This is a very nice property. I stayed in the Headhouse Tower which is extremely close to the convention center. The room was very spacious. The comfortable bed had amazingly soft sheets. I was really impressed with the staff...each and every one was friendly, helpful and very engaged in their jobs. I had room service several times and the food... More

Room: I found the room to be very good, with a very comortable bed and ample space. I had a corner King bed room with a fairly large window; I'm not sure how other rooms in the property differ. The bathroom was spacious and of a slightly above average quality. Having to pay for internet access is always annoying (and... More

If you stay, choose a room in the HeadHouse tower. This adaptive reuse of a classic old railroad building really works well. Built in 1893, and listed in the National Register of Historic places, this structure was renovated by Marriott with considerable financial assistance from the city and under pressure to maintain it's many unique features, including large windows and...

I stayed in a standard king room at the Marriott Philadelphia Downtown for four nights in the main building as a family of four ... two adults and two small children. We chose to stay at the Marriott simply because I had a good group rate for an event that I was attending. The biggest benefit of this hotel is... More

The staff could not have been more courteous or helpful. From the time we arrived to the time we left, someone on staff was always asking if we needed any help or directions. More

Hotel is large but beautiful. The lobby has a Starbucks for snacks and coffee. Everyone was very helpful that I spoke to. Room was on the smaller side but clean and nicely decorated. Parking can be expensive but that is to be expected when visiting a hotel in the middle of a city. Hotel is in a great location and... More

The location of the Downtown Marriott is ideal, you are right next door to Reading Market Station - filled with great breakfast and lunch places (note, that most of the eating booths here close at 6pm), you are a block from City Hall, and in walking distance to Independence Hall and the Historic Section, the Museums, and dining. The room... More

The Marriott is exactly what you expect -- a large center-of-the-city hotel set up to handle convention crowds at the adjacent Philadelphia Convention Center. The Marriott is a four star hotel -- not a Four Seasons, but certainly comfortable and well appointed. Although the hotel isn't a standout in any dramatic way, everything works well. I was there for a... More

Stayed here with friends and it was great! The location was amazing near a septa station and all! Just don't park at the garage it's $45 a day you can find some close by for cheaper! Can't wait to come back again More
