The place was very nice. They offered free breakfast and other complimentary snacks/drinks. The front desk people were very nice and helpful. The property was very convenient in location. Close to a lot of food and close enough to other things to do downtown. I felt safe enough in the area to walk at night to my destinations. The only problem I had was people being noisy around 4am. No idea if it was housekeeping or other guests. It sounded like someone was either using a hair dryer or a vacuum. But if it was a guest I can’t blame the hotel because that’s out of their control. I would stay again. The bed was very comfortable.

Home away from home

It's my home away from home. I usually go there for business, but it is also perfect for finding a place where you watch the Eagles on a big screen with a crowd of well behaved fans.

Charming hotel in Old City

My anniversary is on Valentine's Day, which, this year was a long weekend with President's Day on Monday. The location of this hotel was perfect for a winter weekend trip to Philadelphia -- we loved being across from the American Revolutionary Museum, cookie hour, hot chocolate and warm inviting atmosphere at Independence Park Hotel. Great breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.
