Hotels Near James Ramp Playground in Philadelphia

Stayed one night while in town for a concert at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion and sightseeing in Philly. This is a newish hotel on the waterfront with great views of the Philadelphia skyline and Ben Franklin Bridge. Room was clean and comfortable. Tried to eat at the restaurant in the lobby but they were unprepared for the volume of guests so we left after it was clear staff were overwhelmed and did not notice arriving guests. It’s a very short and easy drive to the historic area and easy and safe 15 minute walk to the concert venue. There is not adequate space to park to check in when there are more than 2 guests arriving at a time - this is an issue as access to the parking lot requires a room key. They charge for parking - pretty routine for city hotels, but this is not in the city, so they could do away with it IMO. Overall a nice stay with just a couple of inconveniences.

#positive #I was happy with the Mosquito Control Measures, Corridor Soundproofing, Nearby Activities, Toiletries, Nearby Shops, Room Layout; The clerk here is very friendly. If I want to wash clothes, she will take me there and teach me how to do it. I booked a room for four people, and there was only one other person there that day, so it was very quiet and comfortable. In addition, you need to swipe your card to enter and exit, and the location is also very quiet. I need to remind everyone that hotels in the United States do not bring toiletries. If you don’t bring them, just go to the nearby Chinatown to buy them. You can also buy locks there, so you can feel free to lock your things in the cabinet and go out to play with various things.

Facilities: The facilities are good, but some needs such as refrigerators and microwave ovens need to be called separately, but the hotel will respond in a timely manner. Hygiene: Hygiene is very good, clean and tidy! Environment: The geographical location is extremely superior, and it is very convenient to do everything. Ordering Chinese food takeaway is very close to Chinatown, and the food is always hot when it is delivered.

Excellent location. Very easy to walk anywhere. A bit of a small room but good for 1 or 2 people. Room is not sound proof at all, heard next door chit chatting late at night.

Everything about my brief stay at this hotel in Philadelphia was fantastic. The room was perfect - quiet, comfortable, and clean - and the location terrific. Best of all was all the kind and accommodating assistance I received from the three young women at the reception desk, Sam, Shai, and Dayana. As a seasoned traveler, it's always nice to have such courteous, helpful people available at most anytime; indeed they also seemed to embody the congenial tone of the entire delightful hotel. A great visit.

I understand that the property had been renovated. The room looked okay, I found dried crusty blood stains on the bedsheets. The room walls are thin, needless to say everyone screaming at each other in the room next door (probably high on **** and alcohol) at 1 am in the morning is my nightly entertainment? Only 2 sets of towels and this new eco-friendly policy means you don't get any new towels unless you ask and then nobody shows up. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom was broken, I had to flush the toilet a couple of times for it to work. The shower is nice and spacious. The cleaning crew must have been understaffed, because there was mold in between the shower tiles. There is no functioning ventilation in the bathroom. The air conditioning, when and if it works, is super loud. Upon arrival it was set to 72, I tried changing it to 68, but it jumped back to 72. TV was working, unlike the remote, some keys were just dead. The room smelled musty. No microwave, the fridge was not cooling either. I thought maybe the ice machine on the 5th floor could cool my water down a little. Come to find out that the ice machine wasn't working and from the looks of it, it never has! Also, the ice machine room looks like World War 2 has left its mark. The ceiling is about to fall down and it's dirty. The hallway has nice carpet but again, the cleaning crew might not be fully staffed and dirty fries were left all over the hallway (5th floor). I see that the hotel has a non-smoking policy. This may apparently only apply to cigarettes. Floor 5 and 12 reek of ********* so badly, it creeps into the rooms and makes a good night sleep close to impossible. It's not a whiff you get from someone who has recently smoked walking by, it comes from the rooms. It is utterly disgusting and Hilton should be ashamed. The staff at the front desk is jaded and rude, I'd be too if I had to deal with what's coming through that hotel. Breakfast doesn't open until 7am which didn't work for us because we came for a business trip and had to leave the hotel by 7am. Also, breakfast is not included in the $700 for 2 nights. Instead you choose from 3 or 4 overpriced omelets from a menu. $40 for 2 mini omelets and a cup of coffee. It didn't taste too bad but that price is not justified. Also, the breakfast room is way too dark. I could barely see the food in front of me. Parking is an insult to be honest. Philly is not a safe city and for $700 for 2 nights I would have expected parking at the hotel or at least covered parking that is being monitored at no extra charge. Instead, you can drive 1500 yards down the road to an open parking lot that will cost you $13 a night ($15 if you use a valet). It is not monitored, no security and any random person can walk in there and wreak havoc. Shameful. Overall, not a Hilton experience, for the price I paid I would have expected service which I didn't get. Never again and I am hoping other Hilton properties aren't so shameful.

The sound insulation was bad, can heard the water pipe, the people in the hallway, and the outside cars. If you are a quite sleeper, don't choice here. Overall the value of the cost is okay. The parking charge is not that reasonable.

The service is good, and the cleanliness is excellent, but the pool was closed for the weekend. The rooms do not have a minibar or smart TV.

Facilities: Airport shuttle has a flight from the hotel to the airport in half an hour, very convenient, the driver is very warm. Hygienic: Some curtains are not very clean, the toilet will have a taste of decoration, but overall it is satisfactory. Service: There are effervescent films at the front desk, the best in the whole venue! Environment: The room is much larger than I thought, with a small refrigerator.
