Stayed at the Marriott Center City Philadelphia March 8-11, 2012. Decor is decidedly different, and service is average. We expected more from an "upscale" Marriott property that charges $210.00 per night plus tax and charges an additional $45.00 per day for parking. The location is convenient and the food was good, but beware of any offers for "complimentary" extras. After checking out, we were told it would take 20 minutes to get our car from valet, even though we called down ahead of time asking for our car. While waiting, the valet asked if my wife would care for a bottle of cold water while she waited. She accepted. Imagine our surprise when our American Express card was charged 3 days later for said water bottle. While the charge was minimal, it is the principal of not offering something for free, then charging the customer's card after they have no option to refuse the offer.
