Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"I love the location of the hotel in Old City. It’s near everything. The Arden theatre is around the corner, there are shops, cafes, shopping and stuff to see and do. The room was clean, lots of pillows, towels and coffee. Breakfast was ok. The area is great to walk around!"

W Philadelphia

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, great amenities, wonderful kind staff. Nice restaurant, bar, pool, and spa. I booked the premier suite which was stunning but thought it was odd that spending a lot for the room and the WiFi was not included, the mini bar and snacks in the room were not apart of the room cost, I rather those items not be in the room, you only get a courtesy 2 bottles of water. Most hotels have complementary items NOPE not here not even a tea bag or coffee in the room was free. There was a QR code to buy the items in the room, the kicker no mini fridge or microwave. Beautiful place, it will nickel and dime you, you have to pay for everything here so be prepared to spend. "
