I cannot get my room below 77 degrees! I am on bed rest and unfortunately cannot leave to find relief from this heat. It is only the middle of May right now. I cannot imagine what this place will be like in the summer. To begin with, I was supposed to check in at 3pm; my room wasn't ready until... More

I have stayed at many hotels and Homewood Suites truly is as close to home as it comes when I am traveling for work. I cannot say enough good things about their staff either. Always very pleasant and helpful at every level.

I have stayed at the Inn at Penn many times and decided to try out this relatively new and substantially less expensive hotel for my last two stays near Penn's campus. Overall, this hotel meets expectations and is good value, HOWEVER, when they built the hotel they cut corners on the in-room heating and cooling systems. On our first visit,... More

Service was great. Location is convenient to UPenn. Lobby is beautiful and room was modern and clean. The workout room and pool looked inviting, though I did not have a chance to use either. I would definitely return to this hotel.

This hotel has many nice restaurants. Just make sure you head towards town and not away from town. The neighborhood not to far from the hotel is not the best. The hotel however is very nice, and very accommodating. The rooms are spacious and quite comfortable. I had a corner room, and the views were very nice.

We stayed at Homewood Suites for 1 night in April while touring east coast colleges with our high school son. Its location couldn't have been better for us. Close to subway station for a quick trip into Philadelphia to visit a few tourist spots. Breakfast was really good. I wish we would have arrived early enough to enjoy the evening... More

We got the hotel's address from CHOP where our child is a patient. I am pregnant and very exhausted ( have been to the ER last week myself) I was hoping for a quiet night. Unfortunately the hotel was packed with drunken guest yelling and screaming. I tried to ask the receptionist to switch me to ANY room where I... More

The Homestead Suites University City was among a group of hotels offered for booking for a recent conference (April 8-11). Upon finding I was shut-out of hotels closer to the Convention Center, I chose this property blindly because they still had rooms. The hotel was a pleasant surprise. The property is clean (it's almost a brand new hotel), the staff... More

The Hilton properties in Center City were booked for some reason, so I traveled across the Schuylkill River and did not regret it. We stayed for one night in a one-bedroom suite. Highlights: New, clean, modern. Adjacent to Penn, but a short drive across the bridge to Center City. Staff was polite, complimentary breakfast. Free wi-fi. Our 11th floor room... More

My family (2 adults and 3 young children) decided to stay here for 3 nights in early April. Upon arrival I was disappointed with the location (think fraternities), but that's not really their fault. We enjoyed the pool. Our suite was very dusty. I assumed that would be fixed the next day when our room was serviced. It wasn't. And... More
