Back to Embassy Suites Hotel - Center City Good deal, great service I stayed here on Halloween for a Pearl Jam concert. Game 3 & 4 of the World Series and an Eagles game were all going on this weekend as well. Everything about our stay was positive. The hotel ran like a well oiled machine. I was on the top floor and didn't have to wait long for an elevator except during checkout hours but I can see why it might be an issue, all elevators go to each floor rather than split for express service. Cleaning service as well as check-in and checkout were fast, consistent and great. Service all around the hotel was great even at the free breakfast and happy. Breakfast was pretty good consider it was free, they kept the buffet stocked and clean, tables were cleared immediately and seating wasn't too bad considering it how busy it was. The omelette guy was pretty bad ass at making damn good eggs and serving them up in a mad rush. Happy hour was equally as good with decent snacks and good mixed drinks. I don't know why some people are complaining. No wait for the valet either, overall the stay was top notch considering the price and free meals/booze. The staff was incredibly friendly and we received better service here than at the Loews. The lowest point of the whole experience was I found a lady bug in my room on the inside of the window, but what are you going to do. I didn't kill because that is bad luck and the Yankees won both games since.

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 30 2009 Not bad, but not great Our newly renovated room was neat, clean and spacious...really quite nice. But no matter what they do to the property, there are only 3 small elevators and they are used by both guests and staff. So be prepared to wait for elevators, and to stop on what seems like every floor.

Our room was spotless, we had a surperb view of Logan Circle, all the way up to the Art Museum. The amenities enabled us to have dinner in our room, on the balcony, watching the sun set. It was a fabulous stay!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 09 2007 Good Vibes I loved the friendliness of the staff and the spacious two room suites. I have stayed here many times and appreciated the associates remembering my name and my personal hotel preferences. Good vibes all around.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on May 05 2007 Friendly Staff Prompt service The hotel is a a wonderful location for work and sight seeing in Philly. I don't like the fact that you have to pay for internet access which is free in most other hotels. However the large rooms/suites and friendly staff make staying there a pleasure
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 26 2006 A home away from home We liked the view, space, cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms, the staff was very nice, breakfast was hot and fresh we love being able to have our omlets being cooked right before our eyes and we liked everything else this hotel had to offer. We traveled to Philadelphia on a charter bus in 2003 and 2005 for a church youth convention. We stayed at the Embassy Suite every time we came. Our group loved everything about this hotel. When we came back in 2005 the rooms looked a whole lot different from when we came in 2003. They did a beautiful job with the renovation. The large King bed and queen sofa bed were comfortable. We are planning our third trip to Philadelphia. This time it will be for leisure time and we will reside at the Embassy Suite.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jan 22 2006 LOVED IT! We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great. The spacious room was clean. The staff was fairly helpful and friendly. They offer a complimentary breakfast at TGIF's that was very nice. The location was fantastic and we walked to many museums and restaurants. This hotel definitely had a lot to do with our having a great trip in Philadelphia. The down side was you have to pay for parking which is around $24 a night. We parked at a parking lot within a block away and paid considerably less then the hotels parking lot. Also, cable internet was $10 a day which irritated me a bit since this was a working trip. All in all this is an excellent place to stay!
Reviewed by: Michele S from on Oct 23 2005 Great local, great value We loved staying here. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and we had a great view of the city from the 17th floor. The hotel offered a complimentary cocktail hour and breakfast, making its value even better. Plus, the hotel was within walking distance of major attractions in Philadelphia.
Reviewed by: Ali from on Oct 02 2005 The Best Of The Best I chose the Embassy hotel because I recntly i was their for the very crazy Live 8. Everything was just on point,although that whole week was a very busy week for Philadelphia. I called around for my friends to get a nice place to stay and all the other hotels in Philly wouldn't help us find a nice room they would try to just fit us in somewhere as appose to the embassy where they took the time out to help us get a nice room. This was also better because i was already on Ben frankilin parkway.So i got to get uo early and get a nice seat at live 8. When i arrived at the hotel the service was exceptional it was my friends and i were superstars they didn't heisitate to come help us room service was there when we called for something to eat. The room was also clean. When we first got there and it was like something out of a movie . I swore the room had a sparkle to it because it was so clean that it was like nobody had ever been in the room at all.
