We visited Philadelphia with our family of 6. It is hard to find affordable accommodations for that number. Holiday Inn was perfect for us. I must note that we stayed two nights that there were NO concerts, sports events, or any thing else happening at the stadiums. It would be a great location for that sort of venue as they are next door.
Good:
luxurious beds and pillows
Good bath
Enough towels for us all after we asked
Asked for a floor mop as it was sticky when we got there and it was done right away.
Kitchenette is spacious and modern. Full sized fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink. NO dishes, etc.
super clean
cool pool with color changing lights. Clean and provide complimentary towels poolside
menu was ok, kids under 12 eat free all the time
Breakfast buffet was really nice and yummy.
friendly staff.
We felt safe
a number of restaurants will deliver to your room
VERY nice hotel
Negative:
far from historical sites
If you stray too far it is a bit of a seedy neighborhood, but great stadium area.
tile area around kitchen seemed to not have been cleaned, but they took care of that right away.
parents area is not closed off or really separate from kids/ advertised as two rooms but it is really one with a partial partition that is still VERY open.
Had to ask for towels for 6.
