TV and all streaming is broken

Currently staying here, in addition to the room being dirty when we checked in ( I can't add pictures but will on Yelp - sauce splashed on the wall from a previous occupants meal, spilled drinks, and broken drawers...), the TV didn't work even with maintenance coming multiple times to press buttons and unplug and replug wires. I planned to extend our stay here by a day, but we will be checking out and going elsewhere. I do NOT recommend this place.

Downside was valet parking only, but this is a nice hotel. We came by to drop off our car and ask if they could hold our luggage, but our room was ready early which was great. The front desk agent was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and had a nice view of Philly. It's a great location in walking distance of City Hall and the Franklin Institute and also downtown historic area if you're in the mood to walk (it's like a mile). There's a seasonal rooftop pool but it's also a nice view when the pool is closed. This was a really nice place to stay in a good centralized Philadelphia location.

Stayed for one night at the Windsor Suites for the first time and it was an amazing experience. We were in town for my partner's birthday and to watch a basketball game at the Wells Fargo Center. The hotel was about a 15/20 minute drive from the stadium. The Hotel is absolutely beautiful. When you first w her the lobby you notice the giant curved couch and Benjamin Franklin quote on the wall. Our room was huge and to my surprise it came with a full mini kitchen. The customer service was amazing.I called a few days prior to checking in and mentioned it would be my partners birthday on the day of Check-In and they offered to comp our parking fee and leave some drinks in the room. When we arrived, Our room wasn't ready so the front desk provided us work complimentary food and drink waivers for Con Murphy. The only hiccup was the Bathroom- while spacious and beautiful the shower knobs were a bit difficult to figure out. All in all, I will definitely book this hotel again and I highly recommend if you're looking for a hotel to stay while in Philly

We came here about two weeks ago and we had a good one-night stay here. We arrived to the hotel early (~11am) and we were able to check-in early. We also got a room upgrade and our room was very spacious, clean, and huge! Our room had a kitchen area with a stove which we didn't use. They also had cups and plates in the kitchen cabinets. There was also an outdoor balcony with seating. The only thing that I didn't like in our room was the shower. The handles were a bit confusing to use and the water temperature fluctuated when I was taking a shower. We also informed the staff that the shower had the water dripping when even we turned off the shower knobs. The staff was very friendly and kind. Overall, positive experience. Btw, it's about an 15 minutes walk to this hotel from the William H. Gray III 30th Street train station. From the hotel, it's also walkable to many landmarks (i.e Love Park, Reading Terminal Market, Rocky Statue, Philadelphia Museum of Art, US Mint Museum)

I arrived here early on a Sunday, and was just hoping to drop off my bag, but they were able to give me my key and an upgraded room without an additional charge. So that was already an awesome way to start my stay. The room itself was very large. I had the King with a balcony, though it was just a bit too chilly to use it for more than photos. There's a full kitchen with a fridge, stove, and dishwasher, and some plates and cups available for use, though I only used the fridge. Would be very suitable for a long term stay, particularly with closets bigger than what I have at home. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of desk space that you could use if you needed to get work done, and the tv was well positioned and large enough that you could watch it from any of the seating areas. Oh, and they had a brilliant clock radio that had the time both on the front and the side so you don't need to inconvenience yourself when you blearily try to check the time when you wake up. Location is convenient to the subway, walkable to Amtrak and many museums. Also, if you're there for a conference, you're close enough to walk to the conference center and Reading Terminal Market, but far enough away to avoid the noise. If you're in town for a sporting event, it's an easy walk to hop onto the Broad Street Line and head to what I think are all the stadiums. It felt safe enough to walk back after the Flyers game. The one thing to be wary of here: they do have a rather large deposit ($250), but they refunded it within 3 days of my stay. Just try to put that on a credit rather than debit card so you don't overdraft yourself. Loved my stay and will recommend it for others.

She was social, hospitable and provided recommendations for different things in the city. The hotel is convenient to everything and very walkable. We had a time! The room is spacious enough for two people and has a modern decor. The decor throughout the hotel, however, is like an ode to hip hop culture. If you know me, I love sneakers, hip hop and everything that is the culture! The decor speaks specifically to Philly icons -- Will Smith, Meek Mill, The Roots, Jilly from Philly (Jill Scott), etc. Whoever was the interior decorator did a great job with honoring those icons and the hip hop scene. The restaurant inside the hotel was great too. I don't have any complaints besides the steep valet prices. I will visit again.

