The hotel was nice, front desk was nice, hallway to the elevator was rather dark but hallway to the room was well lit. Coffee was served in the lobby but there was not cream, another guest told me that someone went to get it. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I gave up and didn't take the coffee. The food was not the greatest. We went to breakfast and the hostess put us at a table near the door and near a table with a screaming child. We asked to move to another table and she told us they were reserved. When we left, the place was still empty.

It is very close to the city hall and major attractions, that is a plus. However, the checkin and checkout process is quite slow. The staff are not very sympathetic when I lost my stuff in the lobby, they simply asked me to go to an online website to look for it. The held charge for incidentals has not been refunded promptly and I have to call about it.

The hotel beds are great and the location was central to everything we visited. Philadelphia was the last stop on our New York, Boston, Philly trip. The experience was ok but a little off the mark from the other cities. This was no different at our hotel. It just seams to be the Philly way.

The overall cleanliness of the hotel could be improved. There was a distinct smell in the halls that was unpleasant. 2/4 of the elevators were also not operating, which made it difficult to get to the room at times. The technology in the room needs to be updated (speakers/alarm clock etc.) At least an option to watch Netflix would be great, and LED mirrors for the bathroom could really elevate the experience. This is probably the most out of date Kimpton I’ve seen in a while. The restaurant attached was great, and when u did need anything the front desk was very helpful.
