This properly is extremely run down and extremely sketchy. Everything looked dirty. There was no hot water and the beds were uncomfortable. The front desk staff were nice but I just never felt comfortable at all and feel I need to do a deep clean of all my belongings. Was hoping for a better visit.

The staff was polite and courteous and the rooms were clean. Only one working elevator. Parking was altogether awful. Few spots of which none were available at the time of check-in and extremely limited onsite. We had to park across the street at night, a highly busy road as well. Not sure what can be done about that with the limited space they have, but still a huge negative.

Basic hotel, but very clean & exceptionally quiet. Our room was right by the elevator and we heard no noise. They have a small parking ramp on site, and a few open spots in front of the hotel. Making a left turn into the hotel is difficult in traffic, so changing your route to turn right into the place will save you time.

Good value for Philadelphia

Good value for Philadelphia. I needed one night to visit my busy doctor daughter and the Philly Inn worked great. It is an older property but they have done a nice job of updating it. The bathroom was completely updated, clean and spacious. The bedroom was also large and clean and the bed was comfortable. It was less than $200 for the night which was a good deal. The location was also good since there were places to eat within walking distance.

Not so bad

The hotel was very clean, staff was pleasant, check in very easy. Parking is horrible, bed was comfortable but not installed correctly, one side was hanging off of too small of a platform, so made the bed lopsided. Very disappointing that we had to take cold showers. Lovely decor.

Its colorful and not in a terrible area. That being said, they initially tried to give a downgraded room at the same rate because the a/c didn't work. We found out that wasnt true when the room had bugs and we asked for a change and to be charged the rate of the downgraded room. They will take American Express to hold the room but not for payment when you get there. They don't provide housekeeping during the stay. We asked for towels and offered to get them at the front desk. The clerk said he would bring them in 30 or 45 minutes because it was busy ( it was). Never got them and ended up going downstairs the next morning anyway. The floors are either sticky or slimy/slippery in rooms and common areas. The door to our room (323) looks like its been kicked in once but it did lock, so bonus that we didnt get any surprise visitors. The beds were ok and the second room was bug free. The people were nice enough. Got lucky with parking but had to order delivery to avoid losing our spot. It wasnt much cheaper than brand name competitors so overall, never again.

It’s my money and I need it now

Stayed 4/2025 Checked out a day early in time to receive a refund and haven’t received it yet. Called multiple times and keep getting the run around including being told it’s been sent on multiple occasions. Everything else was nice about the hotel.
