Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was my first time staying at the Independence Park Hotel. The room was cozy, clean, and very well maintained. Super glad there was a mini-fridge in the room! The breakfast options were great. Check in and out was super easy and the staff were wonderful. Lastly, the location was fantastic. I will for sure stay here again when in Philly!

Hotel's Favourite
My family of 4 stayed here for two nights. Great location directly across the street from the Museum of the American Revolution and an easy walk to to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Ben Franklin Museum, and all the other historical stuff. Easy, reasonably priced self-service garage parking just a block away. Entire hotel is new, clean, and modern. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast buffet included in the price, basic hotel fare including make your own waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, etc and good coffee! Many great restaurants within a two block radius. Comfortable beds, clean, modern bathrooms. Great experience!

The location to the Olde City area (Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, etc.) cannot be beat. We walked it all without touching our car. Room was small but nice. It is a historical building after all. Staff was nice and professional. The one star was lost because the parking garage used didn't work with the badge given. It did let us out with the pass, so in the end it all worked out. If we had to do it again, we wouldn't buy parking from the hotel ahead and just use the garage tickets. It o ky saves three dollars a day. We also had a used bar of soap left in the shower. Easy to throw away, just kinda gross.

Dear Keith Thanks for the 4 STAR review and for telling the world how our "location" to the Liberty Bell and attractions 'cannot be beat" THANKS I am sorry that the Philadelphia Parking Authority was upgrading their equipment and that our parking pass was a little difficult to maneuver, but I am glad that it did work out. Besides saving $$ on the parking, our pass also allows you unlimited In & Out access, which can be very convenient and an additional savings to our guests. Anyway, we appreciate your selecting the Independence Park Hotel and for the 4 STARS...we're pushing for 5 STARS next time! JM

Stayed 2 nights & were very happy with it all. The rooms were newly refurbished & were clean, modern & comfortable. The breakfast options were varied and delicious. Fresh chilled water was always available in the lobby as well as complimentary cookies & cheese at certain times of the day. The location was excellent with all historic landmarks within walking distance. Great food options for all tastes, also within walking distance. Overall a very nice stay, highly recommend & will definitely come back

Hotel is in a central location, 5 minute walk to Independence Hall and the other historical sights. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice, a little small but not cramped. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was modern with good water pressure. Breakfast was good, loved the fresh waffles and lots of options. Cookie hour was a nice touch and coffee and water always available in the lobby.

I stayed here for a Bruce Springsteen concert at the Wells Fargo Center on March 23. The hotel was a very positive surprise! I had my suspicions about the level of service when I contacted the hotel via email for changes to my booking before arrival and the frequency and helpfulness of the feedback I then received was fantastic. The staff, from check-in to breakfast and the manager are outstanding with an extreme level of service. The hotel? The room I stayed in was quite large, bigger than expected and very clean and fresh with a good shower/toilet. The breakfast buffet exceeded expectations! I thought the location of the hotel was good, some historic buildings in the area, good access to parking and walking distance to the 'city'. Good and easy communication with local transport to Wells Fargo and the surrounding area. I would definitely not hesitate to stay at the same hotel if I ever visit Philadelphia again.

We stayed here while we visited Phildeplphia this was one of our favorite places so far. The staff is friendly and helpful with all questions. They are so prepared for check in, we had a car that we needed to park and the hotel gave us great step by step instructions on where to go to park and how to do it. The location of the hotel is excellent also you are close to all of the historical locations (they have a handy map which is super helpful) and there are a ton of food options literally all over. The rooms were super clean with comfortable beds and the sofa couch was comfy too. The breakfast was one of the families favorites good options to choose from the family favorite was the Libery Bell waffles so yummy! Would definitely stay here again!

I can't believe how I lucked into this amazing hotel after staying a nightmareish night elsewhere in Philly and having to find another hotel last minute. You can not beat the location. Walk to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, etc.. hotel sits across the street from the American Revolution museum. I was in Philly for a concert and after I stopped at a late night pizza place 1 block down that hit the spot. So many restaurants and shops within a very easy walking distance. The hotel interiors were gorgeous and well maintained. My room was super clean, bathroom included. I had the smallest room option, which was closer to European size but it did not feel cramped at all. They make good use of the space with furniture, large closet, etc.. The walk-in shower was spacious with good water pressure. The shower was draining slowly, which I shared with the front desk on my way out. When I returned a few hours later, it had been fixed. Great hotel, didn't have any idea how much I would love Philly but I think between the city and this gem I will be returning after all!

This is our5th hotel in Philadelphia! And this hotel rate high on our list! We checked in on June 30th and checked out on July 2nd. We just drove down from NJ for the weekend. We love spending time and exploring in Philly! This hotel by far exceeded our expectations! The price, the location, the room, the amenities! No complaints at all. We will definitely stay here again! The breakfast was GREAT! We stayed in room 208 and it was great. Comfortable bed, pillows, AC unit works well, yesss room is smaller but so what! We were good with it. It was just the perfect size and our weekend getaway. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The complimentary cookies they put out for the guests were so good! Grab a few if you happens to see them out.
