We had to book a hotel for a family medical emergency, and the Hotel Pennsylvania was the only one with rooms available for 9 nights. The staff are all friendly and helpful, but I would not stay here again. The room was big enough, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were clean. The room and bathroom were, however, just...

Check in was a minimum 30 minutes queue at all times of day and night. The room was tiny and old. The included breakfast was disgusting. The bathroom and shower was impossibly small. I defy anyone to get constant hot water out of the shower system. More

Clearly, management spends nothing on general room maintenance or updating to normal 2012 technology. There is no internet on this floor! Sometimes it is a question as to whether internet is free or for... More

What can I possibly add to this discussion except to say, do not, repeat, do not, stay here at any time, for any reason. This hotel has all of the charm and ambiance of the Hanoi Hilton. In fact I would possibly prefer the latter as the torture would at least have taken my mind off the bed bugs, roaches,... More
