Really nice spot, the shuttle to the airport is very helpful. I don’t put five stars because we can hear a bit the planes and the doors leads directly outside.

They are cheating. When I booked this hotel, it is said breakfast included. But there is nothing!!! Chairs in the room is so dirty. There is a hole on the comfort. The rooms are not sound-proof; People at next door play music loudly. The only thing I like is the free parking. You know this is not easy near the airport. But away from this hotel!

Jennifer, the staff was absolutely fabulous. She is a tremendous help to me but the owner the indie man is very rude and obnoxious. He ignores you when you're standing right in front of him and doesn't really care and then when you ask my question he gets annoyed. I'm not gonna stay there anymore based on that, but if it was just Jennifer, I'd stay there every time I came to the area.

I like that it's right along the Delaware river and you can see the planes flying into the airport. As well as, a park right next door. Has a hotel shuttle to take you to and from the airport. Also, has some restaurants and a WAWA in walking distance.

I Enjoyed my stay at The Waterfront, the cleanliness, the view and it's quiet. The Only downfall is the Steps and the parking. Other than that, The Staff is Great, the room is clean and the View is Beautiful! Once the 1st floor rooms are completed renovated, I'll be back. I personally can't walk Up & Down all them steps with my bags.
