25 reviews for Courtyard by Marriott
Ask for a room facing city hall and on a high floor. You will be blown away by the view.
Trust me.
In my opinion best value in the city.
Normal Marriott rooms but updated and beautiful to boot lobby and meeting rooms.
This is a beautiful, historic and stately building. I've stayed here several times through the years. My close friend works for the Marriott brand and her hook ups allow us to enjoy this hotel very well. The rooms are well appointed. The beds. OH THE BEDS! Heavenly.
The location is prime city center. It gets pretty quiet at night, so I'd probably cab if it you didn't drive. But it's all very close to some wonderful restaurants and shops.
I stayed here for work a couple times this past year. The hotel itself is fine, maybe a little old but fine. The rooms are decent and the gym is actually really nice. The main issue I had was parking, if you valet your car, expect to wait 45minutes to an hour to get it back.
This hotel in Center City is in the perfect location for any tourist visiting Philadelphia. We were able to walk everywhere, to all the major sights, museums, and restaurants. The hotel is in a beautiful historic building directly across from City Hall.
We didn't eat any meals at the restaurant, but we did have complimentary coffee/hot cocoa in the lobby. Each room has a coffee/tea maker, and there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby, including Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts.
The hotel is two blocks from the convention center, Reading Terminal Market, and Macy's. We were in town for the Marathon, and the start and finish line were only about a mile away. The famous LOVE sculpture is also about two blocks away, plus we easily walked to Old City and saw the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, and Independence Hall. Chinatown is a short walk away, and we had some great dinners there.
My only complaint is that during our 5 day/4 night stay, our room was never made up. Even though we were out of the room every morning and afternoon, housekeeping would come at strange times, like when we were resting before dinner. While we were able to get clean towels and extra shampoo and soap (Davies Gate products), it would have been nice to have had the bed made at least once.
Regardless, I would definitely stay at the Courtyard by Marriott again, and I recommend it to others. We were able to get a reasonable rate by booking through http://AAA.com.
I was here for work a few weeks ago. It's an ok hotel in a good location. From a security perspective, I did not feel very safe as there is a back entrance with only a security camera. The building, though, is beautiful in and of itself.
My girlfriend and I decided to visit the city of Philly for New Years. We booked reservations here 3 weeks in advance and arrived New Years Eve. We arrived a couple minutes early.. check in was at 3pm but they were more than happy to get us to our room. We stayed from the 31st to the 2nd.
I thought that it was cool we had to use our keycards to access the elevators. I guess its for security measures. We expected more from the room when we got in. No mini fridge or microwave. Good thing the market is located down the block and the 7-Eleven is open 24/7.
Room service cleaned up when we were gone. I thought that that was cool. Cept for them leaving a bag of leftovers but throwing away our liquor and red bull (*__*) when we choose to visit Philly again we may stay here since we get points and such and the stay overall was good and reasonably priced.
P.S.. do not.. I repeat do not eat bfast in the Annex (located w/in the facility) I payed $38 for me and my significant other. Same price I payed for dinner that same night at El Vez (Excluding drinks) Hence, the Bfast was bland and expensive.
A nice hotel in downtown Philadelphia located blocks from the Reading Terminal. It is a long walk to Independence Hall but there are not too many hotels in that area. You are also located near Chinatown.
They serve breakfast in the morning but it's overpriced. I would have rather eaten at a local coffee shop.
There is free Internet service in the rooms and valet parking.
Pretty average by Marriott standards. Front desk staff sucks. There's nothing i hate more than being greeted (or rather not even greeted) by a bunch of people who clearly hate their jobs and hate dealing with hotel guests.
Rooms are decent size, clean, etc. Like i said, pretty standard. Great location, unless you're staying here to visit UPenn, then it's totally out of the way.
i went here with my mother and father. first of all parking sucked soooo bad and the pool went only three feet deep and the hot tup had a gross scum groth. We found a cocaroach in the POOL the pools shower room had one little box shower the location was some what nice at the end of our stay we waited for the valley for one hour
I was a little concerned about staying here, because after I booked my room, a friend mentioned that he thought is was just so so. He could not have been more wrong.
