Review:
The internet charged $0.25 per minute - walking distance to the historic district - the Farmers Market was steps walk to the hotel - eating was delightful - $7 one-way fare for taking train from the airport to the hotel compared with $28.5 for taking cab - the train station/Reading Market were across the street - A 7-Eleven store was in front of the hotel - friendly and helpful concierge and cleaning staff - the city tour bus stopped outside the hotel - a bit noisy location
Slightly nicer than the average Marriott - location was great for central city restaurants and many attractions - service was fine - the hotel was a great value - costly parking
An access to the internet for elite member - quaint king sized bed - internet was a bit slow at times especially during peak use between 4pm and 10pm - the door knob to the bathroom was cheaply made and falling apart - brand new renovation - rooms with noise close to elevators
No clear signs for parking at the back of hotel - the rooms ran 300+ dollars for the weekend
Lumpy bed toppers with clean and nice size - superb staff - the kids loved it - the bit poor sound insulation walls and ceilings - on-site restaurant with a bit pricy but nice food
Standard rooms with everything prepared well - no complaints - walkability of the surroundings
The location was the biggest selling point for the property - many retail and food outlets adjacent the hotel - 37-inch LCD television - high-floor rooms with nice views of the bustling street below
