Great Hotel with Conference Rooms adjoining Convention Center
We spent 4 days here for a conference with this Marriott that connects with the Philadelphia Convention center. The Marriott offers a hands free by touch pad entry door and movement activated touch free revolving doors. Check in is at standard checkin and Marriott premium checkin. The lobby hold a lounge with stair and ramp accesses. The lounge furniture is large and comfy within the full bar area. The lobby also holds Center city Market with an array of single size and sharing size snacks, most impressive to me popcorn. Bottled CicaCola® products, 3 versions of cold brews with photo guide on tap along with macarons and chocolate cake slices. The numerous meeting rooms are shown on a map in the lobby. The rooms are numbered or organized by name like the Franklin Rooms. Conference rooms are carpeted to fascilate acoustics. All meeting rooms on all 5 floors have easy accessibilty. Mens and women's restrooms have dedicated wheelchair access stall with 2 grab bars and adequate space with hands free hand wash Hotel rooms are clean, spacious and modern with amenities Large screen TV with in room coffee and tea service Excellent housekeeping here Accessible parking at $60 per day via valet. Great set up for meetings of our group of over 8,000

Nice stay
We had a pretty good stay this past weekend. The location is great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The bartenders at Circ were wonderful! Our room was clean but the bathroom had sort of a sewage smell when you ran the water. The rooms need a tad updating but overall it’s a nice hotel. I didn’t like the fact that there was a card (Marriott business card)left in our room when we got there, I’m assuming from house keeping, pretty much asking to be tipped. We didn’t have our room serviced during our stay and just feel that the hotel should pay the employees enough where they shouldn’t have to ask for tips.

Matt and Anna -the homies
Amazing time will Anna and Matt. Food was amazing and experience was like passing Go on Monopoly hits every time and feels amazing. Would absolutely recommend and definitely ask for Anna and Matt absolute vibes. Eight wings and pizza in demolished, the beers helped.

Standard stay with standard amenities, but no complaints!
I was here for two nights for a conference located in the Philadelphia/Marriott Convention Center. The conference block room rates were competitive and slightly cheaper in comparison to other local hotels at $234 a night. Front desk staff made check in and check out very easy. When I called and ask for a late check out by 90 mins I was denied. However, after politely inquiring in person downstairs this was no issue. I stayed in a standard king sized bed room that had a desk, sitting chair, fridge, TV on the 8th floor. On my floor there was a laundry room that had a microwave if you needed it. The space was clean and I had plenty of linens. I realized that my room didn't have a TV remote later Saturday evening and someone delivered it to me within 30 mins of requesting. Beds were comfortable enough and I slept soundly through the night. A bonus is that the walls at NOT thin so I didn't hear my neighbors. I have no complaints about my stay and would return again. The true advantage of this location is that it is of course connected to the convention center, but also literally across the street from Reading Terminal and very close to a variety of great restaurants. Parking here with valet when all is accounted for is $80 essentially per day. You can pay less at the Convention Center garage across the street, but the cheapest is a small open lot I stumbled upon at 13th street behind the hotel that was $50 per 24 hours. You can literally take the 13th street entrance out of the hotel and cross the street immediately to your car. It could not have been more convenient! In summary Phildelphia Marriott Downtown provided me a comfortable standard hotel experience with pleasant customer service. I would stay here again.

Large, busy, but saved by an outstanding staff
The location of the Downtown Marriott might demand you consider it, you should weigh its size (enormous) and the cost, especially if you're driving and want to park at the hotel. There's not much you can do about the hotel's enormous footprint, and there are some parking options that you can explore ahead of time. The main plus of the hotel is the staff. Most of them were extremely helpful and two, Latoya and Maurice, went out of their way to make sure that the issue I encountered was solved quickly and to my satisfaction. They changed what would have been a horrible stay (if indeed I had stayed) into a very positive experience. Rooms are comfortably in size and housekeeping is amazing. I went to school and worked in Philly, so returning to the city is filled with a fair amount of experience, and I always enjoy returning. The aforementioned front desk folks' willingness to listen and address my concern would be the reason to consider staying here again.
