Nice for a busy night.

The place has been nicely renovated. But little things were missed. …. The ac barely worked it was muggy all night even though we left at 6pm and set it to 68 in the room. It was a high of 88 the day we were there. And soda machine in the lobby gave out very warm soda. But it was clean and it looked nice. Bed was very comfy but 3 pillows were given for 2 people and one was throw pillow sized. Nice big TV — but room wasn’t sound proof as stated. We could hear the bday party on the first floor all night. We were on the third floor.

Convenient location for concert at the Mann. Very strong, cleaning fluid(Fabuloso) smell in lobby and in rooms to the point that it would give you a headache. I need to ease up on the strength of the fluid. I first it made me think what smell are they masking. I had to prop open my door and fan the room with a pillow to try to get some of the odor out. By the time we returned from the concert hours later, it had dissipated enough to not be bothered by it. There was no other underlying smell that they were trying to cover up. Those were breathing issues will not be able to stand it. AC cannot keep up in the rooms on the west side of the building in the summer. Even with the blinds drawn all the way, the rooms were still hot. They have a staff member that goes around and turns on the AC units for guests prior to check-in. Water in bathroom sink just trickles out and faucet does not sit properly in the hole. Staff is friendly and they offer free juice and coffee in the lobby. There was no closet and no Safe in my room. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Gas station with Mini Mart next-door convenient for late night snacks but there is a security guard out front with a semi automatic weapon. Parking is free, but the parking lot is a challenge. If you have a large vehicle, don’t even try it. I have a Honda CRV and that was about as big as I would go in that parking lot. I did not feel unsafe in this area, at all. It’s brightly lit and clean.

When we first arrived, it was a challenge to access the property having to take a left on a busy street without a true turn lane. The property has a guard gate that requires the FD to let you in by you pressing the intercom button. Parking was a little tight, but decent enough. Saw broken glass in the parking lot which indicated a vehicle break in. Did not give you a safe vibe. Check in was fine. We were there in August, the lobby AND the rest of the hotel was hot! I guess they were trying to save money. We entered our room and it was also hot! The room was very spacious with a small refrigerator, microwave, and a large TV. The beds were clean, firm, and pillows were not comfortable. The water pressure was low. And we found out on the last day, the cold was the hot and hot meant cold for the shower! LOL! Cold shower was refreshing as hot as it was. They had good internet service and there are several eating options in walking distance. You get what you pay for. Very reasonable for 3 nights in Philly.

Okay bed is fine and the bathroom yeah sure whatever. Firstly, there’s no room service so if you want your room tidied while ur gone it won’t be. Second, the room and entire decor of the place is overwhelming as hell. There are tons of bright colors and mismatched patterns it just looks like a kid made it. Third, the garden in the photo is a lie…it does not look like it at all the garden is on the bottom floor of their parking lot hidden behind boxes. It looks like it was placed just for the purpose of photos to make themselves look good that’s all. Fourth, the walls are thin you can hear a cough from down the hall. Fifth, the place is on a rly busy road i drove past it numerous times before finally seeing Philly Inn & Suites. Overall the place is clean and gives you a place to sleep if that’s all you’re looking for. I’d say it’s great if you’re looking for a place to stay for one or two nights other than that it’s not worth the money and the photos are completely catfishing you. It’s 9 minutes away driving distance from this quaint little town called Manayunk that is super urbanized and beautiful. That’s where i spent all my time cause really all that’s around the hotel is a weird sushi place olive garden and a busy road. (Also parking is hella limited)

When we arrived, our room was boiling hot. Within 10 minutes we were all dripping with sweat. There were no towel racks in the bathroom and the vent went straight into the neighboring bathroom- you could see through it! The floors were dirty and all painting and decor was poorly done and showed significant signs of wear. The fuzzy blanket that goes under the comforter had a cigarette hole in it. It was noisy- late at night I could hear guests coming and going- I don’t think this space was meant to be a hotel and was not properly converted. We will not be back.

My room had roaches, there were blood stains on the sheets, mold on the walls, rust in the bathroom and O witnessed a fight between staff and another guest. No one at the front desk to request a refund and now the hotel is trying to refuse it because I stayed. Unfortunately I had no choice since I was from out of town and there was no one on location or who would pick up the phone for me to speak with. I will be reporting this hotel and don’t recommend anyone ever stay there.
