	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Perfect location for our trip - took the train a few stops to Citizens Bank Park and was short walk to Reading Market and the Historic District. Beds were very comfortable and the building itself was beautiful in its historic details. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Clean, great location, friendly staff. I have stayed in a lot of hotels through priceline and this was probably the best value that I have gotten. It was a great hotel, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating and the location was perfect

Date of Stay: October, 2008

The room was nice and was corner room as promised but NO REFRIGERATOR in ROOM as promised. I thought that they could have provided a free water of bottle for the amount I paid per night. Bathroom did not impress me at all. Very close to train, convention center, restaurants, downton attractions. They however, do not tell you about train being the easiest way to get to and from the airport ($7.00 each way, stops next door!)

	Date of Stay: August, 2008
Great hotel! Great location....great price..... great breakfast... The best place we stayed at on this trip. You can walk to so many places. Absolutely awesome. Desk personell had a cheerful bubbly personality which made this weary traveler feel much better.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
I stayed at this hotel when in town for a wedding...the location was very convenient, the hotel itself was quite nice, and the room was very comfortable. Although the bathroom setup was a little weird - the shower and toilet in one room, the sink in another - that didn't hamper the enjoyment of my stay at all.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Desk staff was very efficient and helpful. Long term parking costs $31 to $43 per day due to location. Desk staff was very efficient and helpful. When a false fire alarm sounded in the high rise building, there were helpful staff in the lobby to answer questions. Based on a limited sample, hotel restaurant wait staff was engaging and conversational. This may be good or bad depending upon your preference.

	Date of Stay: October, 2008
We were highly pleased with the appearance and cleaniness of the room; the beds and bed linens were excellent. Service at the desk and assistance from the concierge most professional. Highly recommend this hotel.

	Date of Stay: June, 2007
If you want a great downtown location in a nice looking, clean hotel with very helpful staff, this is the place !!

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The location was perfect - we walked everywhere. There were great restaurants and fun bars in the general area. The room was very nice and the service was great. We even got a room upgrade! I would definitely stay here again.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Wonderful staff! No free/cheap parking. The hotel was wonderful, the room was comfortable, and the staff was great. I was a little disappointed in the price of parking. I wasn't expecting to have to pay as much as I did. More than the price of the rental car itself.

	Date of Stay: March, 2007
What a beautiful historic building that is matched by some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered. From the time I entered the door, I knew the visit would be relaxing and memoriable. I would highly recommend the Courtyard and it is well worth the value.

Date of Stay: April, 2009

The most challenging part of staying at the Courtyard Marriot was getting to it; I was one of many who passed it several times before calling and literally being talked to the front door. Primarily due to the old Square that it and two other Marriotts are located on. Once I pulled up the valet took care of the rest. Note that the valet area itself tended to get a bit crowded but the staff were excellent. In fact the valet who assisted me flagged down my friend, who I was meeting in Philly, into the hotel. I mean he literally walked part way down the block waving his arms J later we witnessed another valet staff doing something similar, as I said getting to the front door is the tricky part-LOL While the accommodations were nothing more or less than you would expect it was the staff that will bring me back. I had made an error in booking my room and had us checking out a night earlier than we actually wanted and even though online the hotel was full, they took care of it. Everyone on the staff went above and beyond the call of duty thus the service was 5 Star all the way!! This hotel is centrally located, as far as the historic sites, along with many other attractions like the art museum and most of them walking distance from the hotel. The work out facility was good, clean but the view was great! Same with the pool, while it was small, it was tastefully designed and had an amazing view!

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Location andservice. No complaints.

	Date of Stay: January, 2007
we arrived there after a horrible experience we lost our luggage and was waiting for airline to get ahold of us the staff was amazing they accomadated us and made up for the horrible flight and experience we had my girlfriend is from Philadelphia this hotel made the visit and business trip a wonderful experience. Highly rec.

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
We were visiting our daughter attending Temple. She was only blocks away. Great sightseeing and restaurants very nearby, especially the market! I would have enjoyed being able to have more coffee available for room service vs. making my own. Loved the decor of lobby and restaurant.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Great staff, clean and comfortable room. Nothing not to like.

Date of Stay: August, 2006

Hubby and I stayed there while attending affair at Convention Center - 3 blocks away. From the time we pulled in until we left, every member of the staff greeted us with a smile and a ""can I help with anything"" attitude. Room was clean and well stocked. Great location with many great restaurants in the area. Front desk was nice. Pool was a little small but we did not go to swim. Great area and great value! Kudos to the staff!

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
From check-in to check-out the staff were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to please. Breakfast buffet was great way to start the day. Location can't be beat. Walk to museums, restaurants, convention center, Reading market...only took cabs to and from the train station.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Very clean. Very courteous staff upon check-in and throughout our stay. The lobby, rooms, etc. were very clean and it did not smell like a hotel.

Date of Stay: February, 2009

The location was excellent; right next to City Hall and within walking distance of many things. We needed to take the bus to get to the zoo, and if you are going to South Street you can either pay $6.00 cab or take a long walk. The restaurants in the area are great, as well as the fast-paced market. Plus right near the bus terminal. The service was absolutely excellent, from calling to confirm our reservation, to absolutely every interaction we had. They advertised a complimentary newspaper, but Sunday morning there was none at the door. We called downstairs to ask, and they said they had recently stopped delivering them to doors, and were out of all papers downstairs, so they actually had someone go out to the store and get one, delivered directly to our door! Downside was there was no refridgerator or microwave in the room, though there was a one-cup coffeemaker. If you don't like powdered creamer, you are in trouble, b/c you won't have the fridge to keep milk or leftover food. I liked the linens a lot- good quality, but I hated the pillows. My head sunk into them, but two was a little too much. Pool: Very good for kids. Not so great for adults. The entire pool is 3 feet deep and not heated. There is a (very)hot tub. The fitness center has many machines, including several treadmills, eliptical machines, medicine balls and a Swiss ball. There is TV hooked up to the cardio machines, but I could not for the life of me get the buttons to move to change channel or sound, so I scrapped that. As someone coming from economy rooms, I thought the room was beautifully decorated. Staff was great and I would definitely consider returning to this hotel if I am in Philly again.
