Top Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Wilmington Riverfront

8/10 Good

"Beaitiful new area in Wilmington along the Riverwalk."

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall

8/10 Good

"Great staff here, the place is amidst renovations. We were on the 4th floor and the room had just been renovated , clean room. We used the pool and there were no towels. There were also no towels for my kids for showers the entire day. The poor guy working the front desk had been there almost 24 hours already and he gave us some smaller towels instead. If you are going there in the fall of 2026, expect the lobby to be a mess for renovations."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable and clean . The staff was nice n polite . Only thing said I had was that when they gave me my first room it was used n not clean yet. Had to go back some n let them know . Other than that my stay was comfortable and I would stay again"

Waterfront Inn PHL Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Location is fantastic. The property is being updated so won’t hold that against them. I really just wanted an affordable night on the river that was relaxing and that is what I got. Bed was comfortable, shower had good water pressure and fridge was cold, I was not looking for a five star resort and feel the value for my money was good."