First off, the location is awesome. Close to Reading Terminal, across the street from City Hall and a quick walk to Franklin Institute. Plus, it was just across the street from where I fell off the train coming from the airport. Second, the building is beautiful and I swear the place must have had a recent refurb. The carpet in my room was clean and fresh, looked brand, brand new. Same with the furniture. The bed was cushiony soft and I was even lucky enough to get a room with a view!!
I loved this hotel. Plus, I swear Mr. Marriott must require that all his employees are nice. I have never seen such nice people. For real. They must eat sugar every day before work. I really appreciate that!
What can I say? A Courtyard Marriott is a Courtyard Marriott.
When I first took a look at this hotel, I was impressed with the high ceiling-ed lobby. I thought to myself: hmm.., this certainly looks much better than all other courtyards I've been to. And then I checked in.
My room is tiny. It's a room with King bed. From my experience with hotels, this is the type of room that should've been able to accommodate an addition of rollaway bed. But I can't imagine doing that in my room. So teensy I feel a bit cramped.
The closet was tiny and thus I opted to put my luggage by the window. The TV can be pulled out and angled so you can watch it from other places than your bed, but the pulley thing is old and creaky I didn't want to take any risk. The armoire for the TV is definitely too big for it. Bad use of space. I personally think the desk is not big enough. If you order room service, you can't put your work on the desk and have them put your food on the same desk. No room for it. Plus point for the electric plugs on the lamp desk though. Saves me from crawling under the desk. The wired complimentary internet is also a plus.
Room service is for dinner only. Boo. Not a lot of options but pretty tasty. Fitness center looks pretty spacious, though I didn't try it out. Swimming pool is like the sleeping room, it's tiny. I tried it out and I couldn't really use it to exercise as I could swim the entire length in 5 strokes. And it's only 3 ft. deep. There is a guest laundry though. I like that part, I don't know if that's standard to all Courtyards, but it's definitely great for long stays.
On my recent visit to the city of Brotherly love, I chose this Marriott to stay at after a search online for good rates & a "name-brand" hotel. The location was just right, as was the price.
Driving up to the valets, they were friendly & welcoming. I gave them my car, and headed on inside.
The front desk staff was rather rude (as someone else has stated) and didn't seem to want to do their job.
My hotel room/elevator keys never seemed to work right so I had to attempt several times before the card seemed to gain me the access.
Rooms were clean, and of a decent size. The beds rock, but then again I am partial to the Courtyard Marriott beds & pillows as they are top notch.
I was disappointed with my Marriott experience, mainly because the cost for two nights exceeded the expectations. The room was clean, but it wasn't overly nice. It was a little dingy. Maybe I expected too much from the Marriott, as I'm sure this hotel is used a LOT by tourists. Even so, this is one of those few instances that Marriott made me regret not looking further for a cheaper place that may not have had the same dingy feel to it; or atleast had a price that corresponded with the room quality.
This marriott was in a good location right in front of city hall and a few blocks from the reading terminal market. However, the minute I walked in, I could tell it was an old bank...which is fine, I guess. They had plastic flowers-not a fan. Luckily, my cousin had sent me a family coupon so the price was cut in half to $100, but there is no way I would pay $200 for this place. I was expecting something really nice, but was disappointed by the ugly pixilated wall "art". On the plus side, the bathroom and the bed were big.
this is my hotel of choice when trekking back to philadelphia. i could've sworn i already wrote a review, but i don't see it.
first of all, the location is ideal. right smack in the center of center city, it's a block from the 15th street septa station, it's a block from chinatown, across the street from reading terminal market, a block from the gallery and just a few blocks from the stores and restaurants around rittenhouse square.
i also like the fact that their beds are deliciously cushiony yet firm. very very comfortable. the rooms are clean, and if you get a corner/handicapped accessible room, you get a huge span of window. now the views aren't very nice (parking lots and sides of other buildings) but then again this is philly.
this hotel also has a pool and fitness center. the indoor pool is small, but perfectly functional.
the fourth upside to this place, like all marriotts, is the fact that they have great military/government rates. the military rate includes one free breakfast at the restaurant downstairs.
i've stayed here on a few occasions and also gone to events here while in college. the ballroom space is quite nice too.
the one downside? driving up to and away from the place. the driveway gets very congested.
