Independence Park Hotel

"I was not familiar with Philadelphia. So I called the front desk rep. and spoke to the general manager, Jessica Morris. Both answered all of my questions. Jessica also sent me an email that detailed the attractions and pricing for transportation. It was also nice to go downstairs for breakfast rather then venturing out. I would stay at this hotel again."

"Lovely lobby, complimentary hot chocolate and cookie stations. Major con was that the walls are incredibly thin, and so I heard guests talking through the vents at 1am when I was trying to sleep. Suggest not booking here if you want a quiet night’s rest."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Independence Park, and really have 0 complaints. It is located in a very convenient area that is within walking distance of shopping, food, and a lot of historic sites! We loved that it is a historic hotel built in the 1800s, which just fits in so well with Old City Philly. It’s a smaller hotel (only 40 rooms), but the rooms are very spacious with tall ceilings! Hotel staff still had the Christmas decorations up when we visited in January, which gave the place a really warm feeling. The staff were super friendly and helpful! Debbie in particular went above and beyond for us. She really seems to care deeply about her guests and their experience at the hotel, the woman deserves a raise! As far as amenities go, the rooms do have a coffee machine in them and complementary breakfast is offered each day starting at 7am. The rooms are not equipped with a microwave, which may not be necessary for most folks anyway. There is no washer and dryer available for guests to use and the closest laundromat is nearly a mile, this proved to be a big issue for us. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel"

"Stayed here just for one night while in from out of town. Everyone was very friendly, esp the gentleman at the front who helped check us in late in the evening. The room was very, very clean which I loved. However, there is no way that the bed I had was a queen, though the same very kind front desk guy assured me it was. It was comfortable, but tiny. The room itself was small but had everything we needed and the climate control was easy to use and quickly made the room comfortable for us. Would certainly recommend, but go for the rooms with a king bed."

"We moved my goddaughter to Philly for school over the weekend and I decided to spend a night in downtown and after reading the nice reviews decided to stay here. I'm so glad I did. It's a nice and welcoming hotel. I stayed in a small Queen room, but while small in comparison to other hotel rooms it was still inviting, clean, and recently updated. I also loved the fact it is near many of the historical attractions and restaurants. The free breakfast was also very good. I think this may be my go to hotel for future Philadelphia visits."
