Avoid at all cost.
Was off to a bad start with the rude baggage handler in the lobby. First room had non-fonctioning AC, and we could barely turn off the shower. Had to request a room change at 10:30pm. Second room was in just as bad of a condition as the first one, but at least the AC was working. It was a room for 4 people, and only had 3 towels. This hotel is long overdue for a major remodel; it’s old, outdated, and in bad condition. Not worth the price at all. We’ve stayed in much nicer 2-star hotels compared to this supposed “4-star” Doubletree.

Bathroom was in terrible shape—needs a refresh. Also, it didn’t have one single hook for hanging up clothes or towels, which is such an easy improvement to make.

Oooof. Have stayed at a lot of Philly hotels and this is by far my worst experience - probably the only bad experience. Starting with check in. The line was EXTREMELY long to check in and they only had one person working at the time - keep in mind this was at approx 3/330pm which was check in time. Unacceptable. We decided to leave and attempt to check in after our days events. Came back at 11pm and another long line. This time luckily they had 2 people working but the process was still extremely slow. They tried to give out some cookies to smooth things over - i'd rather the manager help out with check ins then give out some cookies. Room looked good at 1st but after spending some time in there, the sheets had some stains on them. We saw a mouse and called to ask for a new room. No luck, but they said they would send someone up. It took over an hour for anyone to show up. In the meantime I tried to hunt down the mouse myself. No luck but did discover plenty of droppings. Another note from the night - bar closed around 10:30-11pm which is WAY too early for a friday night. Next morning we went to breaking at the Balcony. Service was ok, but the breakfast was sub-par. $25 a person for buffet was extreme. Tried to use the bathroom there but it was covered in piss and feces. Unusable. Check in FAIL Room FAIL Service FAIL Restaurant and breakfast FAIL Bathroom FAIL Location was good, so I'll give them that. But never again - mgmt should be embarrased

Its all around average. Had a good experience with the staff, but the restaraunt ran out of food and the televsions in the rooms have no options other than flipping through channels. There isnt even a tv guide option. The bath tub was dangersously slippery. The door to the room didnt lock unless you slammed it hard. We found our room door not latched following house keeping.

The front desk staff were rude. They did not provide eye contact, therefore when I walked up to the desk after being called I walked up to a woman who I assume was unavailable based on the way she non verbally pointed her finger at the other young lady who finally glanced up (but still did not greet me) to help check me. Our room lost power for 40 minutes. No lights, tv or power to charge devices. Our sink was stopped up. Any time you ran the water to wash your hands or bush teeth it would fill the sink! At 5:30 AM the emergency alarm started blaring for about 5 mins with no instructions other than to stay in our room and wait for further instructions. Being on the 22nd floor with 2 children this put me in an extreme state of anxiousness. Finally after 5 minutes someone came on the emergency broadcast system to tell us it was a false alarm. Needless to say I couldn’t sleep after that. I called the front desk 4 times to ask for towels that morning. They assured me they put a request in however an hour and half went by NO TOWELS. Towels showed up as I was walking out of the room to check out. To put the icing on the cake. As I was walking out of the hotel I was greeted by a woman who claimed she was in management. I shared with her my experience, she jotted down notes and apologized however did not offer me anything in an effort to try to save a customer INSTEAD she tried to sell me a time share! Overall, it was a terrible experience!

We stayed for 2 nights July 27 & 28th. Check in was uneventful except for the lovely warm cookies they gave us. When we settled in and turned all the lights off I heard something crawling around in the wall or ceiling. Turn on the lights to find that it wasn’t in the ceiling. It was a mouse running around our room. Let the staff know but no one did anything. At about 5 AM the same night the emergency alarm went off and we had to get up and get dressed because we did not know what the emergency was. They later came on and said it was an accident. Didn’t matter though because we were up for the day after zero sleep. Started vacay day one very exhausted. Zero apologies for either the mouse or alarm. I’m sorry, but I think it’s a huge inconvenience to wake up your guests at 5 o’clock in the morning with a scary alarm after they’ve already been dealing with a mouse running around the room at midnight.

Worst system, Worst service
While I was checking in, I’m not exactly sure what it was, but they claimed there was some systematical issue and didn't give me my room key. Instead, they called security to bring me up. It seemed like the person after me received his key. Security opened a room and told me to go in. When I asked why this was happening and how I can go out for dinner without the room key, he said “it’s just happened. And it’s late, you are not going anywhere, huh?” It was 6:30 at that time, and I couldn’t understand at all. I told him I was planning to go out for dinner soon, but he just offered to bring food up once I order food with delivery app. I spent whole night anxious, without my room key and unable to have dinner as I wished. Sorry, but I'm an 20s Asian girl and to be honest, I’m skeptical whether there was actually a system issue, and even if there was, they should have explained what was going on and offered appropriate service. Also, I might have let it go if the room had been good, but it was the tiniest room at the end of the hallway, and the air conditioner was so loud I couldn't sleep at all. This was a business trip, and I have more trips coming up, but I will never stay at this hotel again.