So I don't know how good the cleaning staff are at their job. Also it seemed that only 1 elevator was working. Not that big of a deal. We came during the week,so it was never crowded . I did notice that that valet guy did a good job of keeping the unhoused from hanging out in front of the hotel. For the price I felt it was a good deal. It's centrally located to almost all of the sites people want to visit. The bonus was it's right down the street from Levain Cookie's

While it does have valet service, the crack woman loitering outside the door negates that upscale feeling from the start. Check in is located on the 2nd floor but 2 of the 3 elevators are broken leading to a line of people waiting several minutes to reveal an already full elevator. So I took the stairs. Before I got to my room there was an overfilled waste bin propping open the hallway door. The room had a unique layout and seemed more "techie" than upscale at first. The room was cool - literally - I could not turn off the fan. Options were auto, low and high- no off. There was a little cell phone shelf for charging and a bluetooth mirror. I don't think I've ever seen a bluetooth mirror in an hotel before. The little cell phone shelf is cool but also feels a little redundant in a hotel room when you have better-located charging options by the bed and desk. The "techie" feel fell flat though when turning on the TV. There's no bluetooth to stream content and there isn't even one of those in room hotel internal channels. You turn the TV on and immediately get blasted by old school black and white static from cosmic radiation. The room looked clean and did have plenty of towels. More than I've ever seen in a hotel room before. There is a little shop with self checkout but the self checkout is right up there next to the check in, so I didn't buy anything because its a little embarrassing to be doing work to self check out right less than 1 foot away from the person checking you in. The restaurant seemed mid with much better options within a 5-minute walk outside - and you have to walk fast though to avoid getting accosted.

I did have an issue with bar area as I bought a beverage and showed the bartender the key with my room number on it. He later chased me down in lobby saying I didn't put my room number on the receipt which I thought he already had when I showed him my room key.

Stay away from this hotel as you will be disappointed especially if you have paid for a suite.

Ken met us right as we pulled up and gave us a parking pass--we were literally in front of the hotel, and as it was a 24-hour Sunday to holiday Monday, our car was parked there for free our entire stay.

Plus the price is incredibly low for what you get, and includes tons of amenities that chain hotels would charge you extra for-- L'Occitane products, fancy spring and bubbly waters, coffee and espresso and much more. And the common areas are just beautiful. Hands down one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had anywhere in the world.

We attended a wedding of a family member here and when I say everything was almost as if it were out of a film or a storybook, I wouldn't be far-off. The room where the ceremony was held was decorated beautifully in a crème colored white with these huge pearls hanging from the ceiling. The drinks were unbelievable and the highlight for me were free flowing French 75's. Made expertly with premium gin, in my case I asked for Sipsmith VJOP which I was blown away by them actually having. But above all what was incredibly impressive was the cocktail and hors de oeuvres hour, which was more like three hours was out-of-control good. With shellfish galore, meats and cheeses, a noodle station, a hand roll sushi station, and people walking around with small bites to try, I had never, at all the many events I have attended over the years, experienced anything quite like it. When dinner arrived, I actually couldn't believe there was still a formal dinner after everything we had already been privy to. Dinner was served extremely late, but I believe that was the choice of the couple and not the venue, and that food was just as outstanding as everything else we tried while there. If you have the opportunity to attend a private event here or experience a premium meal or cocktail hour, DO NOT TURN IT DOWN!

Check-in was meh, the person at the front desk basically just handed me a key, a piece of paper, and told me to use the two elevators to the right. Cool, no other information, and considering there is an AMAZING fitness center you can access as a guest, maybe share that information. Inside the hotel keycard holder was also a free drink up in Pergola (19th floor?) which Pergola is not good at all, you can read that review separately. The room I was in was actually quite nice, it was clean, spacious, the a/c was weird and kept going on and off but the room was kept cool. No real complaints about the room. Parking is insanely expensive, you can go literally 2 blocks away in any direction and find parking for less money, AND if you have a large SUV or truck, it wont fit in their garage anyway. Price point to value seems off for this place. Also, one of the elevators went out in the main lobby for the higher floors, and it was excruciatingly slow to get up and down. What's amusing is my friend stayed two weeks earlier and the SAME elevator went out of service. So clearly this is a problem that needs fixing. There aer other elevator banks, but good luck finding them pending where your room is, and the front desk wont tell you. I hate to admit i'd stay here again, only because of a hotel credit I get with a credit card, that fitness center makes it worthwhile. If access to the fitness center goes away as a guest, I would stay elsewhere.
