Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center

8/10 Good
"Overall, our stay was great. Front desk and concierge staff was very helpful and approachable. Great selection of breakfast items. Room was clean and beds are comfortable, we all had a good night sleep. Location was near the train station, Reading Terminal Market and restaurants. The only minor complaint I have was that the tub didn't drain fast so there was a pool of water while showering. Also, after check in, when we first entered the bathroom, there is soiled smell."

"Overall it was an amazing stay. Property is beautiful, great location ,very helpful staff.. the only negatve I have to say that the conditioner was out in the shower and the ac in the room was not high enough at night. I am sure they would have corrected these things if I had pointed them out, but I didn't. I would definitely stay again."
