a delicious simple... more

Stayed at the Best Western at 235 Chestnut Street - small boutique hotel. The front desk staff is the concierge/bellman and all hats at this hotel. Hotel is very clean, small and historic. We checked in early so our room was not ready. My daughter and I left our luggage with the front desk and said that they would store... more
