Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue

This is a reasonable hotel to stay in if you want to be just outside the city, not in city center. It's on a busy, congested commercial strip near shopping centers and office buildings. The traffic in the area was bad, even on a Sunday afternoon, and there was no free parking. Valet parking ($10) was a better option than self-park ($5, but down a hill from the hotel). The hotel was clean, the room was ample size, and the bed was comfortable. The climate control in the room couldn't be adjusted very exactly, so it was either too warm or too cold. The decor was a little dated and past its prime. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Boring with Bad Service

The rooms were ok. I can't complain. But two things that I didn't enjoy were the service and the location. I was there for a business convention with a co-worker. When we went to eat in the lobby lounge, we were ignored. We had to ask for service several times on two different occassions. As for the location, there is no entertainment or shopping near by. So, during our down time, the only leisure we found was to walk to the grocery store a few blocks away. This hotel is in the middle of a neighborhood.

Great service following horrendous Holiday Inn City Avenue experience. The Hilton staff was extremely friendly, courteous and responsive, the rooms were clean and comfortable, dining was excellent. Parking was slightly inconvenient, but extremely affordable ($5 per night) in a guarded lot that was down the street. I would definitely stay here again!

Loved this hotel! Clean rooms. Incredible service (I was continuously asked if I needed assistance). Nice suburban area close to mall and restaurants. Quiet room. Even the vending machine prices were great compared to other hotels.
Nice Hotel on City Line

We were surprised at how nice this hotel was compared with the others in the area, although we thought it was a bit overpriced. Staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet (which was included in our rate) was nice. The room was clean. Parking is a problem with a separate lot down the street. We parked on the street. I would stay here again.
