Reviews of Philadelphia Hotels »

Comfort and service at its best

Advantages: customer service and the personal touch.
Disadvantages: wish i had stayed longer

We arrived at the independence in late Thursday night after a long trip and were pleased to welcomed so openly and efficiently by the staff at the hotel. We were greeted at the taxi by a bell hop despite it being 11pm and our bags were taken to our room. The lobby was immaculate and charming at the same time.
