Upon arrival, I was greeted by a young lady, named Tyra, who had an absolutely contagious smile, and was happy to upgrade me to a suite. I believe she must’ve taken pity on me after a very long travel day but, as mentioned, her smile immediately made you feel at home upon arrival..
Over the next couple of days, I would meet other colleagues of hers that were equally wonderful. Hermes, seems to never leave the front desk, yet he greets everyone that walks through the door with a smile and a happy attitude that really sets the tone for any trip that you may be taking. The property is incredibly well-maintained and the housekeeping staff is completely attentive to detail, and seem to be constantly busy attending to windows and floors, even when everything seems to be spotless as it is.
In Hermes’ shadow, Kevin was always there at the front desk to assist with anything else that may be needed to guess we’re checking in and, once again, always had a smile. I would so very highly recommend this property to anybody that is traveling to the Philadelphia area and may not want to stay downtown. this area felt very safe and welcoming and the staff at the Holiday Inn express should be commended for their absolute commitment to customer service and hospitality.
Highly recommended!
My one and only dissatisfaction was there is no hand wash u have to bring if u want.
if possible plz keep the hand wash each room .
Breakfast we can’t take we have tell what we want they will give you
Room cleaning : they give you cleaned and sanitized room. once u check in they won’t clean until you check out if you want towels or lotion anything there is one separate place you can get over there .
We liked that the hotel offered coffee 24/7 and we could purchase other drinks by charging to the room.
The second night was a little noisier because of a huge group of kids staying at the hotel for a dance event or something.
Breakfast many items were empty. Not much in healthy options. A couple oranges. What they had did taste good.
I left a credit card on file at checkin. I knew they were putting a $50 hold but then over the 2 days we were there a bunch of other random charges and credits showed up on my card. Six transactions over $200, I have no idea what for. I’ll call tomorrow if they don’t clear off my card.
Housekeeping never came to our room. Not sure if this is normal? No clean towels, trash not emptied, beds not made… never had this happen at a holiday inn before. I know they don’t always leave clean towels but they literally didn’t do anything during our 2 days there.
Overall a pleasant experience. Only minor inconveniences.
The only issue I have is that the toilet paper rolls are placed way too far from the toilet seat. A short person will have a very hard time reaching the rolls while seated on the toilet.
Many don't want to place their luggage on the floor. This room had a large desk and a bench where luggage could be placed. Three large drawers as well.
The chair for the desk is adjustable for height. 3 cheers for the room designer!
How anyone can complain about the breakfast is beyond me. Two pancake machines, two juice areas, and the best hotel breakfast selection I think I have ever seen. Boiled and scrambled eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, fruit, pastry, yogurt, potatoes, and more. Extremely clean and lots of space to eat.
There is a railway line behind the hotel. I could hear the trains every few hours for about 15 seconds. It is not very loud and only those who are extreme light sleepers would be disturbed.
In short, I loved my stay here.
The morning breakfast offerings were impressive. There were pancakes, omlettes, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs, and various breakfast meats, along with cereals, bagels, croissants, muffins, and oatmeal. Some of the offerings changed daily. The workers kept the pans full and the tables clean.
I highly recommend this hotel. I will stay here again if I'm in the area.
We booked a stay for a two queen suite from Thursday 7/11 into Friday 7/12 for $140 through agoda. The hotel was clean, there were complimentary snacks, water, and coffee that greeted us as we checked in. Hermes, living up to his greek namesake, checked us in quickly after telling us about all of the amenities. We were also grateful that we were given a room on the top floor which overlooked the trees and railroad nearby - my boys, who were attending, love railroads. At check out, Hermes was also patient with my son when we were returning our keys, and Hermes even offered for my son to keep one as a souvenir.
Finally, the breakfast on Friday (7/12) morning was well stocked and Jose kept the eating area clean. Jose was quick to stop me from cleaning up our table (even after our boys had made a bit of a mess). I appreciated his service.
All of this for $140 we WELL worth the value. We didn't even get to use the pool!
