This hotel was about 15 minutes from the heart if gay Philly, which is exactly where we wanted to be. It was clean enough, and the room was nice. But it showed some rough edges, especially in the bathroom, where I saw rust and some exposed caulking on the tub. The furnishings were fine but nothing to get excited about.... More

The hotel is perfect if going to the convention center, getting a sightseeing tour bus, touring city hall, going to the theatre, etc. Lots of nearby restaurants, including the Reading Street Market. Hotel staff was VERY accommodating - NO complaints. We ate at the hotel restaurant while attending the 4-day convention - very good food, excellent service. For example, one... More

Nicely located downtown within a couple of blocks of the SEPTA train. Rooms are large & comfortable. Seamless check in & check out. Nice bathrooms & shower. Excellent internet connection (free). Service very good. All staff helpful. Starbucks in the Lobby. Nice restaurant/bar downstairs.

1) Disgruntled employees at the restaurant, not knowing how to serve a guest.. Horrific!!! 2) People at the front office who don't know how to smile but do a great job at throwing some attitude up in a conversation as if they own the hotel. These guys really suck!!!!! 3) What they offer for breakfast at $20 is peanuts.. literally..... More

The location is hard to beat for downtown touring. Walking distance to Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, etc. Tour bus stop is a block away. Septa subway is two blocks away. Walking distance to Museum of Natural Sciences. Numerous restaurants within 2 or 3 blocks. Hotel staff was friendly. Very quiet hotel (on the 10th floor, anyway), with comfortable beds. AAA... More

Stayed recently during horrible travels. Staff tried to boost our spirits with their help and they did. Room was spacious and having a fridge helped. Be prepared for high prices, especially for breakfast, but service was great there as well too. Valet was quick and location was good.

This hotel is located in downtown Philadelphia making it a great place to stay if you want to walk to nearby places (a couple of months or less) like the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, etc. The area is very nice with tons of restaurants and things to do in the area.

Attended an Annual Facility Manager Meeting with 15 guest the room and conference room accommodations were acceptable, staff went overboard to provide excellent service. The limiting factor was the quality of the food catering supplied (No get a bran muffins, bagels and pastries were inferior) the staff keep taking away the food and drinks even though they were told to...

There is really not much to quibble about here: this location of the Courtyard by Marriott is consistent with what you would expect from this well-known hotel chain. The service is good and the location is unbeatable if you want to stay in the center of Philadelphia. The only problems are that this building, like much of Philly, is old,... More