My Philly Marriott trifecta is complete! I have stayed at each of the three Marriott's that are literally on the same block.
I was impressed with this Courtyard. The hotel is very attractive with some cool old world decor going on. The breakfasts were plentiful and tasty and the rooms were quite nice. The internet was.... OK... they need to work on that.
I also didn't get a Platinum upgrade and that's mostly what they lost a star for. Otherwise, it's a nice hotel, and pretty reasonable considering you're in the heart of downtown Philly.
I'm staying here for a work-related conference (convention center is less than five minute walk) so I can't comment on the price, since I'm not paying for it. But if you are able to get a good rate, this is a very clean, comfortable hotel with authentic historic credentials, and it's a great location for touring the city. The staff has been helpful and courteous.
There's all sorts of restaurants, shops, clubs, museums, and historic sites within walking distance. It was a breeze to get to from the airport ($7 SEPTA train ride to the Market East Station -- you can get even closer with one transfer), and there are plenty of buses and trains in the area. There always seem to be taxis available, too.
and, in a pinch, taxis seem ever present.
I was so disappointed by my stay here that I cut it short and moved over to the Marriott down the road after one night. Upon check-in, I was confused by what amenities were available, since I was under the impression that breakfast was free for platinum elite members. The floor manager explained nicely that I was mistaken, but offered free breakfast vouchers to both myself and my coworker. The breakfast vouchers never appeared for either of us, and I was placed in a room with two full-sized beds instead of a king with no explanation, which is something that should never happen to elite members.
After I complained to Marriott Guest Services, the Courtyard manager gave me a personal apology via email and awarded me generous bonus points. Maybe the level of service in Philadelphia is different than the other hundred cities I've stayed in, because my experience at the Marriott wasn't much better.
No complaints. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The room was nice with a great bed. Fantastic location, of course. The facility is clean and very well-maintained.
Stayed here because my cousin was getting married at the bellvue and I couldn't afford to stay there. It was an ok experience. We did have to move during our stay but that was http://hotels.com ' s fault not the hotel. They were apologetic and gave us a big corner room. Very cool. Besides that it's a Courtyard style place.
I stayed here this weekend when I was in Philly for the night. I thought that this Courtyard was much nicer than others that I've stayed at. The staff was really friendly, the rooms and bathrooms were clean and the lobby was welcoming. I'd definitely recommend this Courtyard if you're looking for a decently priced hotel in the city.
I booked this hotel on Priceline and the location was fantastic. I lucked out and paid a total of $75 for a room that would have been about $160. Plus they upgraded me to a suite which was sooo sooooo great!! Loved the beds. Loved the location. Loved that I wasn't in my mouse infested apartment in Spanish Harlem but instead... ordering room service and taking a luxurious bath. The pool and whirlpool here is a little disappointing because of their small size, but... who cares! The location is an easy walk to shopping and restaurants in Center City.
Amazing. The building was originally the City Hall Annex, so it's on the historic register. This also means it's beautiful. My 11th floor room had a view of the ornate masonry City Hall, and is within walking distance of the marketplace, and Rittenhouse Square.
The room we had the best view of City Hall and downtown Philadelphia. The bed was very plush, but firm and the sheets were clean and soft. The only complaint was that the valet can get overwhelmed and it takes forever to get your car out. And the flat screens were nice to.
We like this Courtyard. It is situated in a very convenient location. The room we had was very clean, well-lit and modern. The beds were very comfortable.
